can i play too? ok, let's see...
1. rickie lee jones, its like this
2. madonna, music
3. emmy lou harris, red dirt girl
4. sarah harmer, you were here
5. paul simon's you're the one (getting it tomorrow!)
the top of the heap, in my ever so humble opinion is my former namesake,
rickielee. soon to be displaced by one of my music gods, monsieur simon, but
i'm getting prophetic, since it has yet to be released!
speaking of sarah harmer, anybody ever hear of her? i was in starbucks, god
help me, and they had a rack of cd's for sale, one of which by ms. harmer.
their little blurb compared her to lucinda williams (with whom i am not
familiar) and JONI MITCHELL...
ok, i thot. i'll bite. and its pretty good! there are two cuts on it i
really love (basement apartment and don't get your back up) and several
others i like alot. now, its true she's from canada (ontario) and she
writes and sings her own songs and the gender is right, but that is where the
parallel would have to end. nothing like ms. joni, (who is? go ahead, name
one...) but nevertheless, she's pretty good. its fun sometimes to take a
chance on a cd and have it turn out for the best. of course, taking a chance
and feeling like a chump is not quite as fun, (scud mountain boys, for
example...) but life is for learning...
can't wait to get my paul simon cd!! out tomorrow, if anyone's interested.
take care everybody!
ric
