"...she
is an ageless elder poet, Anne Sexton with a low-slung Gibson spinning
tales of flightless birds and cabalistic maps. And then, with her dirty
giggle, she's the eternal Younger Sister - the one who dyed her hair purple
before her time, or put obscene angels on the Christmas tree. Equal parts
frustrating and unfeasibly sublime. There is really no one like her."

| "Her
music is the aural equivalent of painter Georgia O'Keefe's most rigorous
and beautiful canvases," writes Hilton Als in The NEW YORKER magazine. |
|
| Tim
Morse, of Mix Magazine, put it this way: "In the spring of 1979, Rickie Lee Jones' first album appeared like an oasis in a desert of disco. and arena rock. She sang with passionate honesty, delving into places deep inside herself, and. using a beat poet's vocabulary, she populated her songs with heartfelt vignettes of colorful. characters. Her music was a melting pot of her many influences. Blues, country, folk, jazz, soul. and show tunes were seamlessly blended together by the cream of L.A.'s studio musicians on her. exquisitely crafted songs." |
