UUSI Rickie Lee Jones Pirates CD (1981) - Ilmainen Toimitus

After the critical and commercial success

of her debut two years earlier, Rickie Lee

Jones had a lot riding on her sophomore

album, Pirates. From the opening track,

"We Belong Together," Jones served noti-

ce that she was willing to challenge her-

self and experiment with more unusual,

complex song structures. Her unique

phrasing and style reflect her interest in

beat poets and the bohemian lifestyle,

and on this album she relies on more ob-

scure imagery than the direct, detailed

observations on comrades used on her

first album. There are a wide range of mu-

sical influences represented (rock, jazz,

soul), but the acoustic arrangements are

more piano-based than most of her other

albums. While there is an undercurrent

of reflection on failed romances, Jones

also reveals her playful side with songs

like "Woody and Dutch." The musical and

lyrical variety on the album is best repre-

sented in the album's centerpiece, "Pira-

tes (So Long Lonely Avenue)," where she

moves through mood and tempo changes

with ease. Although the songs may not

immediately grab the listener, the lyrical

and musical complexities ultimately make

this album more rewarding with every lis-

ten.
