If this album came out in the 70's, you'd be hearing Brandi's voice from every FM Rock and Country station in the nation. On the jukebox at the diner. The transister radio on the beach.

But in the era of corporate radio, Brandi's chances of having a hit album with this more than deserving record are probably slim. She's not easy to categorize. So I hail the Mountain and KEXP for adding Brandi to their playlists. And I'm telling you and everyone I know about her album. As with the Norah Jones debut a few years ago, it's going to take word of mouth.

But don't take my word for it. Check out her website www.brandicarlile.com and listen for yourself.
