Rickie Lee Jones: New album / streaming live Thursday night / Carnegie Hall in December
Rickie Lee Jones is currently playing up and down the east coast, then is off to Europe.
A Connecticut show tomorrow — Thursday Oct 29 — will be streamed at 8pm Eastern at www.mvyradio.com.
Her new album — BALM in GILEAD — was completed this past summer and is now available at discount on Great Big Island.
And December 7 — she’s at Carnegie Hall!
She was there years ago — around the time of POP POP! — and was it sweet and swell.
ed says:
The times bring to mind another visit she made to New York. Beacon Theater, I think it was. With her Chain Austin road gang.
I was just back in town from overseas, that day, and found a ticket on the fly, looking forward to some peace of mind, but instead … had my mind blown.
But the front rows were filled with swells trying to look casual in $300 loafters, legs crossed, and women in suits waiting for “Company,” perplexed, inconvenienced, intelligence insulted … Comped corporate clients in the wrong taxi !
Can buy the linked tune — White Girl — on a disk called CHAIN AUSTIN LIVE — at Great Big Island.
And she writes about Rick Boston, who helped make Chain Austin happen — and then collaborated on the masterpiece GHOSTYHEAD.
