More of the Music of Rickie Lee Jones
- Seriously good sound throughout this original Warner Brothers EP, with both sides earning solid Double Plus (A++) grades – exceptionally quiet vinyl too
- Superbly rich, warm and full-bodied – all things considered – with excellent presence and remarkably dynamic vocals
- The piano sounds tonally correct, with real weight and heft, a key quality we look for in the records we sell
- “Given the quality of her first two LPs, Jones certainly was entitled to take some extra time in fashioning her next one, [and] Girl at Her Volcano made for a tasty snack and a reminder of her abilities”
We’re big fans of RLJ’s self-titled debut, a longtime member of our Top 100 list. I think this one is probably the next best thing she’s done. It may only be an EP but it’s a consistently good EP in which every track is good and some are amazing.
