In 1979, the inimitable Rickie Lee Jones emerged with her self-titled debut, which won her a Best New Artist Grammy, and her career was off and running. What makes Jones stand out in the crowd is her ability to gracefully combine various styles of music without creating a self-conscious hodge-podge. On this album (and throughout her career), She creates an amalgam of various influences, including funk, jazz, folk, and country music.
A born storyteller, Jones marks each song on this debut with her ability to weave an intriguing tale and craft a great melody. The opening track, "Chuck E.'s in Love" was the album's hit, and is clearly reminiscent of Steely Dan's work. (She would later collaborate with Steely Dan's Walter Becker.) But just when you think you've got Jones labeled, she offers up "Easy Money," an organic and delicate country-swing tune. Other songs, particularly "Coolsville," show Jones's introspective, melancholic side and give great depth to what remains one of her best albums.
RICKIE LEE JONES is also available with PIRATES on 1 cassette.
Recorded at Warner Brothers Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California and Burbank Studios, Burbank, California.
Personnel includes: Mac Rebennack, Victor Feldman, Fred Tackett, Willie Weeks, Buzzy Feiten, Steve Gadd.

Like only a handful of her contemporaries, Rickie Lee Jones creates music that defies clear-cut labeling. You can hear elements of old-school country, jazz, and a Fleetwood Mac-esque brand of pop in her tunes. Clearly though, her music is lyric driven, and FLYING COWBOYS is no exception. Each tune is poetic, and the passion of ...

This represents the pinnacle of Steely Dan's gradual transition from rock band to their own brand of jazz-influenced white soul. Guitars were replaced by keyboards, and saxophones became more common. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were only interested in spending time in the recording studios, while the fans pined and waited. The result set new standards in recorded excellence, and is regularly used as a hi-fi shop demonstration. The ambitious title track was deemed too difficult for radio play and only the two overtly accessible tracks `Josie' and `Peg', gave them valuable exposure.

| | Beatles (White Album) CDs (1968) Limited Ed. No Longer Available
Rickie Lee Jones album
$30.59
Each copy of this limited edition is sequentially numbered. The packaging recreates the original double-gatefold sleeve and includes the original poster as well as the individual photos of each band member.
Additional personnel includes: Yoko Ono (vocals); Eric Clapton (electric guitar); Mal Evans (trumpet, tambourine); George Martin (piano, harmonium); Chris Thomas (harpsichord, Mellotron); Maureen Starkey, Patti Harrison (background vocals).
THE BEATLES (generally known as "The White Album" because of its cover) was a sprawling two-record set, highlighting the distinct personalities in the group as they matured and moved further away from each other. With the four Beatles playing like session men on each other's songs, the making of the album was fraught with tension. John Lennon's songs included a bitter take on people who read too much into the Beatles' lyrics ("Glass Onion"), reflections on loneliness and alienation ("Yer Blues," "I'm So Tired"), and the avant garde sound collage "Revolution 9."
George Harrison's songs offered black humor ("Piggies") and tender sadness ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps," with Eric Clapton on guitar). Paul McCartney ...
| | Muddy Waters Folk Singer CD (1964) Remastered
Rickie Lee Jones CD music
$8.49
Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24-karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box.
"You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had" and "The Same Thing" did not appear on the original version of FOLK SINGER. They were recorded at a separate session in April 1964, three months after FOLK SINGER was released.
The title and cover photo of this 1963 recording were an attempt to cash in on the burgeoning American folk revival, but this is pure acoustic blues. Muddy began his career as a Robert Johnson-style solo acoustic performer, and the tunes on FOLK SINGER hark back to those days. He's accompanied sparsely by Willie Dixon, drummer Clifton James and a young Buddy Guy, who provide a stark, deliberate backdrop for Muddy's rich vocal and expressive bottleneck guitar work. The richness of Muddy's baritone is showcased effectively here, with more room than usual for his voice to resonate.
The low-key setting allows Muddy to explore a fuller dynamic range as well. From the romantic yearning of "Long Distance Call" to the fatalism of the chain gang song "My Captain," Muddy's voice expresses entire worlds of emotion with only subtle dynamic changes. On FOLK SINGER's more downhearted cuts, there's ...
| | Corey Stevens Bring On The Blues CD (2003) (Import) Germany
Rickie Lee Jones music CDs
$19.99
Guitarist, composer, and singer Corey Stevens has formal training in classical guitar, but on the opening track of his fourth album he really sounds as if he majored in Stevie Ray Vaughan -- everything is there, from the distinctively adenoidal singing style to the heavyweight Texas-style blues licks. By the second track he's cutting his own path, though, with a highly satisfying slab of roots rock entitled "Hang On" (and, interestingly, a completely different vocal approach). And he continues to explore subtly different modes of expression throughout the album, never going anywhere that a fan of eclectic blues wouldn't be willing to follow, but never settling into a completely predictable groove, either. "Crazy and Blue" features a guitar solo that sounds like Robert Fripp channeling Freddie King; "You're Gonna Miss Me" reminds listeners how fun 12/8 time can be; and the album's emotional centerpiece, "Something I Can't Do," is both despairing and defiant, in a heartbreaking sort of way: "In my darkest hour, I could never do the things you do," Stevens sings, and there's something about the way that common sentiment is phrased that just catches ...
| | Pamela Means Single Bullet Theory CD (2003)
Rickie Lee Jones songs
$13.59
"If Black warrior poet/feminist political activist Audre Lorde had taken up folk singing, she might have attacked her guitar and wrapped her lyrics around it the way Pamela Means does."-Valley Advocate, Northampton MAPamela Means is a Boston-based Out (spoken), Biracial, independent artist whose kamikaze guitar style and punchy provocative songs have worn a hole in her guitar. Armed with razor wit poetry and irresistable charm, Pamela Means' "stark, defiant songs" (New York Times Magazine) set the status quo and the stage afire. Pamela's ardent commitment to interrogating social ills was fostered by her unique childhood experience. In Pamela's own words, "as the adoptive daughter of a white mother and black father, I learned about dismantling systems of oppression from the inside-out." Pamela received her first guitar at the age of fourteen, just after her mother died of cancer, and it soon became Pamela's primary vehicle for expression. It would also serve as a passport out of a life that consisted of poverty, foster homes, and the inner city life of hyper-segregated Milwaukee, WI. Pamela Means re-located to Boston, busked in the subway, founded a record label, and started touring. She now performs some one hundred twenty shows a year at clubs, colleges, coffeehouses, theaters and festivals, where she has been known to set album sales records, nationwide. Pamela has shared the stage with Ani DiFranco, Neil Young, Joan Baez, and Violent Femmes among others. Pamela Means has also been the recipient of several music awards and nominations in Boston and in her native Wisconsin.Pamela's 2003 tour took her nationwide, promoting her fifth self-released album, Single Bullet Theory (Wirl Records, 2003). A timely release, Single Bullet Theory confronts the USA Patriot Act, racial profiling, and the Bush Administration, while advocating for the rights of marginalized identities. Through the song "O.D.", "Means fires off what is easily one of the best musical summations of our current political situation.." (Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco, CA). Pamela also recorded a haunting version of "Strange Fruit". The album also showcases Pamela's innovative, expressive guitar style, evidentiary of her conservatory studies of classical and jazz guitar. The fruits of such discipline shine in her fleet-fingered fretwork, fluid phrasing, 'dizzying acoustic guitar riffs' (Boston Globe) and 'powerful songs' (Time Out NY) all of which place her at the vanguard of the new acoustic frontier. Spanning from Spanish-influenced rolling crescendos through the detuned growling guitar funk of an aggressive interrogation, Means is "redefin[ing acoustic] music.." (Washington Blade). Pamela Means "exhibits a rare emotional fire in today's folk world" (Seven Days, Burlington VT), so much so that Ani DiFranco exclaimed "You've got such a deep, deep ...

$32.85
Pop/rock quartet End of Fashion had already become superstars in their native Australia before testing American waters with their 2006 self-titled debut. A streamlined mix of garage rock and pop, the disc sets itself skillfully apart from the mainstream through simple but distinct choices in song architecture and instrumentation, reminiscent of alternative Britpop bands like the Stone Roses and Oasis. For instance, twinkling electronic chimes on the slow-dance "Seize the Day" and stop/start guitar work on the up-tempo "Anything Goes (Alan Moulder Remix)" inject otherwise conventional rock songs with extra layers of creative texture, making the music dynamic and complex without compromising accessibility. While straight-ahead rock is full of singers who do little more than shout on key, lead vocalist Justin Burford runs the gamut from raspy yowling to beautifully nuanced falsetto. He harnesses his highly expressive timbre with subtle control, using a strong vibrato to gracefully steer the musical moment from cathartic and evocative to opulent and carnival-esque. While Burford's versatile wail tends to steal focus, it remains integrated with rest of the band, particularly drummer Nick Jonsson's tight, less-is-more snare- and cymbal-heavy rhythm section. ...
