A truly unique artist. Particularly her first three albums Rickie Lee Jones, Pirates and Magazine, I still play to this day, from beginning to end, one after the other. Not a bad track on any of them. Truly beautiful and unique artist.

Still gives me same chills as it did back in 78...and brings to mind the girl I had to love from a distance. It is so great to hear a singer that is better live than on recording...a rare talent, esp today.

I just have to add... I was born in 1970 yet about 6 years ago reopened my mind and stopped relying on familiarity. I found enlightenment because there is fantastic music being made in every main genre and now all these new categories and subgenres. I only wish I had infinite lifetimes to go back to listen to all I've heard before, trip the light back to so many decades past that I ignored and to revel in all the fantastical new. :-) it's taken me 49 years to stop being a music snob and to open my mind - and it's great!
@theresaamick51724 жыл бұрын
OMT to you both born in 69 and 52... The change from LPs to even 45s, then cassette singles...then mp3s really has changed everything. We used to buy albums but that in large part has morphed to a la carte picks... We used to put the record, 8 track or 78rpm on and didn't stop with one song. For me, in general, the one song I'd buy a album/CD for quickly or over time became my least favorite. I had a CD for 5 years that I'd play in a 5 disc changer and I'd program only the one song. Then one day I screwed up the numbers and discovered one of my favorite musicians of my life. It's just rare these days for ... I think ... most ppl to ever listen to discographies and hidden in them are some of the greatest songs... B-sides if you will.
