Look Out Now, the sophomore album from The Gaddabouts, features renowned songwriter and musician Edie Brickell alongside Steve Gadd, Pino Palladino and Andy Fairweather-Low. The Gaddabouts have been declared an, ''...all-star collaborative...'' by Time Out New York, while Relix says of their 2011 self-titled debut, ''...Brickell's playful, finely honed lyrics, smooth honey-toned vocals and the band's mostly laid-back grooves make every track shine.'' Moreover, last April, the quartet made their live debut at Carnegie's Zankel Hall as part of the WFUV concert series.
The 19-song, double disc album was recorded in New York City in April and July of 2011. Highlights include the opening track, ''Meat On Your Bones,'' which was composed and recorded spontaneously. In Edie's own words, ''The song was a true improvisation, spur of the moment. Steve chose to start the record with this improv because it feels great and sets the tone for a playful band dynamic heard throughout the album.''
