Today’s Rewind with Edie Brickell is a little different. There were two songs I wanted to share and I didn’t put any research into it or look up any other songs because it’s all about the two I had in mind. Everyone remembers Edie Brickell & New Bohemians for their song “What I Am” from their 1988 album Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars, and while that’s a great song, “Circle” was always my favorite. I think it still holds up.
I also loved “Nothing” because of the lines
“There’s nothing I hate more than nothing
Nothing keeps me up at night
I toss & turn over nothing“
So, that’s it. Just a little Edie Brickell for today. It’s good stuff. Enjoy your Sunday.
Nothing – Edie Brickell & New Bohemians


So what the hell happened to Ms. Brickell? I mean I know she married Paul Simon, but that’s all I know. Were there more records? Certainly the two songs that you reference are classic. I also loved her take on “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.” Bathe us in knowledge, Kerry!

This isn’t some VH1 “Where Are They Now?” I don’t take requests. Damn. You know I can’t turn down a challenge. I’ll blog it for you, my friend.
