Few moments in music give me as much chills as that moment. If i’m listening while out I just have to stop and stand there until the groove kicks back in.

The drum sound on the opening two seconds of "Pirates" is phenomenal.

I've had a mix of We Belong Together, Living It Up, and Danny's All Star Joint running in my head for the past few days. It's a happy thing.

Found this pretty much by accident on YouTube, and still can't really believe it exists:

Yeah, really. It's incredible, all of it.Is it weird if I say I'd like to put these background vocals in every song ever? Just have a synthesizer that produces those Rickie Lee "ba-da baaa"s.

got Pirates on again and this is how i wish Weyes Blood or indeed anyone putting out LPs with this vibe nowadays sounded. where are my TRUE GANGSTA modern day rickie lee/jonis ???

i have just invented the indie band name RICKIE LEE JONI.don't steal it please. best new music here i come.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 17:55 (three years ago) link
What's going on with Rickie Lee's autobiography? It was supposed to come out several years ago but has beenrepeatedly delayed, and I think the title changed as well.

Traces Of The Western Slopes intro is so incredible. i've always thought of this LP as being an even-more-steely-dan Court & Spark - and this track hits that combined vibe the hardest.

Do you got a map to the next joint??

How did Skeletons only get 1 vote? I know We Belong Together is basically perfect but jesus, Skeletons is enough to destroy the best of us.

This album is truly all killer, no filler. Most of the songs can bring me to tears.

her voice still sounds like a million billion bucks and her band rules, see her if you can

She is opening here for Indigo Girls, I'd go just to see her.

I was thinking of picking up a compilation - from what I can tell, there's only one (a 3 CD set from Rhino), but why is it sequenced in alphabetical order? As a joke?
― birdistheword, Monday, 9 May 2022 20:03 (two years ago) link
Because she could?
FWIW, her debut and Pirates remain staples of cheapie vinyl bins, where nice copies can still be found for less than $5 a disc.

Yeah, but I mainly stick with digital and Pirates was reissued by MFSL on SACD some years ago. (Straight from the original master tapes. Sunds great.) Expensive now but I think I got it on clearance for like $15 and change.

Still so blown away by this album Every Time I put it onNo aspersions cast but what artist (aside from her) can make an album like this nowadays?
