Jones had an immediate impact on pop culture, enjoying the massive buzz of an indelible SNL appearance and an instantaneous Rolling Stone cover, all while winning a Grammy for Best New Artist. Three decades' worth of acclaimed creative journeys have ensued with both her singing and writing "voice" remaining, despite her pervasive and incalculable influence on two or three entire generations of singer/songwriters, among the most distinctive and instantly recognizable in music. As evidence, March 7, 2010 a very special night in Stockholm, Sweden. Rickie Lee Jones - Live in Stockholm was filmed at the historic and regal venue known as Berns Salonger, built in 1862. With massive crystal chandeliers, gilded walls, and paintings of Swedish royalty throughout, Berns is a venue fit for a queen. Rickie delivered to a packed house the best of her catalog from her debut album all the way up to her latest release "Balm in Gilead": It Takes You There, Satellites, The Real End, Pirates, Bonfire, Chuck E's in Love, We Belong Together - it's all captured on this remarkable evening that no one in attendance will likely forget.
