Advantages: Excellent straighter styled Space - Rock. top recording! Disadvantages: Not in the class of earlier works. Last track is a let down!
...' styled in the vocals here.It Rocks! The following ' Prisoner in mind' 'Silent Revolution' ' Fire and Ice ' and ' Eclipse of Mind ' are all really fine more rock based songs with very powerfull scorching guitar/ riffing and the odd lovely spacey ethereal passages.The final track though is a little of a let down.Great start but far too long and the full choir and orchestra just doesn't fit there style at all. Very bombastic and too overdone!
A great CD though this one. Even if it's not as good as earlier works i really like it! Love the artwork on the cover by the way! Recommended!

Her voice is addictive, it’s sweet and calming making you want to listen to her album more and more. I discovered Rickie Lee Jones about the same time I started getting into Blues, with the likes of BB King and John Lee Hooker, just two of Jazz & R&B greats.
Rickie Lee Jones quite easily fits into that category.
Tracks on her album include:

Advantages: Good mixture of tracks Disadvantages: ?
...into but isn't. So after fiddling with it for a while I got a knife and sliced across it, not damaging the card sleeve I might add.
There is a sepia type picture on the front of a dart board on this one, with the words One Hit Wonders across the front and several of the stars who sang them underneath.
Information on the back is limited to the tracks, who produces them, playing time, total 56minutes 18 seconds. There is in very small type font a bit about whom they are licensed to.

The tracks
1) The Archies - Sugar Sugar
Who, who wasn't born before the seventies could resist jigging about to this version? I didn't realise they only had one hit. A very bouncy fun song that reminds me of the hours spent in front of a mirror with my tape playing while I made my face up for a night out.
2) Doctor...
