Kyle Meredith with... Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones on Reconnecting with Her Past & Singing the American Songbook Rickie Lee Jones drops by to talk with Kyle Meredith about Pieces of Treasure, her first album of standards that focuses specifically on The American Songbook. The legendary singer-songwriter tells us about reuniting with Russ Titelman, who co-produced her first two LPs, and taking control of her story with the recent autobiography Last Chance Texaco: Chronicles of an American Troubadour. Jones also discusses what it means to sing songs that are steeped in a byegone male-dominated era, giving a new, mystical sound to the song “Nature Boy,” and digging up her very first publicity photo for the cover art. #rickieleejones #tomwaits #70smusic
