Rare CD: Bricklin

Bricklin emerged from Philly in the late 80s, named after the siblings Scott and Brian Bricklin. This is a very rare, out of print CD that easily goes for $50 or more on ebay, when you are lucky enough to spot it. I have yet to get my hands on a copy - leave a comment if you can help!

You can download the songs (and other fine work by Scott Bricklin) from this web site

Bricklin also had a minor hit on the soundtrack to "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" called "Walk Away." Afterwards, they formed Martin's Dam and released two CDs (some of the tracks are redone): "The Healing" (1995, Paulstarr Enterprise) and "Sky Above" (1998, Hybrid). The latter is easy to find, but the former is more difficult to locate. I have both and rank them very favorably. Outstanding melodies, great harmonies, and not so stupid lyrics. One day I'll have to give each release a proper review.

Scott Bricklin also worked in the band 4 Way Street to release a CD called "Pretzel Park" (2003, Sanctuary Records). It is an easy find, and worth picking up. The band's name is homage to the classic Crosby-Stills-Nash album. The songwriting and harmonies are very reminscent of CSN. Scott Bricklin (myspace) is now pursuing his solo career...I'd be interested in hearing if anyone knows an update!

UPDATE (11-2-07): "Bricklin" sells for $102.50 on ebay today.
