Holy Americana! Legendary beatnik-pop auteur Rickie Lee Jones descends from the heavens with a stunning new album called The Sermon On Exposition Boulevard, her first for New West Records. Glowing with spirituality and creativity and carried by her fascinating voice, it’s a poetic opus inspired by the words and philosophies of Jesus Christ, adapted to a contemporary context. With titles like “I Was There” and “Elvis Cadillac”, it’s a major statement tinged with Velvets accents. Can we get an Amen?
