Being an RLJ besides a Joni fan, I thought I'd clarify a few release dates of Rickie's.
Girl at her volcano was released in 1983. It consists of some live performances of standards, a few choice covers, and an original song "Hey bub" that was initially written for her 1981 album "Pirates". In 1991, Rickie released Pop Pop, an acoustic album of standards. What set Pop Pop apart was that as opposed to a piano and orchestra, Rickie primarily used guitar and stand up bass with a few instruments to augment that. In 2000, Rickie released It's Like this, an album of cover tunes of everything from Smile to Trouble Man by Marvin Gaye. As well, on her website http://www.rickieleejones.com she has a number of live albums available that are only available from her website. On one of these albums, from a set in fall of 99 at Joe's Pub in NYC, she is tackling mostly standards (with an original song or two) Thought I would add in my two cents worth, James Phillips NP Susaye Greene - No Fear Here "We come to the river, we'll walk away from all this now, We come to the water, we'll walk away from all this now" Rickie Lee Jones "Flying Cowboys" http://www.geocities.com/thebleachboi/home.html ------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up for ICQmail at http://www.icq.com/icqmail/signup.html
