Brandi Carlile - Home Concerts 3: Maple Valley, WA, 7-12-2020 (Bear Creek Album)

I recently posted a home concert in which Brandi Carlile played her entire "The Firewatcher's Daughter" album, in the original song order. This is exactly the same, except it's her 2012 album "Bear Creek." She actually has done most or all of her albums this way during the coronavirus pandemic, but the others are behind a paywall so I won't be posting them here.

As with "The Firewatcher's Daughter," she is supported only by "the twins," Phil and Tim Hanseroth, who have been her main musical collaborators and co-songwriters for most of her musical career. The three of them only play acoustic instruments, so one can consider this an acoustic performance, those it's not a totally solo one.

The sound quality is excellent. There's a lot of talking between songs, with banter between Carlile and the twins. It's clear they're having a lot of fun.

All the songs from "Bear Creek" appear here, except for the last one, "Just Kids," which apparently had some instrumentation they felt they couldn't duplicate. Instead, this ends with "If She Ever Leaves Me," a song she sang on the 2019 album by the Highwomen.

In order to promote this concert, Carlile recorded a short video in which she held up a supersized copy of the "Bear Creek" album cover. I took a screenshot of that for the cover art.
