| | Edie Brickell Shooting Rubber Bands At The Stars CD Edie Brickell Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
Edie Brickell & New Bohemians: Edie Brickell (vocals); Kenny Withrow, Robbie Blunt (guitar); Wix (keyboards); Chris Whitton, Brandon Aly (drums), John Bush (percussion); John Henry (background vocals).
The track "I Do" is not listed in the booklet or packaging of SHOOTING RUBBER BANDS AT THE STARS.
Edie Brickell begins SHOOTING RUBBERBANDS AT THE STARS with the naively all-knowing credo "I'm not aware of too many things/I know what I know if you know what I mean." From her flower girl looks, to her carefree, girlish vocals, Brickell suggests a musical persona straight from the '60s; but her well-defined lyrics and original music are very today, and not as vulnerable as might first appear. Edie's style is conversational, quirky--in a Rickie Lee Jones fashion--yet very personal, and extremely off-center. Her poetry is intimate and on-target. In "She" we meet a woman who "glows around you like a moon/She smiles at her reflection in a spoon/She reads expensive magazines/She sees herself in everything." In "Nothing" the sentiment is as simple as "There's nothing I hate more than nothing," and "The Air Of December" shows off Edie's best poetry.
The youth and innocence exhibited on this important debut is sturdy enough to stand the test of time. And it leaves us with the universal statement/question, "What I am is what I am, are you what you are, or what?"

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No What it is is what it is
This is a wonderful album from a group of very talented musicians and a gem of a lead singer. It is one of my favorites for several reasons. First of all, all of the songs are well-crafted. The musicians are top-notch and Edie Brickell is in a league all her own as far as vocal style. Unfortunately, after two releases the band broke up and Edie went on to marry Paul Simon. Edie, we hardly knew ya! Buy this CD. What it is is what it is - wonderful !

Shooting Rubber Bands At The Stars album
 $9.19    
Depeche Mode's American career took the British synthpop band from hipster curios to cult artists to teenage heroes to, with 1989's VIOLATOR, genuine alternative-rock superstardom. It's a majestic album that reflects the buildup of angst over a decade of playing; it stays true to the outfit's basic form while exploring new aural worlds.
The album contains three massive MTV hits, the unusually guitar-oriented "Personal Jesus," the more ...

In the late 1980s, Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians caught the nation's fancy with their neo-hippie folk-rock. Since parting with the band, Brickell's solo outings have been few and far between--one in the mid-'90s (produced by husband Paul Simon) and then nothing until this 2003 release. VOLCANO bears ...
