Description:
Newly remastered and compiled for the first time, Duchess Of Coolsville brings together 26 year's worth of the uniquely talented Rickie Lee Jones. With over three hours of music on three inspired discs (including one full disc of rare and unreleased tracks), this collection serves as the ultimate introduction to an essential artist.
Rickie Lee Jones' career ascent began after famed rock frontman Lowell George recorded her song "Easy Money" for a Little Feat album. An inimitable stylist, Jones made her own indelible mark with the scat-flavoured hit "Chuck E's In Love" from her acclaimed 1979 self-titled debut. The single hit #4 on Billboard's Pop chart, the album claimed #3, and she took home the Best New Artist Grammy. Ever since, Jones has blazed an artistically idiosyncratic path, taking listeners on a journey through a long string of beautiful, adventurous and personal albums. Her distinctive vocals encompass rock, jazz, blues, classic pop, folk, and R&B inflections, and are textured with fluent wordplay. Delivered with true heart, Rickie Lee's sound is one of the most authentic and original in contemporary music.
