Rickie Lee Jones
Although Rickie Lee Jones made her biggest splash with her self-titled debut LP in 1979 (and the single “Chuck E.'s in Love”), she’s far from a one-hit wonder. Winning the Best New Artist Grammy in 1980, Jones came on like Joni Mitchell at a truck stop, a bluesier precursor to Sheryl Crow. Her 2023 album, Pieces of Treasure, was nominated for a 2024 Grammy as best traditional pop vocal album. (Laufey won for Bewitched.) Not gonna say this is your last chance Texaco moment to see Jones, but then again, why wait?

Rickie Lee Jones is an American musician, storyteller and two-time Grammy winner who has been inspiring pop culture for decades, beginning with her star-making self-titled debut, followed by the seminal Pirates. Named the “premiere song-stylist and songwriter of her generation” by The New Yorker, and “The Duchess of Coolsville” by Time magazine, Jones released her Grammy-nominated album Pieces of Treasure in 2023, a reunion with Russ Titelman, who produced her first two records. Jones’ celebrated memoir Last Chance Texaco was named Book of the Year by MOJO and a Best Book of the Year at Pitchfork and NPR. The Independent writes, “There has always been something defiant about Rickie Lee Jones . . . a voice from a dream, elusive yet familiar, transcendent, a messenger from another place.”
