There was quite a bit of grey hair, a few leather jackets, and plenty of love and peace.All were gathered together to take a fresh look at Rickie Lee Jones, a once-prominent singer-songwriter who is making a comeback with the release of her new album, “The Sermon on Exposition Blvd.” Jones first became...
