Exquisitely captures Innocence, Love, Loss, and Rebirth.
May 4 2004
Format:Audio CD
Few albums come along that can truly capture a genuine moment, an emotion trapped in time that you forever associate with a certain time of your life. Ghost of a Dog is that album. I can still remember being in high school and having a crush on the kid that lent me this cassette tape and changed my life. That was 3 years after the album came out, in 1993 and I was 15 and confused. I used to take walks on the beach near my school and every now and then, close my eyes and look up to feel the sun beaming against the lids of my eyes just as a warm breeze gently touched me--that moment is captured in "Me By The Sea".
Here we are, 11 years later and Ghost of a dog is a cd which is now in my Ipod.
If you're a lover of breakup songs, they dont get more bittersweet than "He Said". If its yearning you feel, try "10, 000 angels" (come to me, I really want you...).
Ghost of a dog itself truly is a gem of an acoustic strum. Anyone who has ever suffered the loss of a pet will find this song both amusing and sad.
In my humble opinion, there are no weak songs on this album, but if i had to choos one, it would be the opener, "Mama Help me". Perhaps this is why the critics were not in love with it? As a whole, that song just doesnt mesh well with the others.
If your a constant lover of songs about Life, Love and Death, you must own this album. I can guarantee you will fall for at least half the songs on it.
"There's a big door with a little window and the whole world is peaking through...Lay your head on my pillow, I want to take care of you..."
A Great Release for us Edie Fans
Jun 18 2003
Format:Audio CD
If I remember correctly, critics and the public pretty much ignored this second release, which is their loss!! This is definitely their most eclectic release, but that's a big plus in my book. A lot of these songs are performed with wonderful acoustic soundscapes. "Times Like This" is beautiful, "Stwisted" is one of my all-time favorites, as is the beautiful and painful "Me By The Sea" - which reminded me a lot of myself back in those days. "This Eye" is really cool too. While I consider "Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars" to be their best recording, this second release actually contains most of my all-time favorite Edie recordings.

The Best of the Three
July 26 2003
Format:Audio CD
It takes a couple of songs to get into it, but if you're an Edie fan, you'll get it. This is a lifesaver album for me as Led Zeppelin was when I was a teen. The songs can relate with whatever's going on with you right now. It's hard to put my finger on my favorite song on this one, but I call her "Ozzy Brickell" on "Forgiven".
This is a very full album. Full of sound and soul, deep and whimsical at times. If you don't have it, you're missing out on something truly unique.
