"One of the most intriguing, idiosyncratic vocalists of our time." --USA Today
One weekend night on primetime television, a then-unknown singer and vital part of the burgeoning Los Angeles jazz pop scene skyrocketed to fame overnight after a now iconic performance on Saturday Night Live. The year was 1979, the song "Chuck E's in Love, and the singer, donning her trademark red beret, was the soon to be pronounced "Duchess of Coolsville" (Time), Rickie Lee Jones.
Rickie Lee Jones: The Jazz Side of Life is the first ever no-holds-barred account of the life of one of rock's hardest working women in her own words. With candor and lyricism Rickie Lee Jones takes us on the journey of her exceptional life: from her nomadic childhood as the granddaughter of vaudevillian performers, to her father's abandonment of the family and her years as a teenage runaway, her beginnings at LA's Troubador club, to her tumultuous (and private) relationship with Tom Waits, her battle with drugs, motherhood as a touring artist, and longevity as a woman in rock and roll.
Including never-before-told stories and accounts of the music business as she's lived it, and illustrated with stunning personal photos, this is an indispensable chronicle of one of rock's strongest women, an innovative music icon who was listed at number 30 on VH1's "100 Greatest Women in Rock & Roll," has graced the cover of Rolling Stone twice, and who has been a major influence on contemporary popular music.

Lured to the village by the promise of a bag of gold and the sighting of a real-live mermaid, he joyfully accepts the invitation to play his piccolo and lute and lead the festival parade. When Merrylin, the mermaid, fails to break the bottle of sparkling water at the christening, a curse in the form of black clouds threaten, and a storm descends. The black clouds hide the arrival of Mudcat's pirate ship, The Pirate's Revenge. The sea god, Neptune, who brought the curse, must be appeased. When Captain Skip Jack finally broke the bottle, sharing half of its contents with the Neptune, the curse was lifted.

Описание:
After years of wandering across Europe, playing the fool, singing and strumming the lute for bishops and princes, as well as in the bawdiest of country taverns, I, Charles Coypeau Dassoucy, the last of the roving troubadours, have returned to Paris, my beloved native city. My once golden locks have turned to silver. I have four less teeth. My keen eyes now require the aid of Florentine spectacles. But on the plus side, I return with fifty rousing drinking songs, a collection of verses, and what's best, five hundred shiny gold pistols, which I managed to spirit out of the clutches of that murderous Duke of Mantua and his henchmen.

Описание: The world of the troubadours of medieval Provence--of Bertran de Born, Arnaut de Mareuil, and Peire Bremon lo Tort--always fascinated Ezra Pound and, as Stuart McDougal shows, provided both themes and techniques for his early poetry.

Описание:
While you may never meet Bill in person, you will get to know this man and want to know more about him as you turn the pages of his memoir.
Here is an excerpt from Chapter 1:
"There were no church bells ringing, no celebrations on that cold, winter day, December 11, 1929. It was just another day in the little community of Eagleton, Arkansas, which is near the town of Mena. Though located in one of the prettiest places on earth, Southwestern Arkansas, my family was more concerned with finding food and shelter for their family. There were already five children; I was the sixth child and another mouth to feed. Three more would follow in the next few years. I was named William Franklin Carter after my mother's father."
"Mama and Daddy raised us nine kids with a cook stove that had to have wood cut for it. We lived off the land, raised our own food and if we went to town, it was the team and wagon that took us there."
"It brings back such memories, for this was the life of the Carter family."
"There has always been a song in my spirit. When I was nine years old, I was riding in the back seat of my teacher's car where we all lived in Loneoak, Arkansas. I suddenly began to sing 'A Pocket Full of Dreams.'"
"My teacher said, 'William, I cannot believe what my ears are hearing; you are a very good singer for a nine-year-old kid; I'm going to get you on the radio in Little Rock. Sure enough, she kept her word."
"That lady teacher made arrangements for me to go to Little Rock the following Saturday to sing in a talent show on radio station KGHI. We arrived at Radio Station in Little Rock where I sang, "A Pocket Full of Dreams." A little kid from a poor family would identify with a song like that."
"My imagination was at work as the broadcast took place. This was a small step in the right direction for a little guy who usually went barefoot in the summertime and was often seen with only one strap of my overalls up."
"I have been asked the question many times as to when I started singing; that was the beginning of a career in singing that has spanned all these years."
"I somehow felt that one day that would be my life...and it was."
In Bill's memoir, he tells of rubbing elbows with other rising country music stars that reached the pinnacle of success. And finally, the dream of singing at the Grand Ole' Opry came true and a record label with MGM, the coveted title he had sought.
But God had other plans for Bill's life...
His story is a beauty of a testimony of God's great love for the soul of a man, as his open and honest memoir tells his journey through the pits of hell to the Kingdom of God.
He takes the reader through a journey of many roads traveled with his home-spun style of telling his story which makes you ask for more and at times brings laughter to your soul.
Within the pages of Bill's book, you will find the impact of one man - one story at a time as Bill takes you back in time, to a much simpler, faith-filled way of living.
Enjoy taking the journey through Bill's life with him. It is a story you will not forget

Описание:
Growing up in a Spanish American culture in the American West at the turn of the twentieth century invites assimilation, a process made all the more conflicted through the evolving stages of individuation and the tensions of political correctness and hyphenated identities: Anglo-American, Spanish-American, Mexican-American, Native American, and the subcultures of Stompers, Pachucos, Chicanos, Cholos, Indios, and Squares. This book contains a dozen interconnected stories set against these laminated ethnicities. Whether read as love songs or laments these soul stories all serenade the American Southwest and its allure as a landscape of adventure and romance during the transition from Old to New West. It is said that a land determines a people and is determined by them, a belief told lyrically and poignantly in these story serenades. Includes Readers Guide.
