Carlile gets help from Rick Rubin and adds a winning sequel to The Story.Brandi Carlile's third full-length album, Give Up the Ghost, opens with a single strum and then the cuffed chugging of her acoustic guitar as the 28-year-old Seattle native starts singing in her warm alto. The song, “Looking Out”, builds to a soaring pre-chorus that shows off Carlile's remarkable power and range. The band

Last year when Jamie Cullum came to town, Brandi Carlile, opened for him. What a great surprise for all of us in the audience. Not only was she a great performer but her music rocked as well. Now we get a chance to see Brandi Carlile headline her own tour at World Cafe Live. She has already sold out this performance and the several other cities on her North American tour.Brandi Carlile, release...

It's official. Brandi Carlile has played World Cafe Live more than any other artist out there. Quite a feat for an artist who only has two records. After five times at World Cafe Live and multiple performances at other venues in Philadelphia, Carlile has gained enough fans to not only sell-out World Cafe Live but do it with standing room only. It was packed. It was the biggest crowd I have seen...

Brandi Carlile has done it again--she's made another album chock-full of good songs. Her voice has a similar timbre to Neko Case, but it makes me shiver like Gillian Welch. Her songs tend to the more upbeat than either of those counterparts, however. Give Up the Ghost has guests from across the music world and emerges as a new favorite in my current rotation. 1. This album opens with "Looki

Is stardom a prison for pop singers? Not for Brandi Carlile, whose raucous version of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" is a liberating anthem. Saturday night at Seattle's Paramount Theatre, the Maple Valley, Wash., singer-songwriter kicked off her encore with Cash's "Jackson" and "Folsom Prison Blues," turning a capacity, hometown audience into a seething, hand-clapping prison riot. "Folsom"...

I took a stroll over to Brandi Carlile’s “Lounge” here at MOG and lo and behold, the echo of my own footsteps was deafening.For basic Rock simplicity and “Sure-footed” backing from the Hanseroth Twins (Former Seattle Grungers) I find her sound quite satisfying.I’m still at loss to explain the less than Ho-Hum reception she’s received from Moggers and even those less musically sophist

This is ended up being a truely amazing album. Her voice is absolutely amazing. This album from the Washington-born singer/songwriter. For the Give Up The Ghost, Brandi worked with Elton John (on 'Caroline'), ber producer Rick Rubin, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers multi-instrumentalist Benmont Tench, drummer Chad Smith and Amy Ray of The Indigo Girls. Her last studio album, The Story (2007), ..

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the single album I am most looking forward to hearing in 2007 is the upcoming release from Brandi Carlile, which was recorded in 11 days and produced by T-Bone Burnett.Her self-titled debut came dangerously close to being produced and marketed like pop music, even though it really wasn't - several songs have been featured on Gray's Anatomy and one was...

Today's letter is B. Some choices that did not make it for this edition (but could make a supplemental B(b) post for upon request) are: Better than Ezra, Bjork, Blue October, and Brenden Benson.So the winner of today's spotlight is none other than Brandi Carlile (http://www.brandicarlile.com/). Somewhere on the same plane as K D Lang and Neko Case, Brandi Carlile isn't exactly alt-country. She ...

Everyone should go to iTunes and get Brandi Carlile's new song, The Story, because not only is it wonderful, but it is FREE. It's their single of the week, and that means it's FREE. Did you happen to read the part where I said it was FREE?I already spent .99 cents on it a couple weeks back, but the fact that it's now FREE does not make me bitter. Because it was totally worth it, and I'm happ...
