I haven't met too many people who like Rickie Lee Jones, but I love her music- its eclectic style appeals to the places and parts of me that other music can't seem to reach.
Playing now: "It Must Be Love" from Magazine but playing from my Melancholy Mama list on iTunes.
Other songs on the list:
Wonderful, Annie Lennox
Honestly, Cary Brothers
The Scientist, Coldplay
In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel
Downtown Lights, Annie Lennox
Forgiveness, Mason Jennings
Thin Line Betwee Love and Hate, Annie Lennox
Amsterdam, Coldplay
Almost Blue, Diana Krall
I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You, Colin Hay
Strange Religion, Mark Lanegan
If I Laugh, Cat Stevens
I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You, Tom Waits
Spinning, Zero 7
HMMMM.... any relation to Tommy Lee???
Posted by: Amy Jo at March 4, 2005 12:36 AMI love RLJ! I have had her albums since the early 80s. I confess to loving the obvious ones: We Belong Together and Lucky Guy as well.
Posted by: Greg at March 4, 2005 01:29 AMi had RLJ's album (with Chuck E's in Love) until I stopped having albums! She was great! And let's not forget other female "crooners" Phoebe Snow, Susan Werner, Roberta Flack and Karen Carpenter, to name a few.
Posted by: David at March 4, 2005 01:55 AMAmy- No. Not all.
I was introduced to RLJ by my mother. I used to stand in front of the fireplace and lipsync all her songs.
R always teases and asks why I am depressed when he finds me listening to her..
Oh my- Phoebe Snow and Joni Mitchell, Carole King, early Linda Ronstadt all make me feel like it's 1975 in the heat of an Oklahoma summer.

I just have to add this new gem to this list. I never heard of her before today (found her on a MacAddict disc). Her faith is expressed in this free download (here)--and you can find her songs in the iTunes Music store, too.
What an absolutely pure voice. Listen to the great vocal and her own guitar work in Fall to Fly.
She reminds me at once of Sarah McLachlin and Susan Werner (my favoritie song of Susan's is Much at All, a poignantly sarcastic lamenting of a vanished lover: "never cared that much for basketball; I seem to get along without the new New Yorker; I guess that I don't miss you Much at All"
YEAAAAHHH! I love Rickie Lee Jones!
Dow-OWN at Danny's All-Star Joint they got a jukebox that goes doit DOIT!
And, of course, Chuck E's in Love (not to be confused with that pizza schlepping mouse).
:)
Wooot! You love Rickie Lee! Rock awn!
Posted by: Margi at March 5, 2005 03:23 PMExcellent audio, there Margi :D
Gosh, I thought my love of her music was a solitary thing...
:D
Thanks for the links, David. I will check them out.
Rae,
After picking up and listening to Garden State - on your recommendation, you would probably like one of my favorite bands, Over the Rhine. They have one of my fave songs ever called All I Want is Everything. Also, are you into Sam Phillips? Pdub
