Just got back from seeing Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians. Well, more like Edie Brickell & The Aging Bohemians, still they put on a good show. She still has an amazing voice, a frighteningly cavernous mouth, and can't really figure out what to do with her body while performing. The band is well-practiced and long-time partners in music-making, and while they do look like they've put on miles they are clearly having fun.

I'd never seen her live before, and the last album of hers I purchased was published in 1994. Still, she played some new stuff I liked and of course several of her old hits from Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars: Air of December, Circle, What Am I, Love Like We Do, Beat The Time, and Nothing. Looks like she took a 9 year hiatus between the Picture Perfect album and putting out a solo-album in 2003 while she raised three kids with Paul Simon.
