The story is..amazing! I dont know off the top of my head where I heard of Brandi Carlile but I can tell you i dont regret it for a minute. After a few weeks of frustatingly listening to her off YouTube I bought this album and her self-titled album. This album combines folk, rock, country and soul in one amazing package.

Having read some of the reviews before writing this, I realise there are some very eloquent writers out there who know what they are talking about. Therefore my advice to any readers of this review is to only look at the review... more info
