Product Description
From Amazon.com
The Brandi Carlile story so far is fairly short: fresh-faced singer-songwriter 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
Album Description
Enhanced UK pressing of the American singer/songwriter's 2007 album features unique artwork and four bonus tracks: live versions of 'Downpour' and 'Josephine' plus enhanced videos of 'Turpentine' and 'The Story'. On The Story, Brandi Carlile opens up her heart, soul, and psyche in a series of memorable songs that invite you into her world. The intensity and authenticity of her music brought her to the attention of the Grammy Award-winning producer T Bone Burnett (Counting Crows, Roy Orbison) who came on-board to produce The Story. 17 tracks. RCA. 2008.

I will play this forever...,
This review is from: Story (Audio CD)
I have The Story on my ipod and probably listen to it at least twice a week, especially when I am driving. It isn't one of those CDs where you skip to the few songs you prefer. I enjoy every piece of music. Brandi's voice is raw and gritty and she has a marvelous range. I bought this copy of The Story to send in my son's Christmas parcel to B.C. I hope he loves it!

Bought this CD for one song thanks to Grey's Anatomy and ended up enjoying all the songs. Great singer, will be adding her to my collection.

I now wait 'till I listen to an album at least 12 times (instead of 5 or 6) before I comment on it! Sometimes I love or dislike an album more after a dozen listens (I regret some of my earlier comment/reviews!)! Well with Brandi Carlile's first album I like it better with each listen. I would describe her music as folk country and her songs have a rawness and honesty about them that makes them sweet but gritty too. And that voice! If you crossed kd lang, Patsy Cline and Jeff Buckley you may just get Brandi Carlile! I just love her voice that can be so powerful and expressive. I'm not normally a country music fan but I find that I love her country twangs and "yodels" (I don't know how else to describe it!). I'm looking forward to buying her new album out in April and seeing her and the twins live! Sometimes you hear a musician and you know that person was born to do what they do because it comes so naturally, like breathing, to them. I feel that way about Brandi Carlile.
