In These Silent Days

Brandi Carlile made In These Silent Days with longtime collaborators Phil and Tim Hanseroth, returning to producers Dave Cobb and Shooter Jennings. “Right on Time” begins at the piano and gradually opens into a larger vocal performance, setting a scale the album can then step away from.

“You and Me on the Rock” offers a lighter acoustic setting, while “Broken Horses” brings a rougher edge. Those contrasting arrangements leave Carlile's voice at the center, with the band changing the space around it.
