I'm rediscovering this amazing woman. More than wow.I don t care about her time with tom whatever .I dont know her private life, dont give a shit. all I know is she's remarkable I'm in love all over again.Thank you for posting these great videos.If you're on this site,it must be because you feel like I do.
Ran into RLJ as i fully intended at a Shoreline Grateful Dead show at the height of their tour days 89-91, Rickey was performing on one of the 3stages that day and went just knowing somehow i would get the chance to meet her to tell her how special her music was . Walking about there came this small trenchcoated waif ith guitar in tow wending her way thru the crush unnoticed by the deaheads as she went . Signalled her to stop , spoke softly to her & got the chance there to say thank you girl!
Oh PLEASE, can some kind person post ALL Ricki Lee Jone's ALBUMS...saw her in Melbourne, with Rob Wasserman, both brilliant, but 'live' doesn't 'translate' when it's Not Live, and I can't afford to keep replacing all my 'played to death', vinyl, and stolen R.L.J.
.......ahhhh going to start searching out a vid that has no retarded ad in the bgnng so I can actually enjoy the song I wanted to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Rickie Lee Jones sings, we hear the unfiltered pain and joy that she so evidently knows well. And it is expressed so perfectly that one can't help but bleed a little right along with her.
@miuzu2u I have listened to Rickie Lee since her debut. I think is was about 15 then, I know her story, & I love her all the more for it. I have all of & her music, always have had...her pain, suffering, blood sweat & tears, got me through my own...pain/suffering/blood/sweat/tears.
re: Thirty Years -- I still choose to drink from my past -- torn and bloody, yeah -- but Wisdom always comes with a price -- well written, my friend --
Those lines, that harmony, simple beauty, sung personally. Learned a lot about music and poetry from RL. She's more honest than I can be. Rickie Lee Sweet is right.
Flying Cowboys was the last good album she made - wtf happended next? RLJ died with the eighties. From there on there were just bad cover after bad cover. Drugs, alcohol and religion ruined her. Still her first 4 albums are classic and will hopefully always find an audience.
my she is simply brilliant... amazing entertainer... so unique and fresh... even as she aged... she stayed "real" and "herself" it seems... she always had something deep and interesting to say
Rickie Lee Jones, how great it is to have respectable women like her in the music field. She's so cool. Love that guitar, those country-like single string notes.
when pirates came out in 81. my nieghbor got it. she let me sit on her step and listen to it as she went to do errands. she said when i was done to lock the door. she came home about 4hrs later and i was still listening. she just shock her head and said i was wacked.
@Huntersolson420 I don't really care. I don't want her to be simplified into a vehicle for some invisible fictional man's speech. Her and other artists are, to me, much more important than any perceived god because they're the ones actually saying something.
@nicck shit, too! at this very moment their is a sculptor had at work chiseling my likeness out of a slab for all to bow down and worship for a thousand years and then some. I Have Spoken!
Oh my god, it's VEVO!! OUCH! What have they done to this video? It's all out of sync & looked much better when originally on You Tube. . . before the "takeover" began.
She's so talented & soulful. The lyrics are brilliant.

Thirty Years
One day you wake up
talking about your dreams
then some reminds you
that over thirty years have past
and you are still holding on
to the wine in the glass
poured over thirty years ago

miles, you never know what history decides matters.
who would imagine the Doors would ever be discussed,
or that sinatra would be less known that tony bennett.
jones had a great impace on her time, and how people sing, and
while people are not often acknowledged in their time, especially if thier
work is not contemporary, later they are understood. ,
but yes, who cares, when she's dead, people talking about her or not,
she will still be as dead as anyone Ceasar.
