On the eve of their first ever tour together,Rickie Lee Jones & Madeleine Peyroux have released a politically charged video that addresses women's rights along with a host of human rights issues to accompany their newly recorded cover of David Essex's "Rock On".
Jones' note when the video was posted read as follows: "Standing up to Intimidation, women march. Offering respect in a disrespectful climate, women fight for their rights, living, and rising in the dangerous world in which we live. this song is a tribute to US!"Rickie Lee Jones exploded onto the pop scene in 1979 and has made a career of fearlessly experimenting with her sound and persona over 15 critically acclaimed albums. A cultural phenomenon, Rolling Stone magazine put her on its cover twice in two years, and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE gave her an unprecedented three songs for her second appearance. Rickie is both a character in the songs and the songwriter singing, defying convention with her sometimes brazen sexuality and the mixed bag of jazz, rock and what has come to be known as 'confessional' songwriter performances.
