Anaemic cabaret-blues for suckers or "the Hebrew BB King"????

Pretty mediocre, all told. Search the legend, destroy the music.

Too true, JBR - but the concept is indeed great. I aim to be the semitic Elmore James by the time I'm sixty.

Search: the Tom Waits/Rickie Lee Jones association, all that LA boozey fleabag Tropicana Motel '70s mythos.

Destroy: LA in general.

Is the Rickie Lee Jones album with "Chuck E's In Love" any good? It's been on my list for some time.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 20 March 2003 12:06 (twenty-three years ago)

It is. Haven't played it in years, though.

I must be a sucker, as I picked up 'Old Souls & Wolf Tickets' and it sounds pretty good to me. Whatever its other qualities, it's a lot of fun.

It sounds less good the more you hear it. or to paraphrase Mark Twain (who was no Chuck E. fan, I tell you what): it sounds better than it is.

have you been to LA, Jody Beth?

― dan (dan), Thursday, 20 March 2003 21:20 (twenty-three years ago)

yes.

Fite fite fite!

What little I've heard by him was good. It Rains On Me is good.

Destroy: Chuck E and Rickie Lee
Search: the Tropicana, Tom Waits, LA in general.

Waitaminute; that first Rickie Lee album is great.

― Sean (Sean), Sunday, 23 March 2003 18:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, Waits is a different league entirely.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 23 March 2003 18:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I had another listen over the weekend, and it still sounds good. I must still be a sucker.

I guess it depends what your expectations are. I had none (picked it up for free) and was pleasantly surprised. If you're expecting 'Blue Valentine' or 'Swordfishtrombones' you'll be disappointed.

He sounds like he'd be a lot of fun live.
