Average Rating:
 Rating: - A Measure of Vintage BrandiWhat are you thinking? "Oh no, not another female singer-songwriter!" I know, I know, they're everywhere aren't they? There were five on my bus this morning. But if some of them (including some of the higher profile ones) are pretty formulaic, or plain rubbish, Brandi Carlisle is well up the quality scale. To me this could be an album made by Beth Orton after a boozy session with Bonnie Raitt backstage at a Paul McCartney gig. So you get folky pop-rock with an abrasive element. It's pretty accessible, no bad thing, and not forgettable. Brandi Carlisle here shows good old-fashioned songwriting and performing skills. No gimmicks, plenty of talent. Rating: - The second comingHaving got this when it first hit US stores, I have to say that I was more than a little underwhelmed by it. Time, though, has made a big difference. Second time around, the richness and sheer quality of the album as a whole has shone through for me. Recorded as "live", with T Bone Burnett at the production helm, if you are the kind of person who likes KT Tunstall, then you will find much to adore on this collection. Rating: - Suprisingly GoodI wasn't sure of this one at the time of ordering, but it actually was good. It's a great 'easy listen', perfect for most occasions. I listen to this one mostly in the car. If you like a bit of 'calm' in your music... I can recommend this. Rating:  - Everything you want from an album... here.Nothing beats the process of falling in love with a newly discovered new artist... and this album was exactly that feeling. I can just say wow... songs like 'Late Morning Lullaby' I love it!! very few things can beat the blend of acoustic guitars with a powerful chorus melody along with some great background vocals. How would I classify Brandi, like many great artists she uses elements from many different places, including rock, country & folk. 'The Story' just blew my mind... I'm struggling expressing the power of Brandi's voice here is just unbelievable, a mixture of melancholy & pain that REALLY love in a singer... she suffers the pain of the lyrics and the melody is just perfect. Maybe is just ... Read More: Rating: - Stunning!I have to agree with the other reviewers here and say that Brandi Carlile's album "The Story" is excellent and a breath of fresh air in the female singer song writer market with her rich textured vocals that on some tracks have the right amount of anguish and despair to put across the lyrical content, this could have something to do with the masterful production by T. Bone Burnett the bass sound of this album is deep and chunky and soundstage is massive check out his other great recent work with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on their "Raising Sand" collection. The promo version of the album I have has only thirteen tracks and there are no sleeve notes no lyrics and apart from the production credit and Ms Carlile's name I have no ... Read More: |
