Ha, ha, I found this same song on this link http://www.radioparadise.com/rp_2.php?#name=Music&file=songinfo&song_id=39129 It has a 7.5 average, so the audience found the other "version" a bit better...

So nice to hear this song.  It really is timeless, because it lacks ANY of the affectations that are in so many 80s and 90s songs.  Guitar, bass, shuffly drums and a pure vocal.  Would fit like a glove in any decade from 60s to present day and not sound weird.

I think Tana has it right. Paul Simon stole her mojo.

For the record, was not Edie Brickell doing quite well BEFORE she met Paul Simon? Seems her career went downhill AFTER she married him and started having babies, even tho Simon did some producing for her.

Love this album and Ghost of a Dog.  Makes me wonder why it has taken until just now for me to look and see she has several albums I've not listened to.  Something to look forward to I hope.

I already have this album somewhere on cd (not yet burnt to digital) I don't remember ever listening to it after the 1st play after I bought it. . . I should dig it out and give it a go on the basis of this.

Great song.  One of my favorites.  I love Edie!
I saw her in Deep Ellum before her career took off...the band was great back then.

They have kept their relationship as private as possible, from the beginning.

Sorry, never saw your reply till just now....

They were called New Bohemians as the 3-piece.

I graduated from NTSU in 1984 btw and went there on and off from 1977.  In 77 I was part of an original acoustic group called "Road".  We played for free (meaning didn't get paid) at some of the clubs around Hickory & Fry.  I lived in a house on Sycamore Street whre we'd rehearse or just play for free.  Good times.

The band I was in in Dallas in the mid-80's was called Like Normal People.

 
Hey, woozurbuddy!  I'd be very surprised if we don't know each other from the Denton or the Deep Ellum days.

I love this because it takes me back so far. I saw Edie Brickell in concert at Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh when I was in 7th grade. It's a rare artist with whom you can trust your 13 year old. I guess today I would have gone to a Hannah Montana concert? Nah...

Hey, who were ya? What was the name of the 3 piece?

We used to be so thrilled to see the New Bo's play the tiny Library Club in Denton. Edie was always at least an hour late, but well worth the wait. Good times, dancing like sardines in a little sweaty room.

Hey Bill, will you change the band name to New Bohemians on this one? It's not just Edie.


I see Bill added New Bohemians, but I remember an interview with her way WAY back in the day (I bought this CD) and she seemed annoyed that people called her band "The New Bohemians." She emphasized that it's "Edie Brickell & New Bohemians." No "The."

So there.
