	Rickie Lee Jones - Official Web Site (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		RICKIE LEE sounds completely tapped in, alive and vital, heading down some mighty interesting roads and discovering new magical essences.
		Jones' new album won't be released by New West Records until February 6, but I've been playing it non-stop since I received it a few days ago.
		Lee Cantelon, who can best be described as a modern renaissance man, originally conceived the project as a lo-fi, low budget undertaking, a spoken word interpretation of "The Words," his book of Christ's teachings.

	Rickie Lee Jones: Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Jones has said in an interview that her mother was always afraid she would run away--a heartbreak she couldn’t take--and so sent her to live with her father; her parents were separated by then.
		Jones recalls that she once ran away from her father as a result of his need to control his wildly imaginative young daughter, her burgeoning sexuality and charisma, and powerful talent.
		Jones’ vocal work also hearkens back to the great singer-song stylists of an earlier generation, ranging from Billie Holiday to Laura Nyro who were intent on making us absorb reality from their lived point of view.

		Jones speciality is her remarkable ability to fuse whatever styles happens to catch her fancy and blend them into a seamless whole.
		When Rickie Lee Jones was suddenly all the buzz in the music industry in 1979, she was assumed to be the next Joni Mitchell, and had a hit album (#3, Billboard's Top 200 Albums) and single (Chuck E.'s In Love, #4, Billboard's Pop Singles) in her hands before she knew it.
		It's hard to believe Ricki Lee Jones was only 23 when she recorded this album (according to the Amazon review).

	Rickie Lee Jones
		Rickie Lee Jones was born in Chicago in 1954, hit L.A. in the mid-70s, had a couple of hit albums evoking comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro and Tom Waits, and has traveled her own idiosyncratic (not to say perverse) course ever since.
		Jones' vocal mannerisms are extreme here; sometimes you can hardly hear her, other times her girlish quaveriness is grating.
		But once the fantastic "Ghost Train," just Jones on vocals and acoustic guitar with a hint of synth, shows you how good she can be - with that remarkable sense of drama, timing and dynamics - you won't be satisfied with the rest.

		Rickie Lee, strange though it sounds, is perfect for this sort of endeavor.
		It's Jones' singing, more than anything else that she does, that drives people into paroxysms of worship, and on "Ghostyhead," it's her voice that provides the most transcendent moments.
		One wouldn't expect Rickie Lee Jones to work so well as sonic wallpaper, but, in the tradition of fine electronica, she does.

		Yet the album finds Jones viewing the harsh realities of life, including death and despair, through the eyes of a dreamer who evokes a childlike fascination while offering an existential perspective on the big picture.
		In "Little Mysteries," with its engaging '70s soul-funk rhythms, Jones prowls on cat paws as she takes on the Republican Party and "the boys from Texas" for stealing the 2000 presidential election.

	Rickie Lee Jones
		From scratched-up beatnik queen to electronically syncopated soulstress, Rickie Lee Jones has always been more than the singer/songwriter she's made out to be.
		Not unlike Joni Mitchell, her lyrics paint grand-scale vistas that refuse to ignore poignant, painful, intimate details.
		But whether she covers the waterfronts of male effrontery or the sad-eyed poverty of home and heaven, Jones sifts through the detritus to find wondrous joy.

		Jones combined the jazzy waifishness of Joni Mitchell with the streetwise grit of Tom Waits -- and her act was a triple threat of brilliant singing, top songwriting, and ingenious arrangement.
		Rickie Lee is still Rickie Lee, but suddenly her voice rings like Betty Carter to Dr. John's variant on Brother Ray.
		Jones scoops and slides but always reaches her note, easily standing up to the big band accompaniment.

		When I saw Rickie two years ago, she performed a solo acoustic set to promote her solo acoustic album Naked Songs.
		All three are middle-of-the-road bland: good reason for her to be as little known as she is; good reason for her not to make it into the pages of a cutting edge student newspaper.
		Rickie had made things up with her muse, and her fans rejoiced.

		Most people know Rickie Lee Jones as a strange chick from the '70s who sang a catchy tune called "Chuck E.'s in Love." But for those who have followed her, Jones is a musical saint of sorts, a poetic rapscallion--and a sultry and wise female counterpart to Van Morrison or Paul Simon.
		We who revere Rickie Lee have watched--or heard--her change, from a sassy girlfriend to a wry, honky-tonk demi-angel with lessons to teach.
		Rickie Lee's latest, Naked Songs, is Jones stripped, crooning old tunes like "Chuck E.," and introducing new songs like "Skeleton" and "Last Chance Texaco," a funny, sad tune that incorporates oil company names into its lyrics.

		Jones was born on November 8, 1954, in Chicago, but the volatile relationship between her mother and father resulted in an upbringing that led her everywhere from Phoenix, AZ, to Olympia, WA, where an expulsion ended her school career.
		Problems with alcohol, business difficulties and the birth of a daughter effectively sidelined Jones for much of the decade; she did not resurface until 1989's sterling Flying Cowboys, produced by Steely Dan's Walter Becker and recorded with the aid of the wonderful Scottish trio the Blue Nile.
		Rickie Lee Jones and Laura Nyro are the reasons that female singer/songwriters are at the level they are today.

		Now, though, she is singing about the ugly man with the ugly father who is blighting her nation, the two senators killed in mystery plane crashes, and the need for Americans to tell the world what is happening in the US (in a song subtitled Repeal The Patriot Acts NOW).
		Her body is big and strong-looking, so different from the waifish Rickie Lee who appeared on the cover of her first, eponymous album in 1979.
		Her father, Richard Jones, was constantly on the move, trying to make a name for himself, and the family followed.

		In 1979, when her eponymous debut disc hit record stores with its jazzy, stripped-down folk, the radio airwaves were busy getting down to quite a different sound: "YMCA," "Ring My Bell," "We Are Family." Still, she scored a No. 4 hit with "Chuck E.'s in Love," her most well-known song to date.
		For example, she's the only artist to make it onto the soundtrack albums of both "Party of Five" and "thirtysomething." And now the 45-year-old (she turns 46 on Nov. 8) is getting ready for her U.S. tour that kicks off in New York on Dec. 10.
		The other day, while hanging out at her Tacoma, Wash., home, Jones took a few minutes to correspond with me, sending along her thoughts on Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, the silliness of poetry readings, potential sex with Jack Nicholson, Major League Baseball's mistakes, hope, transcendence and whether she makes a good piece of meat.

	THE WORDS of JESUS by Lee Cantelon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In the 1990's, Lee Cantelon organized the words of Jesus, as recorded in the Gospels, into a concise book, with the intention to make available the message of Christ to non-religious readers, persons curious about the meaning and depth of Christ's words, who found themselves alienated from organized church and religion.
		Cantelon's initial concept was to have friends and associates, including Rickie Lee, punk icon Mike Watt and a homeless man he encountered daily, do the talking.
		When Rickie Lee arrived to record her track, she improvised a sermon - 'Nobody Knows My Name' - that caused Cantelon to rewrite the script.

		Well, Jones is not only one of the great female singer-songwriters but she is also one of the great songwriters of any gender and generation and her buoyant, energetic debut proves it.
		Released in 1979 but mostly recorded during 1978, when Jones was still just 23 years old, RICKIE LEE JONES is one of the forgotten albums of the last 25-30 years, a huge hit when first released but forgotten soon afterwards.
		Jones' hipster chick persona comes across on "Coolsville" and the groovy "Weasel and the White Boys Cool", both peppered with interesting characters (the album is consistent in that characters such as 'Bragger' appear more than once), but she is not gimmicky by any means (she really did lead the "jazz lifestyle").

		And Jones was a charming hostess, engaging the adoring audaud in conversation, joking about life in L.A., rude valets and "evangi-lying" billboards.
		In other hands, this naked partisanship could become hectoring, but Jones' idiosyncratic delivery and the warmth of the instrumental textures, a spacious mix of guitars, keyboards, standup bass and muted horns, harmonica and mandolin, keeps her righteous anger from being too harsh.

		Having ridden the fence betwixt pop recognition and jazz verite, Jones' records have always appeared to be keeping one eye trained on each camp.
		Much of these new reflexes in the hands of more traditional musicians tend to become a somewhat heavily smothered canvas, but Jones manages to still steer through a heavy rhythmic undertow, smart peripheral ambiences, and her sometimes dense lyrics, and still appear to sound low fat.
		With many artists veering on the electronic highway, Jones stands a fair chance of being a point of distinction considering the mammoth appeal and singularity of her voice.
