CD Reviews

Not like the live stuff from her Web site
12/18/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you like Rickie Lee, make sure you visit her web site where
she sells MP3 live recordings, direct to you. There you will
find the opposite of this one: quieter, looser, quirkier. The
offerings there (www.rickieleejones.com) are also often complete
shows. This one *is* as the other reviews suggest: (high-)
powered, poppy, punchy. The thing is, I don't know Rickie Lee
and neither do you (and neither do these other reviewers). So
who can comment on her wishes, and who knows but what she wants
all of these sides of her performance persona exposed. In this
performance, she took pains to put together a *very* slick band,
complete with muted trumpet ornaments, multi-part harmonies,
etc. And it rocks. And if you feel like complaining about the
slick production, save your breath and your time, go to her
website, and download the quiet sensitive stuff until your
fingers go numb. That stuff is great, too!"
Great performance, poor recording

"This must have been a great show. The band is tight. It's wonderful to hear Rickie in a live ensemble setting. Her voice is strong and lovely. This would be a favorite CD of mine if not for the quality of the recording itself. I enjoy "raw" live recordings like those from bands like moe. But this CD could have used a scrubbing in post-production. It sounds like a bootleg. And that would be okay, too, but for the too frequent dropouts in the left or right channel (really noticeable with headphones), and the subtle but all too present hum of the amplifiers in the background. My advice is to check out this recording for yourself before buying it. You may love it. But it left me feeling a bit annoyed and disappointed."
The label must have made her...

"This is rock star Rickie. Loud crowd noise. Overproduced pop hits.If you want the radio version of Rickie Lee Jones, by all means, be my guest. But if you've bought her last five CDs and prefer the introspective, thoughtful, clever and occasionally disturbing Rickie Lee, then you really need her acoustic live CD.It made me sad to listen to this, because I can't image that RLJ really wanted to make this CD. If she did, I can't wait to hear her next studio CD, which I'm sure would be both a crowd pleaser and insightful. As it is, this belongs on Top 40, I'm afraid."
