This is from a tour we all did in Europe together with Rickie, who is one of the best singer songwriters out there, in my humble opinion. The band was Michael Ruff (key/voc), Reggie McBride (bass), Arno Lucas (perc/voc). Artie Rodriguez (dr), Richard Elliot (sax) and myself (gtr), Jeff Pevar.
Thanks for all the great music, Rickie. We love you!
JP

Totally infectious. The whole band cooks, RL sings like a horn player plays and Jeff Pevar completely blows up the solo. Great stuff still slaps decades later.

Been a fan of her's for over 20 years. Sometimes can't understand a word she's singin but she's got so much soul and surrounded by the hottest players in the biz, it's great.

When I tried to explain to my mother the music that did it for me- this back in the 80a, I played a cassette for her. She said 'She sounds like she has marbles in her mouth.' I just said 'Lucky marbles! ' She is an all time favorite.

JP I totally agree with you! I saw her at the Paramount in Seattle in like 1979. And her family was there! She is from Olympia, a town about 60 miles or so from Seattle (I am from Tacoma... T-town). Which meant it was one kickass show!! Oh! I can't convey how turned on, electric, passionate, oozing dynamic hipness, beautiful, center of the whole effin universe! she was that night! It was so sweet, she was like laughing and embarrassed almost, that her mama was seeing her be this famous, sultry singer star! It was too too cool!! I have seen in the 1970's the Grateful Dead, Santana, Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Starship, among many, many others. And I can say that Rickie Lee's was one of the BEST shows I saw back then!

darkmaitri I'm a big Rickie Lee Jones lover, I've been playing her since I was 15 years old... Rickie, indeed... I'm an LA teen, who grew up really too fast... Rickie unknowingly wrote about people I mixed with in the motel rooms and in the streets of LA. Much like her songs, but, that came from her own experiences, and oddly "WEST SIDE STORY"... She captivated me, and made me cry with her debut album and from then on... Rickie's an artist's artist!! She's genius, her musicality comes from a very deep place. I'm grateful to have caught the ride from 1979. When I first heard the single on the radio of "Chuck E's In Love", I said "Oh God, she was what was missing!" I'm 54 years old now. I really think the recording industry ripped her off.. I'm from the big City of Angels... Where every music buff owned at least the Debut and "Pirates", and then the diehards like me bought them all... Oh well.... Just felt like sharing. Her voice pierces with a beautiful cry in it. Then creeps in a window like an innapropriate voyeur, listening to a mother settling a child down with a lullaluby. Or a woman singing softly to her lover... The writing is so unique. We used to drive to Palm Springs CA and listen to "Flying Cowboys"... It was a perfect soundtrack. I saw her at the Wiltern Theater at the time of the "Flying Cowboys" album. A couple was entertaining a Chinese couple, on their two week business trip. They had only heard "Chuck E's In Love". And loved it from 10 years before, but nothing else from Rickie. Both, the Chinese husband and wife were in tears. They were blown away by Rickie's artistry. They were wiping the tears from their eyes, after her show completed, and they said, "How come her music isn't being played on American radio, it's so beautiful!!!" As if saying what is being played on American radio was sub-par. The 80's.... Me and my friends just looked at each other. Because we had once asked ourselves that question long ago...

Absolute treasure, indeed. I was at this concert, having met Rickie's music some four years earlier. And boy... how my cassette got tortured in the player, think I listened to it until it gave up by having the tape looping around capstan and pulleys !!! Then came the opportunity of a (finally !!!) live concert. Grabbed my sparse cash, did some hitch-hiking or train ride (can't remember) and made it to Paris... after all these years away from the capital. I got hypnotized from note n°1, couldn't let go til the concert's end. Only to come out of the place in tears. You've been a lucky man (and that's no accident, you deserve it [I'm a stage performer too by now]) Mr. Pevar to go along with her. If ever possible, tell her how much that little French guy loves her... and he couldn't make it to Enghien last July (out of surgery), so... he's hoping for another chance. PS : I also attended her live performance at the Bobino theatre in Paris (2009, 2010 ?), great gig and outstanding music, awful sound from console/FOH... making for hilarious moments !

Saw her at Humphreys By The Bay in San Diego. My mouth was open in awe but, for the first time in my life, I was speechless! She called my husband, "babydoll." She was the best entertainer! Have loved her since I first saw her on SNL when I was 17...40 yrs ago..yikes! Time flies

My friend and I saw her in Newark Ohio last October. Amazing performance! I was working as a manager in a grocery store and heard Satellites and the Real End thinking, who is this? The same friend at Lowe's heard the same songs and wondered about the artist. The Real End came on one day and I stood on a chair in the office to stick my ear to the speaker to get some words to google. The words were "make him some catfish, fry it up in bed." Thus we discovered Rickie Lee Jones in 2003.
