Brandi Carlile, Give Up the Ghost

One thing that I love most about doing reviews is the way I get introduced to things I never heard of before. I got a review copy of the new Brandi Carlile CD, Give Up the Ghost recently. What a treat! I had never heard of Brandi before, so I was curious what kind of music it would be. It’s a bit hard to categorize the style of music, but I would say it’s mainly folk rock or even country.

Album Tracklisting:
Looking Out
Dying Day
Pride And Joy
Dreams
That Year
Caroline
Before It Breaks
I Will
If There Was No You
Touching The Ground
Oh Dear

Apparently, those of you who are Grey’s Anatomy fans are already pretty familiar with Brandi, as some of her songs have been on the show. A fun tidbit about her is that she was inspired to pick up the guitar and learned to play after seeing the Indigo Girls in concert at Lilith Fair. She’s come a long way since then! If you enjoy folk rock music, you will probably enjoy this album a lot! You can buy Give Up the Ghost online, or download it on iTunes. You can find out more about her and hear samples of her music on her website, BrandiCarlile.com. She even has a Facebook Fan page if you want to be a fan there.
