Review-Reviewed by Billboard A veteran, idiosyncratic troubadour takes the teachings of Christ and adopts them into song. Where have we heard that one before? But there's no "Slow Train Coming" for Rickie Lee Jones. "Sermon" is neither ministry nor born-again treatise—and it's a much more potent listen than most Sunday-morning addresses. Jones has taken tracts from the gospels, as cataloged by author Lee Cantelon in his book "The Words," and crafted songs that ruminate on faith and religion and finding a place for these messages in the modern world. It's a concept so heady and engrossing that it can obscure the fact that "Sermon" also rocks in a way Jones never has before, building from the Rolling Stones/Velvet Underground riffs of "Nobody Knows My Name," "Tried to Be a Man" and "Elvis Cadillac," which provides poignant commentary on modern deities. This "Sermon" is a real conversation piece.—Gary Graff
