Lee Jones -
Traffic From Paradise Geffen GEFSD
24602 (1993) This is one of Rickie's stronger
releases when taken as a whole. [Also check out
The Magazine which is also very
good.]
From a Minneapolis Star-Tribune concert review:
-- O t h e r
h i g h l i g h t s in the 95-minute
concert included a reading of David Bowie's "Rebel
Rebel," in which she alternated between being sweet
and tender with being tough and aggressive.
"Running from Mercy," a song
she cowrote with Minnesota guitarist Leo Kottke for
"Traffic from Paradise," was her most tuneful
selection of the evening.
Kottke was in the audience
but didn't join her on-stage, he said because
beforehand they realized that "they didn't have
anything they remembered how to play together."
Anyway, this night belonged to Jones.
The picture here is not from Traffic From
Paradise but from The Magazine.
I like this one better. Rickie Lee includes
some beautiful pictures of herself in
Traffic.
Leo also cowrote "Albatross" on this recording
and plays on most every song. Rickie has noted
important events in her life and says: "I hear
Great Big Boy by Leo Kottke and I want
to write songs."
A 1994
article in
Musician magazine with LK and Rickie
has a discussion of both Peculiaroso
and Traffic From Paradise.

Out of the Valley High Street Records
72902 10325 (1992)
Well in some ways
it's limiting, in other ways it brings songs to
life that don't go over too well. I remember Leo
Kottke saying there was a song he liked but he
stopped playing it in concert because it never got
any response. But it was a great song on the
record. It was a song I'd learned because I was
talking to him about it. It was a song called
Sonora's Death Row - one of my
all-time favorite cowboy songs. It was on.. I
forget the name of the album - Burnt
Lips or something like that. I saw him at
this festival outside of Denver last summer and we
started talking about that song, and he asked me if
I would do it because I told him I used to perform
it... So I quickly wrote the first line of every
verse and put it on my notebook, and I was able to
do it at the festival later that morning. That was
a thrill, to do a song that I learned from a
record, and to have the guy who recorded it ask me
to do it. -
From an interview with Anil
Prasad.
Leo plays on "That's Why" and "Furniture".
