Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians

In early 1988 I was still listening to 80's hair bands. I was fairly new to Dallas and finding my way in the city and without much thought listened to the same kind of radio stations I had listened to in Oklahoma City. Purely by chance I tuned into 94.5 The Edge in Dallas Fort Worth. Obviously I was a little late to the party when it came to discovering alternative music, but boy howdy, did I embrace the change. Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians were not the first alternative rock band that I loved, but when I look back at those early days in Dallas, the song What I Am, starts playing in my head. The New Bohemians were a local Dallas band. I never saw them play live (drat), but this CD was in heavy rotation in my home stereo and car. Alternative music was the soundtrack to some really great, fun years as a single working woman in Dallas and the New Bohemians and Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars were an integral part of that life.
