From her 1979 debut onward, Rickie Lee Jones has showed her originality, mixing beatnik-based poetic sensibilities with R&B, jazz, folk, and pop. While her records have met varying degrees of commercial success, she can be fearlessly inventive, and she moved through the '90s embracing hip-hop and studio experimentation.

Recorded at Warner Brothers Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California and Burbank Studios, Burbank, California.

In 1979, the inimitable Rickie Lee Jones emerged with her self-titled debut, which won her a Best New Artist Grammy, and her career was off and running. What makes Jones stand out in the crowd is her ability to gracefully combine various styles of music without creating a self-conscious hodge-podge. On this album (and throughout her career), She creates an amalgam of various influences, including funk, jazz, folk, and country music.

A born storyteller, Jones marks each song on this debut with her ability to weave an intriguing tale and craft a great melody. The opening track, "Chuck E.'s in Love" was the album's hit, and is clearly reminiscent of Steely Dan's work. (She would later collaborate with Steely Dan's Walter Becker.) But just when you think you've got Jones labeled, she offers up "Easy Money," an organic and delicate country-swing tune. Other songs, particularly "Coolsville," show Jones's introspective, melancholic side and give great depth to what remains one of her best albums.
