Rickie Lee Jones began her meteoric rise in 1978 with the release of her star-making debut, followed by her seminal album, Pirates. Jones recently published her acclaimed memoir Last Chance Texaco, and her latest album Pieces of Treasure is a reunion with her lifelong friend, legendary producer Russ Titelman, who co-produced her first two records.  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.
