I always loved Rikki Lee Jones.

When did you find your poetry was most best expressed in a song 🎵 such as last chance Texaco. This song as a 65 year old I feel the sadness of the need for gas and the price the world paid for the American oligarchs greed in collusion to overthrow the middle east...sad but true end the waron Gaza. 2 state solution, 1967 border. Yes, as Cat Steven's sings, Morning 🌄 has broken... and we gave a new day. and their ever present

I have loved RLJ since the self titled album with the song, “Last Chance Texaco”. As a songwriter/singer myself , that was one of my favorites because of the clever lyrics, the smooth melody and Rickie Lee’s sultry, sultry vocal immersion.

Love this😎RLJ 💗

Thanks Rickie

Rickie is an American original, such a brilliant mind and creative artist. I hope she gets back on the road once COVID finally fades into the background. Her work deserves to be more widely know by a broader audience. Can't wait to read her book.

I'm reading this book at the moment. I love the language she uses, and the descriptions of her relationships, and the FEELING of the pain that Rickie Lee often brings to the book. She she writes her book like she writes her songs . It's unpretentious and natural. At the same time as reading, i am re-familiarizing myself with Rickie Lee's music. I was led back to her again via my love for the music of Laura Nyro, and by the way, i LOVED the tribute Rickie Lee pays to Laura Nyro in the book. Just as significantly, I saw Rickie Lee on a Sky Arts TV program recently here in the UK, and fell right back into her story. Congratulations on a great read Rickie Lee. and thank you for your music.

Rickie Lee Jones extraordinary artist and very kind,interesting and wise person.Tomorrow is good sunday and i'm going to pull out a lot of her albums to play.Her music is Often so beautiful that it Will reduce me to tears

I've been a superfan since discovering her in my teens in the 80's. Have seen Rickie-Lee twice in concert in Australia, this interview is just fabulous. She's fabulous! I found Girl at her Volcano on tape in a 2nd hand book/record shop. I was already a fan from her first album but LOVED Volcano. Every time Daryl Brathwaite sings Horses, I die a little and hope Rickie gets her royalties. I have a story seeing Rickie-Lee at the Enmore Theatre Sydney, would have been around 1989. She came out in a pink pinafore which was very uncool attire for someone as cool as she but fitting for the 80's. She was playing Coolsville on a grand piano and someone's mobile phone rang. Mobile phones were not common in the 80's, she kept playing but stopped singing and looked at the crowd and said ever so slowly, "is that the phone man? is it for me?" Pink pinafore faded away as it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen as a 17 year old fan.

My girlfriend Erin took me to see Southern rocker John Prine ...make me an angel in Montgomery at the Denver Paramount theater. Really sweet

Her escape through music as a kid was my experience through her music as a kid thanks Ricky love Chuck ☎

Great art 🎨 is a teacher yes. Viseral with the understanding of where zi am going...always working?

love her reading her story.

Amazing truth.

I'm almost finished with Rickie's book. It's wonderful and beautiful. I'm reading the last pages slowly - to not let it finish for me - too soon.

RLJ has my favorite melancholy line from a song: "We should move to the west side, they still believe in things." (Skeletons)

Mick and Tina complemented each other in a very real way.

wonderful

Thanks the fans being fierce comment...I feel your personal spirituality is a universal inspiration. I know listening to you and Tom Waits reading Carlos Castenada and studying Quantum theory and Richard Feynman Astrophysicist...I was chuckie in my mind.

great interview, Wesley & Rickie

great interviewer.ty.

I've ordered the book, by the way I shook Frances Ford Capollas dads' hand, it's a long story.

I imagine sound vibrations might be the key to unlocking the multiverse of possibilities.. Although that is a nonpaying endeavor

Enjoying the book.

Just a wierd comment on picking a dvd to watch tonight; Nell the film with Academy Award Nomination for best actress... 24:40 Jodie Foster and Liam Neeson...or a Wonderful Life with James Stewart ....

Van Morrison Astral Weeks is Awesome 😆

Chucky is in ❤️ love. More popular than last chance texaco.that is understandable

Dutchess of Coolville, just saying 💯 Cheers

at 43:12 you can hear the train whistle.Rickie lives by the RR tracks in New Orleans.I grew up on a dead-end st.by the RR tracks.

When will you have another concert/gig in New Orleans?

im reading the book and its really good. im a big fan and have been for years. pirates is a masterpiece. unfortunately I met her once in Austin tx and she was a horrible person. so if you get a chance to meet her don't..

The origins of last chance texaco...end of the Saudi-American Petrodollar in 2026?

American exceptionalism can be o.k. but what about the colonialism bull crap?
