Acclaim for Rickie Lee Jones: “Jones started out, known for wearing battered stiletto heels and a beret with a guitar slung over her shoulder, her slurred pronunciation of certain distinctive phrases, such as ‘livin'it up,’ part of her distinctive singing syntax, Jones was like no one anyone had ever seen before; a funky runaway who had managed to keep her innocence even as she lived, as she put it, ‘on the jazz side of life.’" - Hilton Als, The New Yorker; “She’s so fearless and completely unselfconscious – one of our most original artists.” Emmylou Harris.

      first, the Carolina theatre is a beautiful venue to see live artists, but it won't be around much longer if last night's turnout was an indication of what's to come. Many empty seats. No opening act, Rickie Lee sang less than two hrs, no intermission, and no encore. When the lights came up after she left the stage the entire audience was puzzled. Back in the day, Rickie and Tom were the king and queen of Coolsville. Singing a few of her old tunes, she still has the pipes. A few of her new tunes were good, but Rickie seems to still be doing the good stuff. A little out there for me. Her band was excellent. Few stumbles, since it is the first date on the tour. Her demeanor and talking with the audience between songs was relaxed and easy. The audience, a little older and respectful. Suprisingly, she didn't sing her signature song, Chuck E.s in love. All in all, a disappointing show. Not worth the $40 ticket. Next time go to the Cradle in Carrboro for twice the music. Collapse
