LEGEND LIGHTS UP THE ENGLERT The legendary jazz singer Rickie Lee Jones graced the Englert stage for a once-in-a-lifetime performance Wednesday night. With a spot cemented on VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll, two Rolling Stone covers in the course of a year, and a couple of Grammys, Jones has had a career jam packed with critical and commercial success. The Daily Iowan’s Lily Goodman was on the ground at the Englert Wednesday, cataloguing Jones’s rare performance and talking with some of her longtime fans to get a sense of the true impact of her music. At times brash, brazen, and beautiful, Jones’s sound and perhaps most specifically her voice demonstrate the tempered and timeless qualities of music. SEE JONES , 8B
