The Story (Single)
Brandi Carlile
Released:
Jan 2007
Label:
Columbia
Gruff and tender, her voice moves effortlessly from whisper to lonesome yodel to hoarse, bruised rocker-chick howl, filling in the nuances and emotional details of the love story she spins over first, muted acoustic guitar and, later, rugged electric guitar. Part-cowboy poet, part-latter-day
Melissa Etheridge, part-vulnerable girl with a guitar on a coffee shop stage, Brandi Carlile wears her anguish on her sleeve and makes it sound good.
