From Amazon.com
Time was when Rickie Lee Jones and Tom Waits were fellow travelers with a shared neo-boho, singer-songwriter style, the self-conscious musical equivalent of characters from an Edward Hopper tableau. But unlike Waits, who got in touch with his inner Beefheart and embraced a more avant-garde approach, Jones has largely stayed the cocktail crooner course, refining her melodic sensibility and continuing to inject generous doses of folk, jazz, R&B, and world music influences into her itinerant hipster shtick. (Strains of reggae, zydeco, and Dixieland, along with a vocal assist from Lyle Lovett, find their way into this album's version of "Love Is Gonna Bring Us Back Alive.") Compared to Naked Songs, her 1994 plunge into the realm of the unplugged, this live outing is more representative of the full range of Jones's strengths, with gloriously polished yet vital renditions of favorites such as "Rodeo Girl," "Satellites," "Coolsville," and the obligatory "Chuck E.'s in Love." Along the way, Jones serves up memorable covers of "Gloria" and "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying," dispenses onstage parental advice, and, inspired by exceptional vocal and instrumental arrangements throughout, generally sings up a storm. Like Joni Mitchell before her and Sophie B. Hawkins after, Jones may no longer be the commercial flavor of the month, but this live recording serves as an engaging testament to her steadfast artistry. --Bill Forman
Chronique amazon.fr
Nouveau live pour Rickie Lee Jones (après l'initiative acoustique et solitaire Naked Song), la dame qui entama sa carrière allongée sous Tom Waits sur la pochette du sublime Blue Valentine. Débarrassée de son mentor, l'Américaine au célèbre béret rouge et au cigarillo coquin, illuminait l'année 1979 avec un album éponyme aux chansons sensuelles et poignantes. Quatre des 12 chansons de ce Live at Red Rocks sont d'ailleurs issues de cette session. Loin des sophistications ampoulées qui gâchent parfois les chroniques subtiles de la chanteuse, seule une trompette bouchée et quelques mandolines enjolivent l'ordinaire piano-guitare-harmonica de cet exercice en public. En compagnie du fidèle Sal Bernardi (le héros de "Weasel and the White Boys Cool") et de quelques invités triés sur le volet dont Lyle Lovett, Rickie Lee Jones revisite son répertoire folk, jazz et R&B de sa voix de gamine essayant d'imiter Billie Holiday. Ce onzième album, aux titres majoritairement extraits de Flying Cowboys (1989) se clôt sur une reprise du classique de Van Morrison "Gloria", loin de la version hallucinée de Patti Smith. --Sabrina Silamo
