The legendary Rickie Lee Jones’ latest album Pieces of Treasure (2023) received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. The new album is a reunion with her lifelong friend, legendary producer Russ Titelman, co-producer of Jones’ star-making debut and Pirates.  Throughout her career, the Grammy-winning singer songwriter has interpreted an extraordinarily wide range of songs and has recorded celebrated jazz-leaning albums including Girl at Her Volcano and Pop Pop, but until now, she had never devoted an entire album to the American Songbook. “This album is as much about being human, the view of surviving—which means aging, and loving relentlessly—as it is about anything,” says Jones. Her acclaimed memoir Last Chance Texaco is out now.
