I have just been loving her new album after YEARS of waiting...




I just came across this article on CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/S...index.html

Any other Edie fans around here???

i love Edie! Ghost of a Dog is a classic album.

JonSnow said:

that it is...one of my favorites!

I like Edie, never went past "What I Am" though.

Think I'll check this new release out.

74...you!!...you!!

i was just thinking of starting a thread on this album...


IT IS HER BEST!!! i read a review with the following statement:

"who knew that edie's annoying texas twang would mature into a beautiful jazz-like execution"...


so true...i love this album...and if i didnt leave the disc at work I would tell you which is my favorite..

"and when she crys alls night..and when she crys all day"..

what is that song? i listen to it none stop..(and probably am still getting the lyrics wrong )..

im bliss!!

I never thought her twang was annoying, but this quote is right in the fact that her voice has matured in an AMAZING way!

sosgemini said:

I think that's "The One Who Went Away"

I've been hung up on "Once In A Blue Moon" myself, but the whole album is simply gorgeous!


I'm glad I'm not alone in this!

i don't have the new one yet - i'll probably pick it up this weekend. i've been wanting it really bad, not sure why i've slacked on it.

JonSnow said:

Do it! (you too, Nothinbutjoy!)

it makes lovely "relax before bed music"...so that's what I'm gonna go do!

I used to play Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars constantly. I won tickets on the radio to see their show when they were touring with Ghost of a Dog. I wasn't into the Third cd though, can't even remember the title. Sounds like this one might be good.

Air of December fricken RULES!

I got fixed up with my wife because we both love this album so much.

I love this quote: "I really thought I could give it up," she said in an interview with The Associated Press. "But I really love music, and having a creative outlet is really the best thing you can do for yourself."

I KNOW that's right!

VinaBlue said:

God, yes!! The first few stanzas alone are sooo sublimely visual.

That song makes me deeply nostalgic for past love whenever I hear it.

Lammastide said:

I swear I remember it that way

I sang Circle in my voice class that year.

Ah, the memories...

JonSnow said:

10,000 angels is my Jam! I do love that whole album.

i keep meaning to get this and keep forgetting.


too many afternoon cocktails...

sinisterpentatonic said:

I love that track and America and well, the whole rest of the album!

VinaBlue said:

The 3rd CD (Her 1st 'solo cd') was Picture Perfect Morning. It was okay, but VERY adult contemporary/easy listening bland. This new cd really feels like she's moved back to her roots.

ps- Air of December and Little Miss S are my fave "rubberband" tracks!

pps- that quote you referenced is awesome, that's what stuck with me from the article!

darin...i am soo glad that you told me about this cd.
i have been listening to it in the morning when i wake up...and at night if im relaxing taking a i just love it!! i mean...i love edie brickell to begin with...and to have this album out is just awesome! its a great album! its happy and mellow
it hasnt left my cd player in over a month

looks like the "one star bandit" is at it again!

i just listened to that song so i knew which one you were talking about...


beautiful...

what about Volcano? Ohhh...I am swooning...

I have my whole office loving this album...

sosgemini said:

keep up the good work!

i went onto some site and sampled the first 30 secods of each song. unfortunately, i wasn't impressed with what i heard. now, i realize 30 seconds is nothing...i mean, sometimes the vocals hadn't even begun yet. but, i'm too broke to throw down some cash on something. is there an edie site that has better samples?

VinaBlue said:

Wow! Not only do I love Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars, but I actually bought it for "Air of December"! I actually created a mellow mixtape back in the day that included the song as well.

My college roommate (freshman year) used to play that album a lot, otherwise I might not have heard of them until all the rap groups started sampling "What I Am".

one of my favorite concert experiences ever was Edie and the band during the Ghost of a Dog tour. They played at my college, it was a very small venue. Such an amazing vibe. The audience and band connected on a level that i've rarely seen at a show. When she did Circle it was very quiet, and everybody in the room sang along... it was very moving... they rocked. Edie is an amazing singer/songwriter. Ghost of a Dog didn't do well on the charts, which is a shame cause it's one of the great albums of that period, in my opinion.

My god I didn't think anyone loved the shooting rubberbands as much as I do.

air of december
little miss s
love like we do
Nothin
Circle
Wheel
I Do

all that shit!

right on yall. each and everyone of you is like, 50 points cooler now.

this album just keeps getting better and better every listen...
