Rickie Lee Joni

[William Waddell]

<Once touted as the natural successor to Joni Mitchell, singer/songwriter
Rickie Lee Jones proved no less idiosyncratic or mercurial; like Mitchell,
Jones experienced significant commercial success at the outset of her
career, but a restless creative spirit - combined with a stubborn refusal to
fit comfortably into any one musical niche - sealed her ultimate destiny as
that of a highly-regarded cult heroine.>
So that's what Joni is - a cult.
