Free Music Review: Living it up
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a lady of considerable talent, as a unique lyricist, a musician, and fetching expressive vocalist. Ricki Lee Jones' lyrics always capture me with the puzzles she builds, casting her songs with odds and ends of the people in her life, and using slang and insider terms. The lyrics evoke thrown together parties in back street dumps, full of fun and consequences. Her voice has the cracky vulnerable sound of both seduction, hang-over, and mourning.
I gave the CD 4 because I actually like the full recordings with back-up musicians and back-up vocals, but here she collects her finest work and the lyrics come out of the speakers and grab you in this format.
"The Horses" remains one of her most beautiful compositions and makes a strong beginning to this CD. Much like her song "Magazine" the undertone of sadness is broken with a drifting catchy melody.
"It Must be Love" and "Young Blood" certainly come off diferently without all the background musicians supporting the efforts. These fast moving works, like "Living it Up", "We Belong Together", and "Chuck E's in Love", have such a casual live-and-let live lacidasical luster.
"The Last Chance Texaco" has some of the most powerful, clever and revealing lyrics Ricki has written. I found the lyrics to be jam-packed with double and triple meanings.
"Skeletons" remains such a tragic and sad piece of work. Like many of her songs, folks on the edge get by with little but hold together through it all by holding onto each other.
The CD is longer than most CDs as Ricki puts 15 of her best works in non-rushed style all in one package.
