Brandi Carlise- The Firewatcher's Daughter
This time Brandi is getting well deserved critical acclaim for her most recent release "The Firewatcher's Daughter". I just cant keep my big mouth shut any longer. This album is not good- it's amazing!
I know this is just my opinion, but the more I listen to it, the more I love it. I fell immediately in love with the slower, more sparsely produced tracks, her vocals have never been better. But the upbeat rocking and down right poppy songs are now running through my head all the time. "I need somebody strong- for when I'm feeling weak..."
My family has a special place in our hearts for her music, my wife and my 9year old- we all simply love her. We took our girl to see her about a month ago in Charlotte. If you were there you heard Brandi ask her name and say "this song is for Kaitlyn". She came home with a pick and the drummer's sticks. And If you were there you know what an amazing show she delivers.
Now most of my listening has been in the car and on my deck, so no critical analysis of the sound. I can tell you the sound varies somewhat. I can tell you that this is a strong release in terms of writing and performance. As usual her vocals are wonderful. She is a natural, and almost any song could be used as a masterclass in conveying emotion in a totally natural, unforced manner.
...any fans out there?
