There are two numbers on Rob Wasserman's "Trios" album featuring Jerry and
Edie. One of them is entitled "American Popsicle." They're pretty far out,
and you can't help but love Edie's ethereal voice and skat singing. Really
makes you wish that paranoia from Jerry's then-significant other hadn't put
a stop to this promising collaboration (Manasha(?) thought Jerry & Edie were
messing around, so put her foot down. Sad.)

That was kinda dumb of her. Wasn't Jerry friends with Paul Simon, Edie's husband?
Was that Jerry on "What I Am" or was it a shameless wannabe with a Mutron pedal?

Jerry, Bruce, Branford Marsalis and Edie were going to completely improve
entire shows. Edie planned to get lyrical inspriration from the audience
before the show. Great concept, it would have been very interesting.

You asked for it. Edie joined up with most of her old Bohemian buds and jammed
in a band called The Slip. They recorded a demo but Geffen scraped the projects
because he heard no "hits". In `98 the New Bohemians all got back together and
our currently working on a cd. They've been gigging in Dallas the last couple
of months. They getting set to create an official web page at

In The News.....
Bohemians: Don't say 'reunion'
02/11/2000
By Thor Christensen / The Dallas Morning News
After drummer Brandon Aly finished writing a press release about the New
Bohemians' reunion show Saturday at Gypsy Tea Room, he faxed a copy to band
mate Edie Brickell and asked her to proofread it. "And she was like, 'AAAH!
Take that 'reunion' thing out of there!' " Mr. Aly says, chuckling. "So now
we're all trying to stay away from the 'reunion' word and look at it more as a
continuation."
Ms. Brickell had good reason for recoiling from the R-word: Rock reunions have
become a cultural joke in recent years, as dozens of long-defunct bands regroup
in search of a fat paycheck and an easy way to get back in the limelight.
"Any time a band gets back together, it's implied you're doing it out of
desperation or need," says guitarist Kenny Withrow. "But the only reason
we're doing it is that we want to."
The band's fans second that emotion. The New Bohemians' comeback shows in
October and December at the Tea Room were packed with loyal backers who'd
followed the Dallas group since its Deep Ellum gravy days in the '80s.
But while there has been enough interest in the New Bohs' reunion to
outweigh any skepticism, this "continuation" hasn't been an easy one: Breaking
up is hard to do, but getting back together can be almost as difficult, band
members are finding out.
Formed in late 1984, New Bohemians quickly gained a rabid grass-roots
following in the nascent Deep Ellum scene. Geffen signed the band in 1986, and
the jazzy, Dead-ish "What I Am" became a surprise Top 10 hit,
catapulting the 1988 disc Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars to
multimillion-seller status.
But in many ways, major-label success turned out to be a major headache.
Geffen coerced New Bohemians to change their name to Edie Brickell &
New Bohemians - a move that didn't sit well with their shy lead singer or her
band mates - and to fire Mr. Aly during the making of Shooting Rubberbands.
When the band's second album, 1990's Ghost of a Dog, failed to spawn any hit
singles, the band broke up. Ms. Brickell married rock legend Paul Simon, moved
to New York and began raising a family, and the other Bohemians scattered
around the country.
At the time, it looked like the end of the story. But by 1994, Ms. Brickell was
working again with Mr. Withrow and ex-New Bohs bassist Brad Houser on her 1994
solo CD, Picture Perfect Morning. And in November 1994, the entire New
Bohemians (including Mr. Aly) regrouped for two charity concerts at Trees.
A year later, Ms. Brickell formed the Slip with Mr. Withrow and ex-New
Bohs percussionist John Bush. More rock-minded and less eclectic than New
Bohemians, the Slip performed their new songs for a capacity crowd at Club Dada
and went into the studio to record an album. But Geffen didn't hear any hits on
the record and gave the Slip a pink slip, prompting the band to break up.
In 1998, as Geffen was putting together a New Bohemians best-of album,
Ms. Brickell approached her old band mates about recording two new tunes for
the disc.
"We were all, you know, pretty leery, to tell you the truth," says Mr.
Withrow. "We'd been bitten once or twice before, especially John and myself
coming out of the Slip, where we couldn't seem to please any record [company]
ears."
Nevertheless, the group convened in New York City and cooked up two
songs Mr. Withrow describes as "some of the best we've ever recorded."
Then came another setback: Geffen decided not to put out the best-of album
after all.
"It was typical Geffen fashion," says Mr. Aly. "But [the studio reunion] felt
good and we were like, 'This is cool - like old times.' So we decided to get
back together again."
Last summer, the five original New Bohemians convened at Ms. Brickell and Mr.
Simon's Long Island estate for five weeks of rehearsing, writing and recording
demo tapes. Palm Pictures, a new record label formed by former Island owner
Chris Blackwell, was so excited by the prospects of a New Bohemians reunion
album that they fronted the band money to finance the sessions. After a month
of jamming, recording and generally rekindling friendships, the group emerged
with a batch of new songs that everyone was excited about.
Then came more bad news. Palm Pictures listened to the tapes, didn't hear
any sure-fire hits, and told the New Bohs they were free to shop the tapes to
other record companies.
But Mr. Aly says the rejection "wasn't really that frustrating, because it gave
us the gift of empowering ourselves to go ahead and do it on our own, which is
probably something we should have been doing all along.
"For the first time ever, we can [make an album] that will turn out sounding
the way we want it to sound - as opposed to going through the pressures of
'Well, if you modify this, it'll be more commercially viable.' "
Sans a record label, the band plans to put out the reunion album on its own
and sell it through a New Bohs Web site and various Internet music stores.
But before they start marketing the CD, first they have to finish it - a
cumbersome task, since band members are spread out over three states: Ms.
Brickell lives in New York with Mr. Simon and their three young children; Mr.
Houser lives in Seattle; Mr. Bush and Mr. Aly (who has a young daughter) both
live in the Texas Hill Country; Mr. Withrow lives in Dallas.
Since October, the members have been meeting every two months in Dallas for a
three-day period in which they rehearse, record and perform at Gypsy Tea Room.
"It's a bit much, trying to cram it all into three days," says Mr. Withrow.
"I'm not totally convinced we're getting the quality we need. In the end, I
think we're going to have to put a month aside and go ahead and record an album
in a concentrated effort."
Yet despite all the hurdles and setbacks, the band is still thrilled to be
onstage again jamming for receptive audiences and testing out new songs such as
"Uh-huh," "Spanish Style Guitar" and the funky, New Orleans-influenced "Oh
Child."
"It is pretty slow going and we're juggling so many things. But the important
thing is it feels right," says Mr. Aly. "The magic is there, and rekindling
that is the greatest thing in the world to me."
Mr. Withrow agrees. "The chemistry is back, and people are reacting to
that," he says. " 'Full circle' is very cliched, but it's true. Everybody's
gone off and done other things, and now we're all coming back to
the same place and picking up where we left off."

I call him Trey....or Mr. Anastasio.
and I know Kenny Withrow was the guitarist for the New Bohemians,
but I also am pretty sure that much of the lead guitar on that first album was
played by Robbie Blunt, who is better known for his work on the first 3 Robert
Plant solo albums...
anybody know about this??
love on y'all

Yes. Her album w/ the New Bohemians, "Shooting
Rubber Bands at the Stars" has Garcia on it. He
is not credited in the liner notes. But you can
hear his solo on the popular radio song What I
Am. You can info in the book "Darkstar" by
Robert Greenfield.

This is WRONG!! I suppose Jerry Garcia played the solo on What I Am on the New
Bohemians demo recorded in `85? Jerry Garcia has NEVER recorded with the New
Bohemians.

Robbie Blunt played on one song on the album. He played secondary guitar on
"The Wheel".
