Rickie Lee JonesThe Wilshire Theater Facts and Information

Singer/songwriter Rickie Lee Jones' father taught her how to sing and even wrote her a lullaby called The Moon Is Made Of Gold that Rickie Lee Jones used to sing at her early concerts. When Rickie Lee Jones was 19, Jones moved to Los Angeles where Rickie Lee Jones performed in local clubs. After having several of her songs recorded by legendary guitarist Lowell George, Rickie Lee Jones was signed to Warner Bros. and released her Grammy winning self-titled debut album. Nine albums and more than 20 years later, Rickie Lee Jones is still charming fans with her coy, mumbled drawl and dizzy soulful style.

Rickie Lee Jones' story starts off like approximately any modern day Nashville starlet; only Rickie Lee Jones  left home at an early age in the 1970s to waitress in Los Angeles instead of Music City. And rather than hooking up with Harlan Howard or Kris Kristofferson, Rickie Lee Jones bonded with a young Tom Waits who shared her adoration for jazzy folk songs, gripping narratives and beatnik styled live monologues. Rickie Lee Jones busted out with her self-titled debut in 1979 and hit high on the charts with the jazzy R&B folk pop hit "Chuck E's in Love," a musically constructed ditty about singer/songwriter Chuck E. Weiss (an obsession of hers who would find his way into many more of her lyrics). Although Rickie Lee Jones has been compared to Joni Mitchell time and time again, Rickie Lee Jones  songs are much more rooted in free-form arrangements (as much as free-form can be arranged) as well as elastic vocal inflections that give off more style and grace than vocal gymnastics. But Rickie Lee Jones 's also quite the powerful balladeer as heard on the idealistic and wistful.

Once touted as the usual successor to Joni Mitchell, singer/songwriter Rickie Lee Jones proved no less idiosyncratic or mercurial; like Mitchell, Jones experienced significant commercial success at the onset of her career, but a restless creative spirit -- combined with a stubborn snub to fit comfortably into any one musical niche -- sealed her ultimate destiny as that of a highly-regarded cult heroine. Rickie Lee Jones was born on November 8, 1954, in Chicago, but the volatile relationship between her mother and father resulted in an upbringing that led her all over from Phoenix, AZ, to Olympia, WA, where exclusion ended her school career.

As a teen, Jones began drinking heavily, and eventually she left home and began drifting up and down the West Coast before settling in Los Angeles in the mid-'70s. There she worked a series of witnessing jobs while infrequently performing in area clubs, where Rickie Lee Jones sang and honed her unique, Beat-influenced spoken word monologues. Rickie Lee Jones also began a relationship with fellow boho Tom Waits. Her first measure of success was as a songwriter; after her friend Ivan Ulz sang Jones' work "Easy Money" over the phone to Lowell George, the ex-Little Feat frontman included it on his album Thanks I'll Eat It Here.

Then, in 1978 Jones' four-song demo came to the attention of Warner Brothers managerial Lenny Waronker, who enlisted Russ Titleman to co-produce her self-titled 1979 debut LP. Spurred by the achievement of the jazz-flavored hit single "Chuck E's in Love," Rickie Lee Jones became a smash both commercially and seriously, earning praise for Jones' elastic vocals, vivid wordplay and sole fusion of folk, jazz and R&B. With 1981's follow-up Pirates, Rickie Lee Jones gave early notice that her music would not sit still; employing longer and more complex song structures, her lyrics tackled themes of development, change and death.

Two years later, Rickie Lee Jones returned with Girl at Her Volcano, an EP collection of live jazz standards and studio outtakes; with 1984's The Magazine, Rickie Lee Jones made another left turn, teaming with composer James Newton Howard for her most slick, synth-driven outing to date. Problems with alcohol, business difficulties and the birth of a daughter efficiently sidelined Jones for much of the decade; Rickie Lee Jones did not resurface until 1989's sterling Flying Cowboys, produced by Steely Dan's Walter Becker and recorded with the aid of the magnificent Scottish trio the Blue Nile.

Don Was took over the creation reins for 1991's Pop Pop, on which Jones covered ballads ranging in origin from Tin Pan Alley to the Haight-Ashbury while backed by jazz players including Charlie Haden and Joe Henderson. After 1993's Traffic From Paradise, Rickie Lee Jones embarked on an acoustic tour; Naked Songs, a document of those unplugged shows, followed in 1995. Ghostyhead was released in 1997 and It's Like This appear three years later.
