​Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians (from the album Hunter and the Dog Star  available on Shuffle Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians first record in three years pushes beyond a hippie past. While there are some jam leanings, Hunter and the Dog Star is a dose of hip, multi-genre songs, hinting of electro and Funk, Soul, Rhythm & Blues, and dream Pop all come with a vision informed by the experimental. “Sleeve” opens Hunter and the Dog Star with a slick, Indie Psychedelic Prog rhythm as the soothing Edie Brickell vocal counts off the number of tattoos on her character arm. 
“Don’t Get in the Bed Dirty” is a funky club cut, “I Don’t Know” pulls from the modern, jam band playbook, and “Stubborn Love” is a soulful groover of 21st Century R&B.  Edie Brickell’s vocal and vocal ability is highlighted in the fun “Tripwire” as she scats to a New Wave beat as the festival-friendly and Rootsy “Horses Mouth” features The New Bohemians ripping keyboards and guitar backing Brickell’s wisdom of ‘if you don’t hear it from the horse’s mouth, you’ll hear it from the horse’s ass’. “I Found You”, “Miracles”, and “Evidence” are a package of psychedelic Folk that sets up the dramatic album closer of “My Power.” Brickell is aging with grace and Hunter and the Dog Star proves Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians aren’t afraid to stretch out. While there are some nods to their groovy nineties, Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians are not relying on past success as the band embraces and experiments with the right now. (by Bryant Liggett)
