Produktbeschreibung

Die zweifache Grammy-Preisträgerin, die US-amerikanische Singer-Songwriterin, Sängerin, Gitarristin und Pianistin Rickie Lee Jones prägte einen neuartigen und oft kopierten Stil des Song-Arrangements. Schon auf frühen Album spielte sie bereits mit Größen wie Dr. John, Randy Newman oder Michael McDonald (Doobie Brothers). Auf "Kicks" präsentiert die charismatische Ex-Partnerin von Tom Waits Coverversionen von Liedern aus dem sog. "American Songbook", in diesem Falle Klassiker aus den Dekaden der 50er-70er der Genres Pop, Rock und Jazz. 1. "Bad Company? (Bad Company, 1974) 2. "My Fathers Gun? (Elton John, 1970) 3. "Lonely People? (America, 1974) 4. "Houston? (Sanford Clark, 1964; made famous by Dean Martin, 1965) 5. "You're Nobody ?Til Somebody Loves You? (Russ Morgan, 1944; made famous by Dean Martin, 1960/1964) 6. "Nagasaki? (Ipana Troubadours, 1928; most famous by Benny Goodman Quartet, 1952) 7. "Mack The Knife? (Louis Armstrong, 1956; made famous by Bobby Darin, 1958) 8. "Quicksilver Girl? (Steve Miller Band, 1968) 9. "End Of The World? (Skeeter Davis, 1962) 10. "Cry? (Ruth Casey, 1951; made famous by Johnnie Ray and the Four Lads, 1951) https://www.rickieleejones.com/ Kicks is an eclectic album of ten cover songs - from "Mack The Knife" written in 1928 for a German musical (known in the U.S. as The Threepenny Opera) that became a jazz standard, to "Bad Company" the eponymous theme song for the British rock band written in 1974. The arrangement and instrumentation, by producer Michael Napolitano (Ani DiFranco), provides a fresh and modern sonic infusion on every song. Rickie Lee Jones skyrocketed to fame in 1979 when as a barely known artist she appeared on Saturday Night Live. Performing her biggest hit "Chuck E's In Love? in her trademark red beret, Time Magazine instantly dubbed her "the Duchess of Coolsville.? Since then she has gone on to win two Grammy Awards, appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone twice, and included in VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll.
