Brandi Carlile – The Firewatcher's Daughter (2xLP)

The result is immediate and electrifying. "The Eye," a song influenced by Crosby Stills and Nash is so intimate and hushed you can hear the quiver of Brandi's voice in a flawless 3-part harmony. Lead-off track and first single "Wherever Is Your Heart" captures a fiery intensity.

The creative spirit of the album is also exemplified in Brandi's sold-out Pin Drop Tour, which wowed audiences in the fall of 2014. Playing historic rooms, Brandi and The Twins performed songs new and old without any amplification - no mics, no amps, no PA - relying only on their voices, acoustic instruments and the venues themselves. The Chicago Tribune attributed Carlile to proving "that sometimes music has more to say than speakers can communicate."

"The Firewatcher's Daughter" follows the 2012 "Bear Creek" album which debuted in the Billboard Top 10, was hailed as "gorgeous" by Rolling Stone and "tremendously assured" by NPR. With over 1 million albums and 1 million singles sold as well as a Billboard Top 10 on her last album, Brandi Carlile has been celebrated by both peers and industry alike. Newly signed to ATO Records, Brandi returns with her most exciting and anticipated album to date. "The Firewatcher’s Daughter” is already described as "an instant classic,” "personal & bold,” & "best of 2015” by NPR.

"... this is music that's lived in and deeply felt, so it resonates long after the album finishes." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
