Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
Deuxième album de la bohémienne chantante de Los Angeles, Pirates révèle les nouvelles profondeurs émotionnelles atteintes par Rickie Lee Jones. Moins accessibles certes que les chansons du premier album éponyme, les morceaux se révèlent plus aboutis dès lors que l'on prend la peine de les écouter attentivement. Aux confins du jazz, du folk, de la tradition du cabaret et du rock, les titres sont dotés de structures ouvertes qui forment un contrepoint idéal à ces portraits saisissants de la vie de bohème américaine chantés avec conviction. -- Florent Mazzoleni

Music for the stoop,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pirates (Audio CD)
I was seven years old when this album came out. I wish I could say I grew up listening to Rickie Lee, but that would be a lie. I didn't discover her until high school. But to me, this album still conjures that time perfectly - hanging out on the stoop in West Philly, playing in the sandbox, Sesame street, all the shaggy-haired hippies entering the 1980s, all of it! An old friend from a nearby neighborhood has memories of roller skating around the dining room to this album and wondering what c**t-finger Louie meant. Listening to Pirates is like reading Jack Kerouac for the first time when you were a teenager. It's that bittersweet, highly romantic, pulsing-with-life thing that is just intoxicating. There is no better feeling in the world (although there are a few close contenders). The difference is that Pirates does it to me every time, whereas I could only read Kerouac a few times before it became a little stale.Every part of this album is perfect, down to the romantic picture on the cover. The production is simply amazing. Those analog synths twist my insides up. Sometimes I just can't take it! I am moving to the New Mexico desert in a few months, so Flying Cowboys will probably be spending more time on the record player. But until then, it's all about Pirates. I can't believe that one person made both of those albums. What a gift.

Another gem, moving away from the fans....,

I was so eager to get this when it first came out. I was someonedissapointed at my first listens but it has grown on me over the years, so many songs on the sad side but riveting and mature with the quality of what Steely Dan was putting out at the time. I just loved the fun coolsville Rickie and missed it on this collection.

fantastic music,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pirates (Audio CD)
I was first introduced to "Pirates" when I was a teenager and my dance instructor used "Woody and Dutch" for one of the dances she taught to us. I fell in love with it immediately, and when I went on to college I saw to it that I had my own copy of the entire album to take with me. It's one of my favorites to this day (especially "Skeletons"-- what a moving song!!!); to me, it's as if the actual lyrics to the songs are a bonus because the mood of the music and the expressiveness of it and Jones' voice tell me everything I need to know-- that's just how strong the writing is. There's this contrast of tough and vulnerable that flows through all of it that just gets to me. It's is the epitome of bittersweet. An earlier review called it a movie, and that's one way to think of it. The dancer in me always thought it would be cool for someone to create an entire ballet out of it. In any case, "Pirates" is a beautiful work of art.
