Rickie Lee Jones: Bloomsbury Theatre, London
John L. Walters, The Guardian, 16 December 2003
NINE MUSICIANS stroll on to a stage packed with stringed instruments, keyboards, horns and percussion. Four of them are wearing hats, and under the coolest brim we glimpse Rickie Lee Jones, strumming the slow-burning intro to 'Lap Dog'. They play three more tunes from The Evening of My Best Day, her new album: the beautiful 'A Tree on Allenford', the Sly Stone-like 'Little Mysteries' and the nu-protest groove of 'Tell Somebody (Repeal the Patriot Act)'.
Total word count of piece: 322
