I was being dim, apologies. RLJ has a knack for interesting covers (Bad Company on her new album!). On this album she is assisted by some interesting names. It doesn't necessarily make it any more Jazz than her other albums. I suspect she's a marmite artist. I'm a big fan.
Rickie Lee Jones - Pop Pop [Geffen, 1991]
featuring Dino Saluzzi, Charlie Haden, Joe Henderson ao. Always loved this album, paid £8.29 back in 1991 according to the till receipt
Preceded by
Girl At Her Volcano [Warner Bros., 1983]
a stroll down memory lane inspired by a fantastic 'with strings' broadcast by BBC yesterday.
He has written some great (and a fair few less great) songs. Always preferred his soul man musical persona over the guitar rock-god one. He certainly deserves his position in the UK pantheon
Paul Weller - Live at The Barbican. Songs arranged by Jules Buckley for the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
This really hits the spot. Buckley's arrangements suit Weller's songs and voice perfectly.
