This was beyond radio-friendly. It was a radio marriage. Haven't heard it in ages, yet I still remember all the lyrics. Music can do that. Makes you feel smarter than you really are :)
I think music can also MAKE one smarter......sometimes!
Ah, the number that put her on the map. Rickie Lee was always so cool. Hadn't heard this in years. Still sounds good.
Time magazine dubbed Rickie Lee Jones "The Duchess of Coolsville" in a review of her first professional show in 1979. Her appearance on Saturday Night Live on April 7, 1979, one month after her debut record was released, sparked an overnight sensation. She performed "Chuck E.'s in Love" and "Coolsville" on the show.
I absolutely love Ricki Lee. Still would love to hear you listen to her singing " Down at Danny's All Star Joint " . Talk about fabulous lyrics and fun, fun, to listen to....deep allegorical songs too.
I love her too
I’d be pretty confident to say that who has this album loves it. Some are sure-fire attention grabbers like this and Danny’s All-Star Joint and Weasel & The White Boys Cool and Coolsville. Others are more subtle and sublime, but it’s a quality package, no doubt about it.
Ahh haven't heard this in a while. She was always the swing beat cool cat, delivering those lyrics with a nod and a wink. 🎶
Thanks Daniel !
One of my favorites of her songs is "Last Chance Texaco." Wonderful, haunting lyrics.
We all loved this tune even though initially we didn’t understand it and most of the lyrics. VERY unique at the time for radio play. She came along and was the bohemian Joni Mitchell for most of us.
Not ALL
Love the swing feel on this track. It’s pure charm. Thanks Daniel great reaction.
Haven't heard this song in like forever :) Nice to hear it again.
For me, on the short list of the greatest first albums of all time. I love this album like mad.
Love your internet name! ☺
@@georgewodicka4839 I had a bad throat infection that day.
Not many songs make me feel as happy as this one. I still remember riding my bike around the residential streets of my town with this playing on my portable transistor radio. Happy days!
Unmistakable opening notes, that voice, the cleverness of the lyrics, and the little plot twist at the end, yes this was a popular one. I still laugh at the line "whatever it is he's got up his......sleeve......I hope it isn't contagious."
I have just bought Ricki Lee's autobiographical book Last Chance Texaco, which is an amazing song in itself. With your love of lyrics, I think you would be fascinated by her catalog...
My #1 favorite album. You must hear the whole thing! You would really enjoy the poetry on this album.
Imho.. One of THE best songs ever written. What a great style, delivery she has.
Love Rickie Lee! She is such a unique singer. While her debut album is strong, I actually prefer her sophomore effort, Pirates. Great record! Thanks for listening and reacting, Daniel. Have a great one. 👊👊
Glad to see such a variety of music, even if less than half of it ever grabbed me. Also appreciate exposure to groups, mostly newer, that I either ignored or never heard of.
Daniel, we older cats don’t think of “Chuck E Cheese” when hearing this because that establishment wasn’t around at the time the song was released. But, I can understand why people hearing it, or seeing the title, for the first time might go there.
Please check out Bonnie Raitt the video a Thing Called Love, I Can't Make You Love Me. She is a great slide guitarist and singer. Has sung with every big name out there
Bonnie is such a great talent, very unique, actually, with a huge catalog over a really LONG (and still active) career!
enjoyed! thanks. sweet tune. blast from the past
Summer of 79. It was an awesome Summer. Between 8th & 9th grade. A great beach song.
I have similar memories, but between 5th & 6th grade, and I was just discovering my “own” music, and not whatever the rest of the family was listening to. I bought (and still have) the 45. Whenever I think of “Chuck E” I also remember her follow up song “Youngblood”, and hearing that for the first time on WBZ when we were driving to Cape Cod for vacation that August. I liked that song too, but it was nowhere near as popular.
I highly recommend her album "Flying Cowboys" which was produced by Steely Dan's Walter Becker. Love it from start to finish. The single 'Satellites' was pop heaven but still very Rickie Lee Jones.
You Tube has an interview with her by Arsenio Hall, she's actually shy.
I love Rickie Lee Jones. This song really takes me back. She has such a unique voice. She does a cover of Steely Dan's Showbiz Kids that's amazing. She also did a cover of Sympathy for the Devil and completely made it her own. Those are definitely worth checking out.
Thank you! I will definitely be looking into those covers!
Yes!!! She's so underrated, and so good!
Please dive in here...
BTW this entire album is golden -
If you like this one you'll love "Danny's All-Star Joint" from the same album.
This is the one I'm most familiar with. One day my brother and I had seen Tom Waits on TV and said how she and him had similar styles. Well it turned out they had been involved once and they knew someone named Chuck E.Weiss. Real cool vibe!
Love this song. I grew up with it!
Danny’s All Star Joint is your follow up Rickie Lee.
You’d love the lyrics,and the song really jumps
Another great artist and song love you
Her music is so unique. Listen to Young blood. Her voice and the alto sax go so well together.
Back in the early seventies when Rickie Lee Jones and. Tom Waits were living in downtown L.A., playing dive bars, blaming their alcoholism on the piano and dallying with heroin, they were friends with local musician Chuck E. Weiss (and the Goddamn Liars), who never achieved breakout fame, but is immortalized in this song. Saw Ms. Jones perform at an intimate club in Hollywood late 90s with a crack band, and she was more orange day-glo shag carpeting with avocado drapes mesmerizing than ever...:)
Rickie was a compatriot of Tom Waits. You should look into Tom's early works: "Martha", "Grapefruit Moon", "Ol' 55" (covered by the Eagles), "Step Right Up", "The Piano Has Been Drinking", etc.
Omg thank you!!!! Rickie does not get the love she deserves....I promise you...promise...every song on her debut is amazing...please give the album a try omg ...she's my favorite female artist...thx for reviewing her!!!
"Chuck-E Cheese" made me chuckle! LOL Sweet song. I haven't heard it in years. Thanks Daniel! ;-)
Wow, I haven't heard this song in 2/3rds of a lifetime.
I always liked this one.
Rickie - the epitome of Urban Cool. I've seen her live a couple of times over the years, including in the early years. Once in a bar, with loud people chatting in the back. Rickie stopped and said if you're hear to listen to me, shut up. Otherwise go someplace else. Love her!
Rickie Lee is the epitome of cool. Saw her live in Seattle promoting this album. She was great! You will probably like Tom Waits, who has the same vibe. They were an item for awhile.
Love this song and RLJ
Recently played a concert with an old singer-friend who LOVES Rickie Lee Jones and we performed this song-- which was musically unique on pop-radio in the old days when lyric-analysis was very secondary (thank God and LOL) to musical content. Missing in this review is the fact that all the verse-melodies are improvised and a look at the leadsheet (try that) will show that the verses really aren't melodies but more "spoken-word" in a very affected (and somewhat annoying perhaps) accent of sorts. To us old-timers, this song of course is nothing new and as pop/jazz performers in cover-bands, we had quite our fill of it, while appreciating the novelty of a basically jazz/blues/shuffle, with an all-improvised verse-melody and some serious jazz-chords, becoming a huge pop-hit!
And that's Steve Gadd playing that drum fill ....
Hey dude. 1st time visiting your channel. Keep it up. Articulate and smoooooth. Well done
I love this song!
Thanks Daniel for playing that song. My husband loved her
Love the song, love her voice, love the album. For me the best song is The Last Chance Texaco, which is a magnificent torch song.
Last Chance and Coolsville give me the shivers and Company breaks my heart every time.
She's so much more than Chuck E and Danny's All-Star Joint, the only other song I see suggested here so far.
"Woody and Dutch on the Slow Train to Peking" "Weasel and the White Boys Cool" "The Real End" "Juke Box Fury" and many more.
On a related note, try Maria Muldaur "It Ain't the Meat, It's the Motion." Early 70s era from New Orleans. Very tasty track.
The immortal Steve Gadd on drums. Chuck E. Weiss is a real dude. The "DON'T YOU KNOW!" gets me every time.
Chuck E. Cheese didn't exist when this song came out. I always thought the franchise was named after this song.
True story.
Please do, Rickie Lee Jones - Last Chance Texaco.
Last Chance Texaco is my favorite, it is hauntingly beautiful, and full of creative metaphors.
Chuck E. Weiss... interesting cat.
Great debut album by Rickie. Try "Coolsville", my favorite on the album, but not a bad track on it. Such a great singer/songwriter.
❤️❤️❤️
Flashback!
The second song on the LP is gorgeousness defined. On Saturday Afternoons . . .
I'm glad we went there. And it is great little riff.
The vocal delivery really reminds me of "Leaving Las Vegas" by Cheryl Crow. Has Crow ever referenced (admitted) using Jones as a model?
Many good songs on this album
Good job Daniel
Alsoi check out Edie Brickell "What I Am" - a little bit similar, but more recent - mid 80s I think
The whole album is very good.
I played the heck outta this album
Back in the day, reviewers said that "plp" stood for Play Liar's Poker.
I wouldn’t blame you if you stole that guitar riff, I’m certain you wouldn’t be the first but be warned that the three string slidey bit is not for rusty strings. Ouch.
This song isn't about Chuck E. Cheese, it's about a man named Chuck E. Weiss
Chuck E Cheese was not on the earth when this songs was written and playing.
Please react to Journey From Mariabronn by Kansas!! Its an awesome progressive epic from Kansas’ first album. I think you’d like it
That's a unique song.
Say hey later.
Rickie's signature song, her one big hit, and the only one from this album i never ever listen to anymore. So much more to get from this first album, and the ones after - Pirates, The Magazine, Flying Cowboys, Traffic From Paradise...
You just named all my favorites, with the exception of The Evening Of My Best Day, which is wonderful.
Please please please " Danny's Allstar Joint". Please ...
Keep on that RLJ train!
Great reaction. Suggestion for more RLJ. Check out Flying Cowboys from her album 'Flying Cowboys' produced by Walter Becker of Steely Dan.
I'd love to see you take a listen to some Suzi Quatro.
Yeah, Chuck E's in love ....... with pizza.
You should review "Chuck E Weiss - "Boston Blackie" from 'Red Beans And Weiss' - April 2014". He was an LA institution. Sorely missed. Not that this is why I suggest this, but Johnny Depp comes out at the end. Any of his songs are better than most of the crap you have to watch for this channel. I hope you research him. He was from a special time in LA songwriting.
Chucky Cheese’s cousin’s in love. Burp.
Love her. Not ChuckECheese.
Pantages was a bar/club in LA.
Chuck E is a friend of hers back in the day. And she couldn't believe he fell in love.
Little bit before ChuckE Cheese, but maybe he stole the title lol
Willie weeks....
It's rap before rap.
We don't have to love every song. This is one of those that get in your head and you can't get it out! I think it's awful
I'm sorry I can't stand this song
One of the worst songs ever made, she slurs her words like she's on something. Hated it when it first came out, hate it still...........
