Rickie Lee Jones Pieces of Treasure VINYL LP

'Pieces of Treasure', Rickie Lee Jones' 2023 album, has been a long time coming. In a career that has spanned more than four decades, the renowned singer songwriter has interpreted an extraordinarily wide range of songs from writers and artists she loves, often collected on the same album - showtunes, blues, folk, rock (David Bowie publicly praised her take on 'Rebel Rebel'). She was nominated for a 1989 Best Jazz Vocal Performance Grammy for her rendition of 'Autumn Leaves' from Rob Wasserman's Duets album; a year later she won in the same category for her duet with Dr. John of 'Makin' Whoopee'. She has released the celebrated jazz-leaning albums 'Girl at Her Volcano' and 'Pop Pop', but until now, she had never devoted an entire album to the American Songbook. 'Pieces of Treasure' - the title a callback to Jones' seminal album 'Pirates' - is a reunion with legendary producer Russ Titelman, who had, with former Warner Bros. Records head Lenny Waronker, co-produced her star-making 1980 self-titled debut and the follow up, 'Pirates'.
