Rickie Lee Jones - Flying Cowboys special - part 1 of 3

[PInk77W1]

in '81or '82 she came out with an album. my next door neighbor was playing it one sunny morning. i sat on her door step and listened. my neighbor had to go do some errands. she told me when u get done listening just turn off the tape player and lock the door. she came home about 4hrs later and i was still listening!!! she just shook her head.

Thanks so much for posting this gem...much appreciated..."Flying Cowboys" is one of Rickie's best...truly a masterpiece.

[dannlynch]

Flying Cowboys is a true masterpiece. Ghetto of My Mind could not be more creative if she tried. unreal. amazing!!

[FRANCECHILD]

THE LORD BLESSES US ALL. AMEN.

[JoeGancher]

Pity she won't get back to her roots but I guess one can say that about many other artists too. These tunes come from her prime and I'll scratch my head "why" every time I hear her new stuff.

[BerryRight]

Where is part 2??

[postingoldtapes]

@BerryRight Ask the record company. They blocked it.

I'll Walk With You. God Bless You And Your Family.

Did Ricky Lee Jones have a drug problem?

[Putaspellonyou]

@yokohlman i agree, she is teetering on stevie nicks territory here. little bit o' klonpin?

[AshintoSan]

This wasn't my favourite one of her albums but yeah she really, really is such an extremley extraordinary & rare singer, writer, musician & componist.... some of her songs will stay a lifelong with me... so thanks a thousand times for posting this !!!!

[Michele1j]

she is genuis..

[BWFSabian]

People tell me she's a bit ugly.. I don't see it.. Maybe I'm in love, with her, just like Tom. I'd say she could take me home the silly girl..

[RoverMN5110]

I am 69 and haven't seen RLJ live. Life is a bitch

[BWFSabian]

Me neither at 45.. Still, I haven't seen most of my heroes and I think disappointment has been avoided by that fact.. Fair call that RLJ would be fanfuckintastic though..

Ecellent! what is the song at the end about the sun? that sounds lovely.(new found fan)x

[iremon]

It's "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying", a cover of an old 60's song by Gerry and the Pacemakers - not to be confused by an even older song of the same name by Ray Charles.

What happened to part 2 of the interview?

[postingoldtapes]

Record company. Never mind that this is not available for sale anywhere, that have to make assert their copyright.

[xOnEsUgArx]

hi,u saved me some time,thx.. could u tell me more about the vocals by RLJ, wereon an Orbital song about "little fluffy clouds" i loved it back in the late 80s/early 90s,and was she part of it or not?? i know its definatley her.....pls id love to know xx

[graemeh]

it was The Orb not Orbital

the sample was used without her permission, they settled out of court as i recall, got it on a complilation CD somewhere - havent heard it in ages

[xOnEsUgArx]

thank you, its seems then i wont be able to get the the song though, shame. ..

[xOnEsUgArx]

hi just had a listen of that song (by gerry marsden). v nice, Rikies would of been a great version to release eh?!!

[lking519]

iremon, if you find the second part of the interview, would you PLEASE email me and let me know where to find it. I'm like you, I have part 1 and 3 but can't find the part 2. I've been a Rickie Lee fan since her Chuck E days, and I'm dying to get the complete set of such a great interview special.

[dannlynch]

@xOnEsUgArx It's the only cover song on the album...'Don't let the sun catch you crying'. :O)

[BERSERKERpoetry]

The difference between her lack of confidence talking and her singing power is fascinating. I love it.

[dunawayfan]

I love this woman-this caring spirit..She brings the beauty out in everything..May free souls like her be with mankind allways..

[palfootfoot]

Oh, boy, I watched this over and over when it was aired on that channel you mention, and never thought I'd see it again! Thank you for posting this!!

[bpted]

Thanks for this! Fantastic! I first saw her on the Flying Cowboys tour and it's still my favorite RLJ record. I'm also a documentary freak, so this is teh best!

[postingoldtapes]

Cool, glad I made it available.

[mikebtko]

one of the most gifted artists in music...

[may2606]

thanks very much for uploading this - I'd never realised it existed. Rickie Lee Jones is so underrated, she's really one of the best songwriters of the modern rock era

[m5x8s3wl]

How wonderful to recognize this rare talent!

[nichaeloz]

God bless beautiful people like you (postingoldtapes) who put these long lost gems on Youtube which enables many souls to bask in the bliss of Rickie's music; plus the added bonus of her talking about the background to these creations of such wondrous music and lyrics.

[dunawayfan]

YES-Bless you Postinggoldtapes for sharing the gold that is R.L.J..
