Comment: A Rickie Lee Jones cover album? I had hoped it'd be filled with jazz covers, Charlie Mingus preferably, but instead it is standard issue 1960s classic rock for the most part. Jamey Johnson's hank Cochran trib looks like a better concept. And as long as we are in cover land, I don't see how another Nick Lowe covers album to top the last one. I mean, Graham Parker's  version of "Rose Of England" is better than Lowe's original.
