Rickie Lee Jones: Rickie Lee Jones
Copy at Case Memorial Library
Contents: Chuck E.'s in love — On Saturday afternoons in 1963 — Night train — Young blood — Easy money — The Last Chance Texaco — Danny's all-star joint — Coolsville — Weasel and the white boys cool — Company — After hours (Twelve bars past goodnight).
Sample lyrics: "Every time, he don't stutter when he talk/ And it's true! it's true!/ He sure is acquired a cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walk. … Chuck E's in love."
Phil Ramone and Danielle Evin wrote in the Huffington Post: "Singer-songwriter and two-time Grammy winner Rickie Lee Jones was born in Chicago, one of four children. Jones has described her family as 'lower-middle-class-hillbilly-hipster.' She is reported to have been a solitary child with a deep imagination, whose father taught her to sing. When you listen to her, you have to turn off your cell phone, your BlackBerry, your iPhone, the TV, and listen, just listen. 'The Last Chance Texaco' is a gift. Her 1979 debut album, Rickie Lee Jones, produced by Lenny Waronker and Russ Titelman, is astounding" ("Dog Ears Music: Volume Seventeen," 4/11/08).
