I responded to Andrea's original post by saying that every time I hear
Norah, I think to myself, "I really should go and pull out my old Rikki Lee
Jones records."
My point was, I never did get around to buying the Norah cd. But I did
enjoy re-discovering Rikki's catalog (and I even bought two "official
bootlegs" from her website.) So FWIW, you can probably directly attribute 2
Rikki Lee units shifted to my exposure to Norah, but I still don't own the
Norah record.
Of course, I don't need to. I can't swing a dead cat without hitting
someone who wants to play it for me.
