Girl at Her Volcano is a 10" or 12" vinyl EP consisting mainly of cover versions, and the third release by musician Rickie Lee Jones.
After touring through much of 1982 following the release of Pirates , Rickie Lee Jones released the Girl at Her Volcano EP. It contains three live recordings, a few new studio ones and recordings left over from earlier studio sessions. "Hey, Bub" was the first song originally written by Jones for Pirates in September 1979.
The live recording of "Something Cool" was not included on the original vinyl EP release, but on the Musicassette release of the same year and later on CD pressings. Earlier recordings of this song can be found on June Christy's 1954 album Something Cool , and Julie London's 1960 album Around Midnight (which features also "Lush Life"). Other cover versions on the EP include the Left Banke's "Walk Away Renée" (famously covered by the Four Tops), the Drifters' classic "Under the Boardwalk", the American songbook standard "My Funny Valentine" and the little-known Lani Hall original "So Long".
