Young Blood is hiding there somewhere
If you're looking for something to do
There's always something happening there
Like I & Bragger, we borrowed a coupe to day
Here come Pepe and she's got a friend with a chevrolet
But she ain't running
She's walking a little slow
And she ain't crying-- she's just singing a little low
They say this city will make you dirty
But you look alright
You feel real pretty when he's holding you tight
City will make you mean
But that's just make-up on your face
Love will wash you clean in the night's disgrace
Find a block where your people can find you
Keep a third eye watching behind you
You never know when you're making a memory
They will wish they were here together again, someday
Kids looking for something to get into--
Take a look
Two for the movie show
Three for the back row
Hold on tight!
Remember, you might have looked like cool twelve
But your fuse just felt like dynamite
Take a walk around midnight in the city
Young Blood will find you there, somewhere
And if you're looking for something to do
There's always something happening there
My feeling too! What happened to her?
She made some fantastic records - Pirates, The Magazine and Flying Cowboys are all worth checking out.
Sorry. Gotta disagree. That first album was awesome and everything she did after that paled in comparison.
Agree. She got "mumbly" and you couldn't understand what she was singing, and the albums were too much of the same. I've tried a few times to go back and re-listen to some of them, but could never get into those later albums, even the one Walter Becker produced.

There are at least six extremely good albums - end-to-end - in that output.

Agreed! And it just seems as if she had such sky-is-the-limit potential that was never fulfilled.

You gotta check out her album from 2016 - it's fantastic. She's got a new one coming out next month.
for me anyway.

You mean too hip and too cool?

Me too
I also really like her later stuff, especially when she was working with Walter Becker.
36 years this summer.
Her latest is really delightful.
(Actually, that's just the word The Guardian used: delightful.)
Real nice song from a dang decent album.

Boggles the mind don't it? One thing I didn't realize, Rickie's song "Easy Money" was first recorded by Lowell George of Little Feat for his first solo effort. I've always thought of the lady as a feminine Tom Waits....which very well may be why the relationship didn't last (heh). She was/is one of a kind....and that ain't necessarily a bad thang.....
Just sayin'...

Actually, the sound of passing traffic can be quite pleasant - it's when it slows down and pulls into my driveway that I get agitated. Rickie's music is a balm to my soul, and this CD in particular is magical for me.
Hang in there, mistermerp - I'm sure Bill will play an ABBA song soon...

Miss you so much, Cynaera...
love this groovy song...
Touche'! And thanks, Bill, for reminding me of this song. The album, her first, would probably be in my top 10.
Just remarked, the other day, what a wonderful album "Rickie Lee Jones" is.

Damn. I HATE it when I forget the pineapple. Must be a short circuit in one of my synapses... Off to visit your link - do they deliver? To Nevada? Rats.... Sometimes I really feel isolated from the rest of the civilized world.
EDIT: Thin crust? Personal service? Wicked-good ambiance? Great price? Okay, I'm noting this one in my list of places to visit. Thanks, as always, Businessgypsy. You never cease to amaze or enlighten me.

Wow - talk about histrionics. Hey, SmilinJimmy, are you sure it was Rickie's music and not that double-pepperoni pizza (I told you the combination of anchovies and jalapeños would be bad!) and seven boilermakers you had earlier? I recommend drinking an Alka-Seltzer, taking four Percogesics (for the ensuing hangover), and sleeping until, oh, December (wouldn't want you to miss the winter solstice.)
And dolfan - you're doing remarkably well for a person with no head. How do you see to type? I hear there's casting going on for a new zombie movie, and the people who audition don't need heads - they just need to be able to shamble convincingly. To your credit, you abstained from using the barfo-emoticon, so if I hear of other casting options for a person with no head, I'll let you know (although it'd have to be via e-mail, and with no head, I don't really know how you'll be able to read your e-mail... but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it... um, except that if you don't have a head, how will you know when you've reached the bridge.... unless you were using a metaphor, in which case you should have quantified your statement, because I'm gonna have nightmares about some unknown person staggering around without a head...)
I need to hear more Rickie Lee Jones to erase these horrible images of barfing and headless people from my brain.

Just downloaded this from iTunes, using your link. Couldn't believe I didn't have this already!

Or you could go out and play in traffic and let the rest of us enjoy this singular and wonderful talent.

Totally. Hearing anything from this album always brings me right on back, and makes me happy!
Sigh! I wish that was still on....

This was my first exposure to Rickie Lee; I've worn this CD out. Terrific. The lady's amazing.
