She was one of the headline artists on the music festival cruise we went on in February. I was not at all familiar with her until the night of her show. She comes out with just a cellist and opens with Elton John's "Sixty Years On." I was floored. Her covers were great, her own songs very very good, her voice amazing, her good taste and maturity -- the whole package just knocked me out. Her encore was a duet with Shawn Colvin (also on the cruise) of Jane Siberry's "Calling All Angels", followed by a solo performance of "Hallelujah." Both of those are overplayed I suppose, but they are still two of my very favorite songs of the past couple of decades and she nailed them. Wow!
Brandi Carlile
Just wondering if anyone has heard the new
Brandi Carlile album entitled The story. I am
playing it constantly and i can't believe this
album slipped under the radar for so many.She
is an excellent songwriter and has suprising
emotional depth for a 25 year old.Production
on the album could have been better (damn you T Bone
Burnett). Lol. However it's less noisy then Raising Sand.
It's also a much better album imho. Anyone who hasn't
heard it can check it out here:
