Editor's note

Edie Brickell's conversational folk-rock moments

The New Bohemians singer writes small, observed songs that feel like talk.

For her sound, try 'Came A Long Way' or 'Big Day, Little Boat'. They're good examples of how she frames small things plainly.

Her voice and lyrics gave late-'80s folk-rock a distinct, offbeat personality, especially on 'Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars'. A song like 'Came A Long Way' shows her knack for personal, melodic storytelling that doesn't try to be anthemic. It's music that feels like a quiet conversation, which has kept her work relevant through periodic albums over decades.

She first got attention with New Bohemians in 1988, with 'What I Am' hitting the top 10. After lineup changes and breaks, they kept recording, from 'Picture Perfect Morning' in 1994 to a self-titled album in 2018. The songs stayed in that folk-rock vein, often about everyday moments rather than big statements.

Archive material and source history

Edie Brickell first gained attention in the late 1980s with the band New Bohemians. Their debut album 'Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars' came out in 1988, featuring the single 'What I Am' that reached the top 10 on Billboard charts. The group's sound had a folk-rock quality, with Brickell's distinctive vocal delivery and conversational lyrics.

Brickell wrote songs like 'Came A Long Way' and 'Beat The Time' that continued in this vein, personal, melodic, and slightly offbeat compared to mainstream pop of the time.

After some lineup changes and breaks, Brickell and New Bohemians kept recording albums periodically, including 'Picture Perfect Morning' in 1994 and a self-titled release in 2018. Her songs often feel like small, observed moments rather than grand statements, with titles like 'Big Day, Little Boat' and 'But I Know I'll Be Fine Just As Soon As I Let Go' suggesting that everyday perspective.
