Review : Ricky Lee Jones, 54, who won the Grammy for best new artist in 1980, puts the art in artist. Like Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell, she is an American original working in the singer-songwriter realm. Whether she does boho jazz, hip pop or experimental rock, Jones shows a consistent connectedness with her songs that make her concerts unpredictable, organic and exciting. On Thursday night at the Studio 105 of Radio France, the revered Los Angeles singer-songwriter gave the most intimate performance she's given here - and most special. Forget about the manic depression, the heartbreaks, the growing old, she was in her comfort zone and showed off a brilliant mind work. Bonus tracks included from WXPN-FM radio "World Café Live" (Philadelphia, PA, October 25, 2009) and WFUV-FM radio "Words & Music From Studio A" (New York City, NY, November 2nd, 2009).
