Kicks

Rickie Lee Jones is that rare musician who has transcended the singer/songwriter mantle by incorporating different genres she continues that tradition on her latest album Kicks, her newest collection of songs from the great American songbook.

The album selection spans two decades (50s-70s) of pop, rock and jazz, and Jones presents her unique and sophisticated interpretations of these songs.

Kicks was created entirely in New Orleans, using local musicians, mixers and studios. Produced by Rickie Lee Jones with her band-mate, vibraphonist Mike Dillion, it features 10 songs of a highly infectious nature. "Nagasaki" is her traditional jazz offering of tight three-part harmonies, while "Bad Company" features Jones cutting loose on electric guitar.
