A week or so ago someone mention the beauty of the album "Pirates." I loved that album when it came out. It's one of my favorites yet I never replaced it when I went over to cd's. Got a gift certficate to border's and bought it and love hearing it again. Ricki Lee Jones is a real talent and I love the way she sings on "Pirates", not a bad song on it. Is it as good as Joni-yes- I have to be honest. I remember RLJ used to be compared a lot to Joni and she hated it though I would have been greatly flattered if it was me. Maybe she didn't want to be seen as a copycat. Both women have that jazzy style and blond hair and berets. Both are great talents and I have to say I love "Pirates" and it's up there with "Hejira" and "Hissing of the Summer Lawns." Maureen Oh, and thank you to the person who put the bug in my ear.
