2008 2LP 45rpm 180gm Reissue. Not Since Billie Holiday Has There Been A Vocalist Who So Completely Transforms A Song Into Her Own. On It's Like This, Eclectic Folkie Rickie Lee Jones Envelops Standards, Showtunes, '70s Soul, And Even Slick Jazz-Rock, Interpreting Them With Her Familiar Childlike, Breathy Shouts. In A Very Similar Vein As 1991's Pop Pop, Jones Pulls Together A Collection Of Diverse Songs From Throughout The 20th Century And Gives Them A Sparse, Fragile Spin, Kind Of Like Diana Krall And Bjork Sharing Coffee At An All-Night Diner. Produced By Bruce Brody (Who Has Also Worked With Maria Mckee And Bette Midler), This Album Is Really A Showcase For The Dynamic Vocalist - Her Voice Pitching And Yawing Like A Sloop Far Out At Sea. Several Notable Artists Scatter Themselves Unobtrusively Throughout The Album Like Joe Jackson, Ben Folds, John Pizzarelli, And Taj Mahal; Each Lend A Subtle Bass Line Or Harmony Vocal, Cautiously Not Stepping On Any Of Jones' Delicate Lines. Both LP's Appear Unplayed.
