Rickie Lee Jones and Rosanne Cash Live in Concert

Recorded live, October 25, 2009 at World Cafe Live and WXPN Studios,
here's a live concert from Rickie Lee Jones.

Jones' sound has evolved through R&B, jazz, folk, electronica and rock. Jones burst onto the music scene with her self-titled 1979 debut — which included guest appearances by Dr. John, Randy Newman and Michael McDonald — and then promptly won a Grammy for Best New Artist. After moving to New York City, Jones continued to release albums throughout the '80s and '90s, fueled by the turmoil taking place in her life at that time: heartbreak, drug addiction and political upheaval. Then, following the release of 1997's Ghostyhead, writer's block set in.

Jones credits the election of George W. Bush with re-igniting her artistic fire, and she set to work on her first album of new, original material in six years. The Evening of My Best Day came out in 2003, and was followed in 2007 by Sermon on Exposition Boulevard.

Jones is currently on tour promoting her new album Balk in Gilead scheduled for release on November 10, 2009 on the Fantasy label.

"This highly anticipated new release features all-new material by the highly regarded and 2-time Grammy Award winning cult heroine Rickie Lee Jones. Includes guest artists Allison Krauss, Ben Harper, Victoria Williams, Bill Frisell, Jon Brion and Vic Chestnut!" Amazon.com Review
