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.Originally Posted by Macca

I recall you saying years back now that you didn't get what was so special about them.
I got into them in 1991 during a very tough time in my life and I'm sure they helped me through, although no idea how, so there's some additional attachment for me there.
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.

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.
So I am starting my day with the only other album I have:
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.
