Legends: Rickie Lee Jones

She speaks softly, not unlike the way she sings --soft, soulful passages, almost like secrets to the closest of friends --punctuated by bursts of exaltation. It's much like the span of emotion in her work, and in her new record, Balm in Gilead, which veers from the pure, naked heartbreak of "Bonfires" to the elation of "Old Enough," to the beautiful "Wild Girl," which celebrates the 21st birthday of her daughter, while simultaneously reflecting on the unchained fervor of her own wild days.

Great show on Saturday. I got your ep the night before off of iTunes and I wanted to ask you how you go about composing your vocal parts? Did you study vox somewhere? It's really well done. Hit me back. I love big vocal stuff like that.

I think your last name should just be the sound of an echo. So when you play I will introduce you and make that sound if needed.
