Hardcore Edie Brickell fans have been enjoying the music she has been sharing with us the past few years over her Myspace page and her website. We've been blessed with almost two records worth of material, most of which I always felt were worthy of mainstream releases... so the time has finally come! I did not think those demos needed any tinkering because I loved how immediate they felt - all were very well written and introspective. So I am very pleased to report that the songs I have been lucky enough to hear in their early incarnations are not overly-produced here. A couple are exactly the same, while others have had arrangement changes that have only enhanced the original. Plus, half the songs I've never heard. Lyrically, Edie is at her best. "Pill" is an easy stand-out. It's very clever lyrically, and questions our society constantly looking for quick fixes... "they've got a pill for that," but reminding us of the side effects. "Always" is very upbeat with great piano playing. My favorite of the `newer' songs are "Bad Way" and "Waiting for Me." I'm still waiting for a couple of my favorites to get an official release, but the whole album is definitely worth a purchase or download. I hope she releases two CDs every year!! By the way, if you are looking for other recent Edie Brickell CD's, search for "The Gaddabouts" and "The Heavy Circles."

Edie Brickell is often thought of as "out of the scene" or a "one-hit-wonder". It's a shame. She has made more music since she has been "gone", than most of the artists that remained in the spotlight. And even more amazingly, she just keeps getting better and better.

Edie could release all of her demos and every little project she takes on and it would be all worthy.
More people should take notice.

Many of these songs have been floating around the internet for years, but most people have never heard them. It's about time they had the chance. "Pill" is an instant classic, showing Edie's sense of humour mixed with her natural ability to make catchy fun songs & melodies. "Give it Another Day", "Been So Good", "2 O'Clock in the Morning" and in fact every song on this album make you wonder why more people aren't familiar with the gift of Edie Brickell.

What's wrong with albums today? There's a shocking lack of music in most music. It's more personality than artist, more image than talent, more substitute than substance.
Didn't know this record was coming out today and I saw it featured on iTunes and then checked Amazon MP3 ($2 cheaper!). After listening through 2 song samples, I was hooked.
Loved her Ghost Of A Dog record with TNB in the early '90s, and this has a lot of the same sensibilities - great melodies and flowing, confident performances.
Think Norah Jones meets Aimee Mann meets a T Bone Burnett production. Charlie Sexton produces with a ton of tasty players throughout.
Anticipate being one of my favorite albums of this year even though we're only 11 days in!
