additional keys: Dave Palmer, David Boyle

Coinciding with these releases, Brickell will perform a special show with Iron & Wine on January 29 at Radio City Music Hall.
Produced by Charlie Sexton, Brickell began writing her self-titled solo album during her 2003 tour in support of Volcano. The solo record was then put hold to focus on The Gaddabouts, a new project featuring Steve Gadd, Pino Palladino and Andy Fairweather-Low. Both conceived of and developed throughout the past decade, the two resulting projects were only coincidentally finished at the same time. Of the synchronicity, Brickell notes, ''it's like a horse race; both projects are kicking in the stall and I gotta let 'em run.''
