EDIE BRICKELL & NEW BOHEMIANS

EDIE BRICKELL & NEW BOHEMIANS
SHOOTING RUBBERBANDS AT THE STARS (1988)
320 KBPS

"What I Am," the leadoff track on Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars, was a left-field hit off this Dallas band's debut album, and it remains about the only thing they're remembered for (excepting Brickell's eventual marriage to Paul Simon). But a good part of this album is quite listenable and stands up reasonably well to the years. "Love Like We Do," "Little Miss S." and "The Wheel" are basically equal to "What I Am" in their rhythmic and melodic pop appeal; "Air of December" and "She" allow the band's more jazz-oriented roots a little room to flourish, and the poignantly personal ballad "Circle" remains the best lyric Brickell has written. It was all downhill from here, but Shooting Rubberbands was an early peak worth revisiting.

This bring back very good memories... Air of December is an outstanding track, IMHO.

Thanks!
