iTunes Review
Brandi Carlile’s a young singer-songwriter with incredible range and a sense for drama that comes whipping through her third album, Give Up the Ghost. Produced by Rick Rubin, Ghost sits Carlile at centerstage. Guests such as keyboardist Benmont Tench, Red Hot Chili Pepper drummer Chad Smith (on two tracks) and master string arranger Paul Buckmaster (on one) are in low profile mode. Even “Pride and Joy,” the Buckmaster-featured tune that shares its sense of foreboding (and a few chords) with Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees,” is kept surprisingly mute as it reaches its climax. “Dreams” creates a small-band vibe that veers towards hard rock. “That Year” is a gentle ballad that allows her voice to stretch towards the sky. “Caroline” adds Elton John on piano and vocals and falls within his early-70s form. “I Will” serves as a personal affirmation with its repetitive, elliptical pattern. “If There Was No You” is a sweet, affirming love song with co-writer Phil Hanseroth providing a whistling solo.

My ears feel real good...
by music_gives_libertyThis album is just plain great. I just wish there was more.
Outstanding!!
by MARINESgtSaw her live with my wife and family at the Keswick in (Philly area) the night the album released. WOW!!!... incrediable such passion and emotion a true artist. I have to admit that I wasn't a fan before the concert, but now I'm sold. "That Year" and "Caroline" my personal favorites; they are more then just a story, they are a novel filled with personal experience that Brandi was good enough to share with us. God bless you Brandi and crew. Bye far the best concert I have ever been to and again I was not a fan before I saw her. Go see her LIVE!!!
amazing voice, amazing music, amazing album
by highlandhornDon't know why exactly, and it seems impossible given how good she sounds in her recordings, but after seeing her five times in the last two and a half years, I can agree with all of the posters here: Brandi Carlile is one of those rare artists that sounds better in person than on an album. That being said, this album is a must-buy for anyone that appreciates crystal-clear vocals, lyrics that actually mean something, and emotion that you can feel deep in your soul.
Love her, love this album.
