'I have been very happy to know that my work went out into the ether and became a part of people. That’s the main thing.'
Few women have arrived on the music scene with the critical and commercial force of Rickie Lee Jones. Her self-titled debut featured 11 songs that ranged from the catchy, lighthearted “Chuck E’s in Love” to heartbreaking ballads like “Last Chance Texaco” and “Company.
I wanna start with Kicks, the new album. This is the second album you’ve made since moving to New Orleans. Tell me a little bit about your connection to the city. This album opens with “Bad Company.” What drew you to [cover] that song and put it first on the album? That’s right. The idea, if I wanted to do a Joplin song, would be to emphasize the difference. A good artist will take somebody else’s influence and make it their own. I’m always excited to declare women that inspired and influenced me; I feel it necessary and never derivative. I want you to know who came before. And I want you to know that everybody is inspired by other people.
I guess I just pick [the songs that] I am thinking of at the moment. [It] has to do with history, honoring my family, the song, what it stands for, my career, my voice at the time -- all that stuff. #cf_5 .cf-btn:after { border-radius: 0px } .cf-content-wrap, .cf-form-wrap{ padding:5px; } div#cf_5 { margin-bottom: 20px; } .cf-content-text.cf-col { padding-left: 20px;padding-right:20px; } convertforms.cf-success .
