{"product_id":"brandi-carlile-give-up-the-ghost","title":"Brandi Carlile - Give Up the Ghost","description":"\u003cp\u003eGive Up the Ghost is Brandi Carlile's third album, a 2009 set of big-hearted folk-rock made with producer Rick Rubin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy this point Carlile and her longtime collaborators, twins Tim and Phil Hanseroth, had built a reputation as a fearsome live act, and the record keeps that chemistry front and centre without smoothing off the edges. The songs swing between barroom stomp, country ache and stripped-back confession, all carried by that voice, which can drop to a whisper one moment and soar to the rafters the next, often within the same song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Dreams\" is the bright, anthemic heart of the record, a soaring chorus wrapped around restless longing. \"Dying Day\" rolls in with rollicking, defiant energy, while \"Caroline\" brings in Elton John for a warm duet with one of Carlile's biggest musical heroes. \"That Year\" slows to a hush for one of the album's most personal moments, Carlile's voice cracking in all the right places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sits neatly between her scrappier early records and the Americana stardom that would follow, and you can hear both in nearly every song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans who came to her through later albums will find the roots of everything she became, and longtime listeners get a welcome chance to hear it spin again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67763398705442,"sku":"196588136511","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Brandi_Carlile-Give_Up_the_Ghost.jpg?v=1794324423","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/brandi-carlile-give-up-the-ghost","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
