Greetings all, and fuckin' hip-hip hooray that JM.Com is back up and running. That was like a bad dream.... I just wanted to send out the message (especially after my miserable concert experience last week) that the web-only Rickie Lee Jones "Live in Portland" CD, available through her website, is WONDERFUL. It actuallyis a nice companion piece to the "Naked Songs" release, even though a fair number of tracks overlap, in that the full band arrangements are quite good, providing a busier sound than on the other title. Also, Jonatha's new release "Steady Pull", due on Feb 13th, is now being advertised on HER site (her own, not Rickie's ;~>), and advence ordering will begin on the first of January. A new Christmassy download is available of Jonatha's version of "Emmanuelle" and you can also see a new 'Making of the video' vid clip as well as the new cover art for the forthcoming CD. Had to share. -Chris PS. That tribute CD "Came Upon A Child of God" hasn't shipped to me from Amazon yet, but now you can sample the first half of the tracks if you search for it on the Amazon site. Sounds OK...nothing earth shattering, but it'll throw me a bone while I (We) wait for the reprise release. Cheers!
