书籍简介

这是一部温柔而亲密的回忆录，作者是音乐界最杰出、最具开拓性和最顽强的女性之一。

你见过琼斯女士吗?一个周末的晚上，在电视黄金时段播出的《周六夜现场》(Saturday night Live)上，一名当时还不知名的歌手在迅速发展的洛杉矶爵士流行乐坛扮演了重要角色，他的表演如今已成为偶像，一夜成名。那是在1979年，歌曲《Chuck E's in Love》中，这位戴着标志性红色贝雷帽的歌手很快被称为“库斯维尔公爵夫人”(Time)里基·李·琼斯(Rickie Lee Jones)。

用她自己的话说，德士古是有史以来第一部讲述洛克最努力工作的女性之一生活的书。里基·李·琼斯以她的坦率和抒情诗带我们踏上了她与众不同的人生之旅:从她的童年游牧的孙女杂耍演员演员她父亲的抛弃家庭和她年青少年离家出走,从她开始在洛杉矶的行吟诗人俱乐部与汤姆等待她的关系,她与药物,母亲作为一个旅游艺术家和长寿在摇滚乐作为一个女人。

这些都是关于这位戴着树莓贝雷帽的女孩的从未被提及的故事，她是一位对当代流行文化产生重大影响的词曲作家和表演者。

A tender and intimate memoir by one of the most remarkable, trailblazing and tenacious women in music.

Have you met Ms. Jones? One weekend night on prime time 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.

Last Chance Texaco is the first-ever account of the life of one of rock's hardest working women, in her own words. With candour 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, from her beginnings at LA's Troubadour club to her tumultuous relationship with Tom Waits, her battle with drugs, motherhood as a touring artist and longevity as a woman in rock and roll.

These are never-before-told stories of the girl in the raspberry beret, a songwriter and performer who has been a major influence on contemporary popular culture.
