Brandi Carlile: "The Story"

Released: 2007


I've managed to get hold of a journalist's handy guide to reviewing a Brandi Carlile album, in 5 easy steps, which is given out to all music reviewers. Here it is:

(1) Mention the phrase "singer-songwriter" about once a paragraph.

(2) You've got to include the fact that Elton John is a big fan.

(3) The songs (and album as a whole) should be described as "well crafted".

(4) She may or may not be gay, so try to interpret at least one song from this perspective.

(5) Give the album somewhere between 3 and 4 out of 5, or 7 out of 10.

Best Song: Late Morning Lullaby

Rating: 4/5
