Man, Rickie Lee Jones is awesome.

Seriously.

1. Yes. Yes she is.

Anything is particular set you off, or just in general? :hi:

2. I was feeling tired and a bit crappy this morning, and I put on her self-titled

album, and I just felt better. :) I defy you to listen to "Chuck E's In Love" and not tap your toes and get a little smile on your face. That whole album is great.

:hi:

5. That is a great album. I haven't listened to it in years.

Dow-ow-own stairs in Danny's All Star joint, they got a juke box that goes doit-doit. :D

Tom Scott was one of my favorite sidemen back in the 70s/80s. He was everywhere.

3. She was the Amy Winehouse of my generation.

4. Except talented.

6. ..

:spray: + :D:thumbsup:

7. Amy Winehouse is talented; it's just that she's also screwed up as hell.

I recall Ricky Lee Jones being into drugs in her time as well.

[Phillycat]

8. We'll have to agree to disagree.

I think Amy Winehouse tries really hard to be something she's not. Rickie Lee Jones WAS what she was.

And yeah, they were/are both screwed up on drugs. But Jones at least had the good taste to be involved with Tom Waits, rather than that waste of skin Amy Winehouse is with.
