She will tour the USA for most of June before her Glastonbury appearance on the 30th of June, performing on the Acoustic Stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rickie Lee Jones is that rare musician who has transcended the singer\/songwriter mantle by incorporating different radio genres from the get-go and she continues that tradition on the new album.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is fitting that one of the American treasures of songwriters should be comfortable with this diverse collection of the great songwriters of the 20th century &#8211; she is one of them. On \u2018Kicks\u2019, she brings emotion to sleeper album tracks like &#8216;My Fathers Gun&#8217; and her tongue-in-cheek humour to songs like &#8216;Houston&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Weaving the connection between 70\u2019s rock and 50\u2019s jazz was no leap for Jones.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt is all part of what I heard growing up,\u201d says Jones. \u201cThe radio played everything! 1960\u2019s AM radio was the primordial zone for our musical life today. As a kid I heard R&amp;B, country, rock, and the most sophisticated singer-songwriters of the day forming their genre. Radio was a college education for a budding musician because these songs are all playing on my internal radio all the time, it\u2019s not a stretch for me to put them together on an LP. Really, I just love to sing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Kicks\u2019 was created entirely in New Orleans, using local musicians, mixers and studios. Produced by Rickie Lee Jones with her band-mate, vibraphonist Mike Dillion, it features 10 songs of a highly infectious nature. &#8216;Nagasaki&#8217; is a traditional jazz offering of tight three-part harmonies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more about Rickie Lee Jones on her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rickieleejones.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_80545\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sg5pc3j2z48?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"YouTube player\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Sg5pc3j2z48\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rickie Lee Jones, who will be performing at this year&#8217;s Glastonbury Festival, makes a political statement with her new video for \u2018Nagasaki\u2019, animated by Ben Clarkson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50376,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[264,16518,7,21455,9,21453,21445,21446,640],"tags":[11522,21588,394,237,2898,21587,21586,77,370,1945,21157,103],"class_list":["post-50375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-concerts","category-festivals","category-music","category-new-albums","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-videos","tag-animated","tag-ben-clarkson","tag-concerts","tag-glastonbury","tag-kicks","tag-nagasaki","tag-new-alubm","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-rickie-lee-jones","tag-tour"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-d6v","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":49484,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2019\/04\/rickie-lee-jones-still-got-those-kicks-with-new-album-out-june-single-lonely-people-out-now\/","url_meta":{"origin":50375,"position":0},"title":"Rickie Lee Jones Still Got Those &#8216;Kicks&#8217; With New Album Out June.
