Tends to get overlooked in a canon of superb albums, but it really is genius and no-one else ever sounded the same before or since:

Growing on me a bit, this one:

Inclined to agree. It took me a very long time to "get into" the Dan, before it was a 'love hate' thing, but now having obtained most of their albums, I definitely love them.Quote:

When I went to see them at Aintree years ago I paid for front row centre seat and access to the 'executive lounge.' After the show there was a charity raffle for the executive ticket holders, £5 a go, winner gets to meet the band.
I bought a ticket but didn't win. Not sure if I would have coped if I had. Would certainly be a Wayne's World 'We're not worthy' moment.
They are my only heroes.
Just time for one more.

Three excellent albums there Steve.
Saw her in London years ago. She performed 'Last chance Texaco', which is possibly my favourite song of hers, so I can now die a happy man!
Brilliant song, might be my favourite too. She was featured in a series "Women Who Rock" (recommended) which is currently on Sky Arts.Quote:

I heard somewhere that her later output is rather more 'experimental' and not as good, but it's time I judged that for myself - I'm sure the worst of Rickie Lee Jones would knock spots off the "best of" many other artists.
Flying Cowboys is good. I have most of her output, and would agree her later works could be considered to be critically inferior, but I don't care.
