Brandi Carlile with Mike McCready - Home Concerts 4: Vote Your Values Benefit, Maple Valley, WA, 10-9-2020

Sigh. I still have a bunch of home concerts from 2020 that I haven't gotten around to posting yet. There's too much good music in the world to keep track of it all! But a couple of days ago as I write this, Brandi Carlile released a new studio album called "In These Silent Days." That reminded me I have more to post from her. So here's the next one.

Hopefully you know who Brandi Carlile is from previous posts here, or from the fact that she's a famous musician. In case you don't know Mike McCready, he's the lead guitarist for Pearl Jam. It turns out he lives near Carlile, and the two of them are very good friends. They did a relatively short acoustic benefit concert together, with Carlile doing the lead vocals and McCready supporting on lead guitar. 

That show was only 30 minutes long. But it turns out Carlile played four other songs here and there in the same month, two of them with McCready. So I added three songs at the start and one at the end (to put them in chronological order). Added together, it makes an album that's 48 minutes long. I highly doubt you'd notice this wasn't one concert if I didn't tell you, because the instrumentation is the same, the sound quality is the same, and there's banter throughout.

This album is a nice mix of covers and originals. The covers are "Wish You Were Here" (Pink Floyd), "Red Dirl Girl" (Emmylou Harris), "Madman Across the Water" (Elton John), "The Times They Are A-Changin'" (Bob Dylan), and "Wildflowers" (Tom Petty).
