What I am - Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians

Edie Brickell attended high school at the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, and then attended Southern Methodist University for a year and a half. In 1985 she made the decision one night in a bar to get up on stage with a local folk rock group, New Bohemians. She joined the band as lead singer and the group became Edie Brickell & New Bohemians. Their 1988 debut album 'Shooting rubberbands at the stars' became a critical and commercial success.

The album's first single 'What I am' was written by Edie Brickell and Kenny Withrow. It peaked at number 31 in the United Kingdom, while reaching number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100. This limited edition single box set contained the 7" single and an illustrated poster with all the song lyrics from the album.
