"...(her
music is) the aural equivalent of painter Georgia
O'Keefe's most rigorous and beautiful canvases, Jones
stands alone in her commitment to exploring the always new world
of sound borne out of a profoundly original imagination."

HILTON ALS, The New Yorker Magazine
"I've
seen the future of rock n' roll, and it is Rickie Lee Jones. Breathtaking
and brilliant, her music evokes comparisons as diverse as John Cage
and Booker T. Jones, Meat Beat Manifesto and John Lennon."

BRAD
KAYA (Mercury News)
"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 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."

TIM MORSE (Mix Magazine)
"Rickie
Lee Jones...a shaman disguised as pop artist. She flies like a circus
aerialist...I know there's something really important about what
she's doing that goes beyond the whole show biz thing. It's the
authenticity. She's the real thing, you know, and that's what I
will remember long after the circus leaves town."
