You may not know Brandi Carlile’s name. Yet. But if you’re a fan of Grey’s Anatomy, you’ve probably heard her voice. Maybe you didn’t even notice the anguished vocals because they provided such a seamless backdrop to the lovesick drama on Grey’s. Carlile’s voice picks you up and drops you down in Breakupville.

Heartache seeps from every note of Brandi Carlile’s latest CD, Story. But that’s no reason not to fall in love with her music. Never have sad songs made me feel so good. At twenty-six she’s a baby in her genre. Carlile’s folksy authenticity, other worldly voice, and backing by big dog Sony mean we’re going to hear a lot more from this remarkable talent.
Aren’t we lucky.
