This is a truly great album from a true artist. This is one of a few albums that I listen to when I need a lift after a really tough stressful day but it's not just a bunch of feel good fluff. The lyrics are deep in a way that Edie really takes you into each song. Edie Brickell has done some good work since but she's never hit this level of greatness either with the other New Bohemians or without them. I really hope she gets back to her roots like this again in the future and gets back in the studio with New Bohemians. This is generation X music at it's finest.

"Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box, religion is the smile on a dog." These lyrics from "What I Am" on Edie Brickell's "Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars" CD, inspires light heartedness and hope in me. This nostalgic folky music has the power to free my mind and worries from the current, chronic economic recession. "This CD has a calming, playful effect on me." I owned the cassette when it first came out back in 1988, and now the CD soothes my soul! "I am so inspired that I am sure you too, will enjoy a little lift!" BUY It! Edie Brickell's "Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars."
Reminds me of simpler times I saw them a couple of small venues in Deep Ellum and once in a larger venue and took my Mom. It is a wonderful memory. This CD was stolen from me by an EX so this was the first time I heard it all at once in order. Music really bring back forgotten memories.

I had this on cassette years ago and listened to it non-stop. I bought it on CD and I love it as much now as I did 17 years ago. Edie Brickell's voice is beautiful and the back up music is very talented, reminiscent of Grateful Dead melodies. This CD goes for less than a dollar on e-bay. You can't go wrong.
Just like I remember the cassette; great meanings from a very talented singer. Top grade production. Smooth, easy to listen to type music.
