Rickie Lee Jones will appear on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien on Tuesday, December 1 in support of her recently released album, Balm in Gilead. The album marks the 30th anniversary of Jones’ storied career and is material that she has worked on over the past 20 years. Jones talks about the making of the album in an interview and performance that will air on Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen on December 11 (www.studio360.org).
Balm in Gilead’s songs flow easily through its roots and soul fabric; it reflects the lifetime work of a woman, whose very name is a genre. The album features Ben Harper, Jon Brion, Vic Chesnutt, Bill Frisell, Victoria Williams and Alison Krauss among other highly talented friends.
