Rickie Lee Jones - It's Like This [2LP/ 180G/ 45 RPM/ Analogue Productions Audiophile Pressing]

Rickie Lee Jones transforms songs by the Beatles, Traffic, Steely Dan, Gershwin and Lerner and Loewe on Her Incredible Album - It’s Like This! Cut from the Original Analog Tape by Kevin Grey and Pressed at RTI on Two Slabs of 45-RPM Virgin Vinyl! No one can take a song and make it her own like Rickie Lee Jones. It's Like This finds Jones and her top-notch team of instrumentalists doing justice to the brilliant material she's selected, creating a musical wonderland where timeless songs meet spirited, lovely performances. On this September 2001 release, she does just that by taking on standards, show tunes, '70s soul, and even slick jazz-rock, interpreting them with her familiar childlike, breathy shouts. This is her third collection of interpretations of other artists' works. What's striking about It's Like This is how effortlessly Jones, also a consummate arranger, weaves together songs from so many different genres and eras and make them sound as if she's just written them herself.
