Doesn't stand the test of time
I used to love this album. . at the time, everyone did. I worked at a Tower Records when it came out and everyone in the store played this on their "register shift". . . over and over and over and over. Yes, it got old. About 5 years later, when I was doing my student teaching with high school kids, they were playing it too. . . Ok, so 5 years or so forward, and still holding its own.

However, just the other day, I decided to play this album as I hadn't listened to it as a whole in years. The surprise for me? I couldn't make it past three songs. I found it grating and sophmoric. Don't get me wrong, I appreciated it at a time, and at the time, it was fun, refreshing and unique. However, 20 years have passed and I have discovered so much more musically over the years. . . so much more has happened musically.

It may have been interesting to see how Edie progressed as a solo artist (however, I have seen her on a few late shows over the past few years, and. . . not so much). What did Edie do? Edie married Paul at her supposed "peak". I think that her creativity and potential may have matured and progressed over the years, but we all make choices in life. Unfortunately, I can now only give this album 3 stars for sentimentality. It served a purpose once, but it's no long standing masterpiece.


excellent, excellent, excellent - edie's voice like an old friend
The Amazon review underrates it. This is an excellent album, with thoughtful and intelligent lyrics, incredibly catchy tunes, Edie's voice hip, tough and sensitive at the same time - a kind of sexy wistfulness that's as frank as it is meloncholic. Edie Brickell's first album is great through and through. It's no wonder that it was the success that it was. One of the gems of the late 80s, with a spiritual tone more akin to the 90s.


Wonderful inspiring just like a breath of fresh air
I loved every little second of this entire album. I had bought the album back in the early nineties, before the cd era. It s the simplicity and the shoeless free spirit feeling this album inspires. I absolutely enjoy listening to Edie Breckel s little voice.


Scratched
I contacted the seller and he offered a full refund of . The CD is to scratched to upload onto my ipod. 01 if I sent it back to him. I guess he made a couple of bucks on postage from me, but duhhh, I'm not going to pay another buck to send it back to him and get . 01 back and then he could send it out to another unsuspecting person. I think he should have offered to send me another CD since he had to know the CD was bad. .


mellow collection of folk music.
edie brickell and the new bohemians are an excellent band that came out quite some time ago and this was the first (at the time casset tape) cd then came ghost of a dog but I digress. . this is my favorite cd by edie because it is truly a relaxing and mellow collection of folk type songs with a bit of a modern flavor to them. and her voice is almost mystical on some of the songs like "air of december and Circle" both of which are my fav's. buy this cd if you are looking for relaxing hippie style folk music that will sooth both the nerves and the soul.

and relax! you can buy it here from this link!
