Rickie Lee Jones: Girl at her Volcano

Rickie Lee Jones in a striped down, at times almost vulnerable way. Any Jones fan should add this to their collection. It's a must have. There are definetly precious, historic,and great moments here! June 2, 2007

Sublime - A recording for musicans

I generally liked a lot of RLJ's stuff, but when I bought this record in the 80s, it quickly became one of my very favorites. Ricky does her usual cool stuff, but the difference in this recording is the fantastic arrangements and playing by the best LA studio musicians at the time. Ricky plays piano like she means it. The album is not a typical over-produced glob of radio-slick pop, but genuine emotion and artistic subtlety. It's really an outstanding work. The depth of artistry here would be apparent to most listeners, but quite possibly appreciated to its fullest extent by musicians and the most discriminating of listeners. January 16, 2007

Walk Away Renee

I purchased this CD for its hauntingly beautiful version of the l960's song, Walk Away Renee. The music is dreamy and expressive, and it was well worth the extra money. November 4, 2006

My introduction to Billy Strayhorn

How has Rickie Lee changed my life? Her recording of "Lush Life" was the first time I had heard that song. Through that introduction I learned about Strayhorn and Ellington and jazz was opened up to me! But "Lush Life" isn't all there is to treasure here. Each song is a moment in time and though I will always have a special place in my heart for "Lush Life" (having worn out two cassettes replaying that single track before this CD issuance), the entire CD is memorable. Rickie Lee rules! And thanks, Rickie, for the introduction to jazz and jazz singers and big bands....... January 19, 2006

Tears Of Sorrow, Tears Of Joy

I literally cried when this came out on cd. After spending years wearing out the original 10" vinyl LP and cassettes, I now have this masterpiece to enjoy. There will never be another Rickie Lee Jones. Words cannot express what this woman means to me- get her first three albums and listen to them in the dark. You'd swear this woman was singing directly to you, for you. That's how personal her songs are. (1979 Debut- "Rickie Lee Jones", 1981 2nd album-"Pirates", 1983 3rd album-"Girl At Her Volcano").
