Pirates

Rickie Lee Jones

Sophisticated jazz-pop storytelling drives the narrative on this ambitious record. The songs focus on street-smart dreamers, with the title track providing a melancholic anchor.

Lush, orchestral arrangements define the high-budget studio production. The result is a masterclass in mood that reflects the cinematic style of the era.
