Rickie Lee Jones (Warner Bros. BSK 3296, 1979)

I didn’t give this album a chance until well after I’d gotten deeply into Tom Waits and his lore. It’s crazy how big of a hit “Chuck E.’s in Love” was with this sassy “little girl” laying down hipster jive with the best of them. “Easy Money” would’ve fit on Nighthawks at the Diner. “Danny’s All-Star Joint” is fun as hell. Here comes Rickie with the girdle on tight!
