Edie Brickell & New BohemiansRocket

Loose, jangly, and sun-dappled, a reunion that sounds like old friends jamming on a porch. Brickell's airy, conversational drawl floats over the New Bohemians' easy roots-rock groove, warm and unforced throughout. There is no straining for relevance here, just supple playing and breezy charm. A laid-back delight that ages like a good afternoon.
