Once touted as the natural successor to Joni Mitchell, singer/songwriter Rickie Lee Jones proved no less idiosyncratic or mercurial; like Mitchell, Jones experienced significant commercial success at the outset of her career, but a restless creative spirit — combined with a stubborn refusal to fit comfortably into any one musical niche — sealed her ultimate destiny as that of a highly regarded cult heroine.
Jones was born on November 8, 1954, in Chicago, but the volatile relationship between her mother and father resulted in an upbringing that led her everywhere from Phoenix, AZ, to Olympia, WA, where an expulsion ended her school career. As a teen, Jones began drinking heavily, and eventually she left home and began drifting up and down the West Coast before settling in Los Angeles in the mid-’70s. There she worked a series of waitressing jobs while occasionally performing in area clubs, where she sang and honed her unique, Beat-influenced spoken word monologues. She also began a relationship with fellow boho Tom Waits.
Her first measure of success was as a songwriter; after her friend Ivan Ulz sang Jones’ composition “Easy Money” over the phone to Lowell George, the ex-Little Feat frontman included it on his album Thanks I’ll Eat It Here.

She picked up all the right influences, didn't she, in her haunts? Blues, R&B, soul, folk, she's got them all in her work.

I am appreciating her other songs other than Chucky's in Love. You can't beat that little ditty. She sings with soul and heart. Where is she now?

Strange how 'On Saturday Afternoons in 1963', a tender little meditation on being a kid and learning to stop time has reached double the listens of her second most popular song on last.fm. It was not, as you can imagine, a hit in '79 (obviously the song's new-found success is due to its unlikely appearance on season 1 of a certain small screen medical drama), but it did come out as a single back in the day - on the B-side of Chuck E.'s in Love!

I just saw Rickie in Seattle over the weekend at The Triple Door. She was terrific. Her voice sounds better than ever. Rickie's still making beautiful music. Check out the new album - it's some of her best work.
