I just discovered Edie Brickell today and I love her. She’s the real deal.

[@ginogenero7972]

Edie exudes pure joy that I can feel when she sings.

[@richholoch8230]

Wow - this is my new favorite album - glad to stumble on it - better late than never! Agree with others - the bowed bass ties it all together - superb singing and playing by all.

[@zoferina]

Awe I grew up in Asheville, I've never heard this song before but instant tears. So wonderful

[@BeccaxxBoo]

Asheville is where I'm from as well

[@RickLongActor]

@@BeccaxxBoo You guys need to see this play...it's all about your hometown!

[@celesterosen-rooney7115]

Love you guys! Such talent

[@rubiks6]

Oh, my! That was enchanting.

[@mikeschiesel2852]

Just stumbled across this gem. This is truly something special.

[@vincentmckiernan4975]

I watched it again. Still amazing. PLEASE do not retire from playing music.

[@howards8535]

Totally captivating vocal. Outstanding performance🙂.

[@chrisjames3087]

That was really good.

[@jimholloway9850]

Great work. Thank you!

[@nellayema2455]

Sweet and sad at the same time. David nailed it--lovely performance, indeed.

[@greggriffin3422]

Hello!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!.. Stay safe!

[@nancyhanson3472]

This song was written by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell and is one of the songs they wrote for their Browdway musical called "Bright Star" which was nominated for a Tony award for Best Musical in 2016. I had the great pleasure of seeing the Los Angeles production of Bright Star when it went on a national tour in 2017. It is a wonderful show! If anyone out there is interested, one can put "Bright Star" Broadway musical in KZbin's search, and there are many clips from this show available, plus I found one full length, 2 hour complete version on KZbin also. Thanks to this channel for posting this.

[@flautalee3090]

Thank you for your comment. I’ll check “Bright Star” out for sure. I’ve been impressed with Steve Martin’s music for over 45 years! Ty!

[@brentmartindale1666]

We've seen it several times--once on Broadway, another at Hale Theater in Salt Lake City. Fabulous!

[@JamesNickersonThePhotoShopGuru]

Awesome 😎… absolutely love Steve and Edie … 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@johnkeith2450]

In 1983 I left a young woman in Lake Charles, I thought I needed more than what was there. And she never wanted to leave.....She married, had two sons and never left....I was a very small part of her life, and if she ever thinks of me, it is quite rare....I think of her most every day.

[@bbigphill38]

Love Edie, Love Steve, love this song, love cheesecake.

[@dmanstarr]

Can’t disagree on any of those. 👊🏼

[@c.blakerockhart1128]

This was ACTUALLY Mesmerizing. 😎🇺🇸

[@uptone12111]

This woman has been driving me crazy since the late 80's .I chased her tour bus outta Santa Cruz after a show once lol

[@blueridgejj]

Nice to hear Asheville in a song, along with Edie, Steve, and the Rangers. Just 10 minutes north of the city.

[@simonmultiverse6349]

Mmmm, you hear Nashville mentioned a lot more than Asheville.

[@simonmultiverse6349]

Then there's Cruelladeville, mentioned in an old, old Walt Disney story.

[@farrahslim6701]

Beautiful song

[@johnkeith2450]

I tear up every time I listen

[@avgjoe-cz7cb]

Edie has such a soft female voice. Easy listening. Pure almost...

[@johncox4273]

Beautiful ❤

[@francisbtube]

I don’t think Edie Brickell will ever see this comment, but beautiful dress Ms. Brickell.

[@rolfsolberg2853]

Indeed

[@tempieroberts4712]

It'll get back to her. 30-50years later.

[@johngifford7725]

She looks as good in anything she's ever worn.

[@timi7844]

Or, Mrs. Paul Simon.

[@AwesomeCakeGaming]

But not a real green dress.

[@klfrostmediallc334]

You can’t ever be depressed while playing the banjo! Oh death and sorrow…

[@andrwlr1]

I remember that bit!

[@michaelmccauley648]

Edie Brickell is a lovely woman. Back in the early 2000s, she released an album titled, “Volcano”. A couple of the songs from it have really stuck with me through the years - “Rush Around” and, especially, “What Would You Do?”. Definitely worth a listen.

[@nancyhanson3472]

Thanks for this information. I am going to look for that album and especially those two songs (probably on KZbin, I hope).

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Wow - great tune and great playing!

[@yahelsasson]

Awesome

[@cheesenoodles8316]

Excellent.... Wonderful...

[@thoughtsurferzone5012]

That is one wild and crazy guy.

[@bobbieolsen7264]

Lovely smile in a lovely dress, with money and formula you can produce a pretty nice ditty!

[@TheScunneredMan]

Nice one, nice one..... :-) :-)

[@soni8995]

Asheville.... ❤❤❤

[@MM-rr1kp]

this is letterman in his post-funny era

[@jerrypete3799]

Letterman's comment at the end of the song steals the show - wait for it !!

[@ncfatcyclist]

When you get to Asheville … you’re stuck in traffic 😐

[@martkell6469]

thomas wolfe's ashveville , yep

[@johngifford7725]

Alison Krauss sent me here via the Union Station.

[@reptalien_music]

When you get to Asheville....make sure you are armed.

[@alyvon777]

Steve, your banjo is magical! When the lead vocal comes in, would you be willing to help out with the vocals at the the chorus?! Reference begin @ 1:09. Thanks!

[@dmanstarr]

Do you honestly think Steve Martin is reading this?

[@alyvon777]

Is that the Verrazano bridge in the background?

[@andrewstoddard6724]

brooklyn bridge

[@joannehack7588]

[@joannehack7588]

[@joannehack7588]
