Reviews
Praise for Last Chance Texaco "A jaw-dropping youth, and an addictive, funny, eccentric and perceptive memoir." --Nick Hornby "In this raw and roving life story, Jones depicts a child who recognized her humanity and worth even when others wouldn't, and a woman whose confidence helped her rise above heroin addiction, music-industry sexism and the traumas of her youth . . . In a book about the past, Jones has no problem moving on. It's a neat trick." --Jake Cline, Washington Post "Candid, cosmic, so cool... An impassioned and cinematic trip through Jones's eventful life. Jones manages to carry her originality, intimacy, and volcanic expressiveness into book form." --Boston Globe "Terrific... The prose is rich and rhythmic, filled with lines that are pithy ("Rickie Lee is a Frank Capra movie that had been overtaken by Stanley Kubrick") and poetic ("childhood traumas leave their dirty footprints on the fresh white snow of our happy-ever-afters.") . . . Jones is as fearless in prose as she is on stage." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune "So remarkably beautifully written, showing [Rickie Lee's] signature as a songwriter, too." --Scott Simon, NPR "One of the most compelling memoirs I've ever read... What really sucks you in, and lifts you up, is the dazzling magic of her prose." --Please Kill Me "Well-crafted and intensely candid." --San Diego Union-Tribune "A crackling debut memoir... Wise and gorgeous, this story is as poetic as the songs that made Jones famous." --Publishers Weekly (starred) "In gorgeous prose interspersed with her lyrics, this is as distinctive as she is, a rich, bracing, and candid memoir dancing with the love of language."--Booklist (starred review) "What makes this a most inspiring memoir is her absorbing storytelling, facility with language (no surprise there) and her fealty to integrity - commerce be damned." --Michael Simmons, MOJO "This tender, fierce, intimate memoir is testament that Jones has lived a life as brave... and rich as her music--with love, heartbreak, addiction, and magic, sprinkled throughout." --O Magazine "Men leave, fame fizzles, family breaks your heart...but Jones knows a good story and how to tell it." --Kirkus (starred review) "Fans will enjoy this buoyant coming-of-age narrative by one of music's most idiosyncratic performers." --Library Journal Praise for Rickie Lee Jones "Rickie Lee Jones has been pushing down musical boundaries for over four decades with her hauntingly beautiful voice and fearless experimentation." --NPR "[Her] music has healing properties: the beauty of its melodies and the wisdom of its words soothe the soul and remind us what a peculiar treasure Jones is." --Boston Globe "Intimate and real . . . she feels like an old, confiding friend--plaintive and genuinely heartbreaking." --Mother Jones "One of the most intriguing, idiosyncratic vocalists of our time." --USA Today "A singular talent." --Daily Mirror (UK) "There has always been something defiant about Rickie Lee Jones . . . [with] a voice from a dream, elusive yet familiar, transcendent, a messenger from another place." --Independent (UK) "A standout international performer." --The Australian, Praise for Last Chance Texaco "A jaw-dropping youth, and an addictive, funny, eccentric and perceptive memoir." -- Nick Hornby "In this raw and roving life story, Jones depicts a child who recognized her humanity and worth even when others wouldn't, and a woman whose confidence helped her rise above heroin addiction, music-industry sexism and the traumas of her youth . . .

Amazingly fast shipping even over a holiday! I'm impressed! Also great packing meant the Blu Ray got here in great shape. Fantastic seller, will look for Rare Aviation in my future searches.
