In a perfect world, everyone would know that Rickie Lee Jones has made a lot of great music since her 1979 top ten hit Chuck E.'s in Love. Brief aside: The Chuck E. in the song is drummer/vocalist Chuck E. Weiss, who was working with Tom Waits. Jones was in a relationship with Waits at the time, and all three were living at the Tropicana Hotel in Los Angeles. "Satellites" comes from her underrated fifth album, Flying Cowboys, produced by Walter Becker (of Steely Dan) and released in 1989. Her most recent recording is The Sermon on Exposition Boulevard, released in 2007.
