I wanted the vinyl album when Rikki Lee arrived on the scene in 1979 but never got it. "Chuck E.'s in Love" got so much airplay back then I got tired of that song but never heard the entire L.P. until years later...then I really wanted it! A month ago I got this C.D. It's one of the best I've ever heard. "Danny's All-Star Joint" is so upbeat you can't help but snap your fingers & sing along, and "Last Chance Texaco" is an awesome song written & performed by an awesome artist. Yes, her first work and I agree, probably her best! Love this C.D.!
I've been told there was an alternate digitzation of this album on the RCA music club pressing. Cannot confirm. The West German and US pressings are identical. The Album Itself No, this is not Norah Jones, that's a knock-off. If you didn't know that this was recorded in 1979, you would probably think it was recorded yesterday. It's jazz-pop blues, a style that formed out of disco and funk of the 1970's. A cigar smoking female that sings jazz music, whose sound was meant to target the same audience as Valerie Carter, Randy Crawford, and the Crusaders. If you like blues music, this one is for you. You may also be looking for the pop chart hit Chuck E's in Love. I would best describe her performance as a combination of Diana Krall and Norah Jones. Or more like those were created from her. Anyway, this one sounds as good on CD as the LP record, though a clean first pressing might make a good test record for your high-fi system.Read full review
The seller did everything right from listing display and descriptions, shipping, packing, communicating. About Rickie Lee Jones, I had forgotten how much I used to enjoy her sultry style. It had been perhaps a couple decades since I had listened to her and now I am hooked all over again.
