Rickie Lee Jones<\/a>: Danny’s All-Star Joint<\/strong> (1979)<\/p>\n

\"RickieA good song, from an excellent first album – the self titled Rickie Lee Jones<\/em> – positioned at the crossroad between Jazz, Country, Blues and Pop. The same crossroad where Tom Waits was, at the beginning of his career. In fact the two were briefly associated: it’s a sad story, that you can find on Jones’ Wikipedia page<\/a>. in fact, Jones and Waits were supposed to do a film soundtrack together (but then he did it with someone else<\/a> – I told you it was a sad story).<\/p>\n

When the Rickie Lee Jones<\/a> LP came out in ’79, it was instantly clear she was different: she had a unique style in writing and performing, very sophisticated yet immediate, infectious and fun. The videoclip (set in a bar, btw) for Chuck E.’s in love<\/a>, the huge hit single from this album, instantly made me fall in love with her: she was great, fun and absolutely lovable.<\/p>\n
