Brandi Carlile - Home Concerts 2: Maple Valley, WA, 6-14-2020 (The Firewatcher's Daughter Album)

A few weeks ago, I posted a home concert album of Brandi Carlile. It collected a bunch of performances she played at home during the coronavirus pandemic, usually just a song here or two songs there. This album is different. It's a single home concert, consisting of her entire 2015 "The Firewatcher's Daughter" album, plus two extra songs at the end.

For most of her music career, Carliile has closely collaborated with the twins Phil and Tim Hanseroth. Those two have played guitar and bass, sing backing vocals, and often write or co-write songs on her albums. For this concert, it's just the trio of Carlile plus the Hanseroths, all on acoustic instruments.

During the pandemic lockdown, Carlile has been gradually holding concerts in which she plays all of her albums from start to end. Most of these have been available only behind a pay wall, so I won't be posting them here. But two of them have been made more widely available, including this one, so I'll post those two.

To be honest, I'd never heard "The Firewatcher's Daughter" before this home concert came along. But I like what I've heard a lot, so I'm posting this. It's made me go back and listen to the albums that I'd missed. Hopefully you'll feel the same if you haven't discovered this album in its original form already.

The sound quality of this concert is very good. There's a lot of talking between songs, which is often interesting, and gives a lot of information about the songs and how they came to be written.

The two extra songs at the end are "The Story," Carlile's first hit, and "Hallelujah," the classic by Leonard Cohen.

The concert as a whole is an hour and 18 minutes long.
