“Music legend and former LA resident (she lived on Westminster Ave in Venice during a pivotal time in her early career), Rickie Lee Jones returns to SoCal for a rare one-night performance presented by LA Weekly and the Spaceland/Echo folks, but notably taking place at the historic Vista Theatre. The artist eternally known, for better or worse, as the "Chuck E's In Love" singer, performs songs from her latest, Balm in Gilead, a comeback disc that features collaborations with Ben Harper, Victoria Williams, Jon Brion, and Alison Krauss.”
Julian Hooper, Flavorpill
There is only one Rickie Lee Jones and you can experience her unique mixture of R&B, jazz, soul and pop in February. That is, if your town is lucky enough to be on the routing sheet.
Has it really been more than thirty years since Jones recorded "Chuck E.'s In Love?" As the story goes, Jones was with Tom Waits while the gravel-voiced singer spoke on the phone with friend and musician Chuck E. Weiss.
After ending the call, Jones supposedly asked Waits about the conversation, and he replied, "Chuck E.'s in Love" thereby giving her the song title that would eventually become her signature tune and help launch her career. – Pollstar
