It's Like This is an album by the American singer/songwriter Rickie Lee Jones, released in 2000. [7] [8] Like her 1991 album Pop Pop , it is a covers record. [9] [10] The album was nominated for a 2001 Best Pop Traditional Record Grammy Award. [11]
The Washington Post wrote that "the album's most successful track is Jones's sinewy reading of Steely Dan's edgy missive, 'Show Biz Kids', [which] kicks off with just terse triangle and Richard Davis's snaky bass, with Jones tapping into the caustic detachment and cool cynicism the song's writers always intended."
