Jones, Rickie Lee - Rickie Lee Jones

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON 1979

WB K 56 628 made in Germany.

Vinyl VG+. Cover VG+.

With her expressive soprano voice employing sudden alterations of volume and force, and her lyrical focus on Los Angeles street life, Rickie Lee Jones comes on like the love child of Laura Nyro and Tom Waits on her self-titled debut album. Given the population of colorful characters who may or may not be real people that populate her songs -- Chuck E., Bragger, Kid Sinister, and others -- she also might have had Bruce Springsteen in her bloodline (that is, the Springsteen of his first two albums), and her jazzbo sensibility suggests Mose Allison as a grandfather. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickie_Lee_Jones
