The Other Side of Desire is the thirteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Rickie Lee Jones. It was released on June 23, 2015, under Jones's own label The Other Side of Desire with distribution handled by Thirty Tigers. The Other Side of Desire is Jones' first album of original material since Balm in Gilead (2009) and it received positive acclaim from music critics.
Background
Jones began writing for the album when she moved back to New Orleans about two years prior and after on-and-off periods of writer's block. The album was recorded at the Music Shed studio in New Orleans with John Porter helming production duties. The album title is also a nod to New Orleans' Desire Street in the Bywater neighborhood.
