Product Description: The Brandi Carlile story so far is fairly short: fresh-faced singer-song writer from rural Ravensdale, Washington, quietly releases a 2005 debut that has critics and fans reaching for their thesauruses searching for appropriate adjectives to describe her voice. Patsy Cline, Jeff Buckley, kd lang, Beth Orton, Linda Ronstadt, and Aimee Mann get name-checked as Carlile and her guitar-and-bass-playing Hanseroth twins-led band criss-cross the country for two years, first as openers, then as headliners. Cue the overproduced, disappointing follow-up album? Not so fast. On The Story, Carlile teams up with veteran roots producer T Bone Burnett, who brings in vintage equipment and strips down her sound. Instead of using overdubs, the new songs--most of which were already road-tested--are recorded live, giving the ballads and midtempo rockers a tough, uncompromising edge and a fuller, more aggressive attack. Echoes of country and folk color the bucolic "Have You Ever" and the unadorned acoustic "Cannonball," but it's the sweeping drama of the more epic-sounding "Until I Die," "Late Morning Lullaby," and the U2-styled "My Song" that leave the greatest lasting impressions. Carlile and Burnett make a perfect team: he allows her malleable voice room to soar in the mix while she brings sharp original songs that exude confidence, pride, and emotion. It's a combustive combination and one that results in a sophomore release every bit as good, and in many respects better, than her first. Stay tuned as the story continues. --Hal Horowitz Brandi Pics

Customer Reviews
nice, melodic
I am 45 years old and maybe too old fashioned. My best kind of modern musics ( as opposed to classical musics) are those of the 50's, 60's, and early 70's. I have most musics of the 80's superficial, and those afterwards just not memorable, including U2. But I must say I like all of the songs of this disks. Both the lyrics and the melodies are nice. The titled song, The Story, though is the least well performed. Brandi's diction is terrible. The songs overall are not well crafted as those good oldies. Yet, I have found listened to these many times. This is my first introduction to Brandi Carlile, and I intend to buy another disc to find our more about her and her band.

Brandi Carlisle
I picked up this CD because I heard a song from it on a Chevrolet commercial. I found the rest of the songs to be equally wonderful. Great artist.

Brandi Carlile
My interest in "The Story" started during the Summer Olympics with a haunting voice, for a very institutional General Motors commercial. The same voice could be heard on a few re-runs of Grey's Anatomy. The GM website was very accomodating in providing a web jump to "The Story". The music written and performed by Brandi Carlile brings an appreciation for her range and skills as a singer. A type of CD that you'll play over and over again, because so many of the tracks are wonderful.

Love this CD!
A friend sent me a link to listen to a song on the CD and I loved it so much I purchased the CD right away. I have not stopped listening to it for a month now. It is a great CD. Thank you AMAZON:)

WHO IS THAT?
While watching the Olympics from China, I kept hearing one song over and over again; in the backgraoud of an auto commercial. Every time it played I found myself asking, "Who is that?" Determined to find out, I went to Amazon and tried to find "I was meant for you," which I hoped was the title of the song. Somehow, even though the song is actually "The Story," up popped Brandi Carlile. I ordered the album, and was not disappointed. It is beautifully produced and performed. All the songs are interesting and unique. I still love "The Story," but "My Song" has become my favorite. This is a great new, (to me anyway,) talent; and the album one of my absolute favorites.
