Go back to 1979, a time of arena rock, disco, punk and too many sappy singer-songwriters. Along comes this breath of fresh air mixing pop, rock, jazz and scat singing. Everyone else zigs and she zags supported by her equally maverick boyfriend, Tom Waits.
The song title refers to the third wheel in the Waits-Jones relationship, Chuck E. Weiss, who feel madly in love and chased a woman to Denver. Jones has some fun turning this into gossip worthy news.
She’s till out there singing, brining joy and insights, even published a memoir in 2021, “Last Chance Texaco: Chronicles of an American Troubadour.”
