In Their Words: “For me, Rickie Lee Jones represents artistic fearlessness and uncompromising freedom. Her work always offers the inspiration to take risks and reach farther. Sheā€™s a deep musician and a serious student of song — I love her covers records so much — but sheā€™s also a free-range seeker, unhindered by the boundaries of genre. Thereā€™s such curiosity, joy, humor, and deep compassion running through all of her music.

“I donā€™t generally include covers on my albums, but while we were in the studio for this one we caught a version of ‘The Horses,’ and it ended up feeling like it belonged. I love how it resonates with the record’s themes, persistence and struggle and hope. And I love the idea of RLJā€™s presence gracing the proceedings like an honored guest, a patron saint.” — Kris Delmhorst
