![]() ![]() I can only hope that for myself-but in order to do that, he can’t be in the process. I’m very proud of him-proud to be associated with an artist who continues to evolve. Even though I love and admire his work, and I feel that, of his generation, he has truly evolved-and I can’t say that for all. It’s that evolving into your own, and that’s extremely important to me, to have that and to try to get into that sense of self-discovery. I’m very private about showing him anything because, to me, songwriting is a very spiritual kind of practice. You know, I think the greatest influence-Paul has not heard either of these records. He would elevate you to be the best that you could be. You just felt onstage and on tape he would never let you down. He was like my musical sidekick I just turned to Carter for everything. He understood my personality and what I was trying to express so well and then carried it to the next three levels up. His piano on “Always” and “Two O’Clock in the Morning” seems to affect the tenor of those songs so much. One of your band members, Carter Albrecht, was killed.

In 1988, the jam band Edie Brickell & New Bohemians had released one of those songs that doesn’t seem to sound quite like anything else: “What I Am,” which managed to come across as somehow both defiant and laidback-partly because of Brickell’s natural manner and her tendency to slide, as if lazily, off a high note.īrickell married Paul Simon, whom she met on the set of Saturday Night Live, in 1992 and has since been busy raising a family, but it turns out that she’s never been far from a guitar or a group of musicians to collaborate with.
