Brandi Carlile: The Story

While riding home from the cabin with my dad, an avid NPR listener, I heard an interesting feature on Brandi Carlile. Wise beyond her years, her voice is simply captivating. Her style invokes rock/country/folk. I loved hearing the stories behind a few of her songs. For example, the song Wasted on her latest album, The Story, is about her brother and how at the time she wrote it, she thought he was wasting his musical talent by not pursuing music, but now she realizes he doesn't share her passion for music. For her, she HAS to do it, but it's different for him. It's so amazing to me that she's 26! Must be a sensational feeling...

Picked up the album at Target last night. It's splendid.
