It wasn't Joni but I was struck and loved it. Ibought Flying Cowboys and loved it, then get the back catalogue and have managed to see her several times in London, Birmingham and Guildford. She's more of an artist than you're Saturday Night Music Club singer (ahem) and relies on inspiration of the moment when recording. She'll direct her players onstage during songs, asking them to change instruments, going on the vibe of her players, the nightand the audience. Which *can be* tricky if we're not feeling it. Balm In Gilead and Sermon on Exposition Boulevard are amazing albums for that (but consequently suffer from a little of the rambling of some tracks. I'm not too fussed over the 'covers' albums (Pop Pop, It's Like This and Better tHE dEVIL. and yeah, I saw her Ghostyhead tour and got the album... it's very experimental. She's playing in my favourite venue in July in London. I can't wait. MuchJoni Jamie Zubairi Actor, Voiceover, Painter, Photographer.

Arrgh! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 May 2013 07:46:26 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: Recurring Rickie Lee thread, njc Jim, All those are good. "Girl At Her Volcano" was an EP she put out between Pirates and The Magazine and it's well worth having. A Tom Waits cover, her version of one of my fave songs (Walk Away Renee) and 6 others. Used to be hard to come by but it's been re-released with all the tracks there. Flying Cowboys should be in your collection - great songs and production by Walter Becker. I don't need to tell YOU who he is. Traffic From Paradise is a bit uneven and will disappoint. Pop Pop is really pretty and QUIET, a covers record of just her and a nylon-string guitar. Not essential but lovely nonetheless. Ghostyhead is very off-putting, an experimental record that was a failure in almost every way. If she has a stinker, this is it. I liked Sermon on Exposition Boulevard and Balm in Gilead but I don't think anyone would say they hold up to the level of her firat 2 records. A very high bar indeed.

Perhaps my wording was a tad strong. I wanted to make sure that Jim knew that it was a TOTAL DEPARTURE from her other projects. I do not think he'd like it as you do based on what I know about his tastes. And I'm with you on "The Devil You Know", which is (yet) another album of covers. I suppose I have no room complaining about someone releasing too many covers though, do I?
