"Black and Blue" comes off Ghost of a Dog, the 1990 second album from Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, and it's very much a band record: the music is credited to six people, Brickell alongside Wes Burt-Martin, John Bush, Matt Chamberlain, Brad Houser and Kenny Withrow, with Brickell writing the words and singing lead. Where the debut had leaned on session players, the New Bohemians play all over this one, here with Houser on bass, Chamberlain on drums and Bush on percussion.
Tony Berg produced and Bob Clearmountain mixed. The album hid a little puzzle in its lyric sheet, one word per song missing a letter, the missing letters spelling out its title in order. It sold about 500,000 copies, and after the tour that followed, the band went on an indefinite hiatus.
