It's been three decades since Rickie Lee Jones released "Chuck E's In Love" and "Coolsville," and while the songs made her an overnight sensation, her career has never burned out. Jones has been constantly exploring new genres in her music and new depths in her songwriting.

Last week, she sat down in Studio A with me to talk about her latest album, Balm in Gilead, which explores her familial and spiritual roots. Rickie Lee also talked about her deep connections with her fans.
