Editor's note

Brandi Carlile's direct emotional delivery

A songwriter who grew up in Ravensdale, Washington and built her career on straightforward storytelling.

If you want to understand her approach, listen to 'The Story' and 'The Joke'. They frame what she does without much fuss.

Her 2005 album 'The Story' brought wider attention with the title track becoming a signature song. Later albums like 'By the Way, I Forgive You' continued that approach with songs like 'The Joke' and 'That Wasn't Me'. She's been open about being a queer woman in the music industry while maintaining a consistent presence without much fanfare.

She started performing at local festivals as a teenager in Washington and independently released her debut album in 2000. 'The Story' in 2005 marked a turning point, and she's continued building on that foundation with albums like 'Give Up the Ghost' and 'By the Way, I Forgive You'.
