A few might recognize a song or two from the next couple of records, but only a small following are aware of the seventeen albums that make up her body of work (album number seventeen releases in June), one of which, 2009's Balm In Gilead, is in the Vault this week.

I've heard Rickie Lee Jones mentioned a few times before, possibly on here (or maybe through Stephen). This is the first I've actually heard her perform, though. Simple, clean, easy listening... I'd give her album a full listen.
ReplyDeleteShe's a favorite of both of ours, and we've both posted about her. The full album is in the Vault.
DeleteThat is a great, Great, GREAT song (written by her Pa) which I'd never heard until I attended that MIM Rickie Lee Jones concert with you. (I thought it was the highlight of the night.)
ReplyDeleteI made it a point to find out where this song came from and to purchase a CD copy of it because... it struck me soul-deep that night I saw and heard her play it on stage in Phoenix.
Powerful, meaningful song for me!

I chose that song with you in mind, and scheduled it a while ago. I seem to remember you posting about the song but felt the album was still Vault-worthy.
DeleteNo doubt that Rickie Lee is a real pro at what she does. Somehow she never really caught on with me. She uses top musicians and she's a highly skilled vocalist, but I guess she's not exactly my style. Preference, you know.
