Last Chance Texaco
Rickie Lee Jones - Book - by Rickie Lee Jones
(2021)
This
troubadour life is only for the fiercest hearts, only for those vessels
that can be broken to smithereens and still keep beating out the rhythm
for a new song. Last Chance Texaco is the first-ever no-holds-barred
account of the life of two-time Grammy Award-winner Rickie Lee Jones, in
her own words. It is a tale of desperate chances and impossible
triumphs, an adventure story of a girl who beat the odds and grew up to
become one of the most legendary artists of her time, turning adversity
and hopelessness into timeless music.
With
candour and lyricism, the 'Duchess of Coolsville' (Time) takes us on a
singular journey through her nomadic childhood, to her years as a
teenage runaway, through her legendary love affair with Tom Waits, and
ultimately her longevity as the hardest working woman in rock and roll.
Rickie Lee's stories are rich with the infamous characters of her early
songs - 'Chuck E's in Love,' 'Weasel and the White Boys Cool,' 'Danny's
All-Star Joint' and 'Easy Money' - but long before her notoriety in show
business, there was a vaudevillian cast of hitchhikers, bank robbers,
jail breaks, drug mules, a pimp with a heart of gold, and tales of her
fabled ancestors. In this electrifying and intimate memoir by one of the
most remarkable, trailblazing and tenacious women in music are
never-before-told stories of the girl in the raspberry beret, a
singer-songwriter whose music defied categorization and inspired pop
culture for decades.
