Acoustic singer-songwriter Rickie Lee Jones, who is frequently regarded as one of the most significant and renowned women in the vast field of pop/rock music, has amassed a lengthy discography of music that is difficult, fascinating, and satisfyingly individual.

Jones is a quirky and distinctive songwriter, composer, solo performer, and singer who deserves a fair amount of cult following but is probably still underappreciated on a bigger scale. Here’s a look at this brave artist’s illustrious career, which spanned the 1980s but also consistently managed to transcend any one era or genre.

 

NPR ranked her album Pirates 49th out of the top 150 female-produced albums.

Young Years

Jones, who was raised by a vaudevillian performer, started developing an authentically independent artistic spirit at a young age. The majority of Jones’ formative years were spent in Arizona, where she encountered numerous difficulties in her family life. As a result, she left home at a young age and went on her own. By the middle of the 1970s, Jones had joined a Los Angeles-area country-rock band, but she soon struck out on her own, following an eclectic route rather than adhering to the period’s prevalent California sound, which was typified by The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt. Support for her would eventually grow to the point where Warner Bros. offered her a record deal.

 

Debut and Overnight Success

Early 1979 saw the publication of Jones’ self-titled first album to quick critical acclaim. The following year, she would adorn the cover of Rolling Stone, earn multiple Grammy nominations, and otherwise dominate numerous major media outlets with her distinctive style. This enormous success did not last very long until Jones’ 1981 follow-up, Pirates, because she refused to fit into any particular genre or trend and gradually shifted her music toward more experimental and less pop-oriented area. This detour from mainstream success undoubtedly resulted in a quieter, if not less ardent, career path for the remainder of the 1980s.

The 1990s and Beyond: Still Trendy and Well-Received

At the start of her major-label recording career, Jones had practically become a legend, which was both a blessing and a tragedy because it came with high expectations. Unsurprisingly, she has continued to create music on her own terms, garnering a large following among musicians and staying a highly regarded cult figure. Despite not having released many records over the past two decades, Jones continues to hold a significant amount of sway within the expanding adult alternative singer-songwriter scene.

2015 saw the release of Jones’ album The Other Side of Desire and the song “Jimmy Choos” which makes reference to the footwear manufacturer. In 2016, Jones released a single of “Bad Company” by Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke.

Jones performed at the Glastonbury Festival in 2019. Grove Press published Jones’ autobiography Last Chance Texaco: Chronicles of an American Troubadour in 2021. Rickie Lee Jones’ net worth is projected to reach $4 million as of 2023.
