5.0 out of 5 stars
Powerful performance by a dynamic musician, February 26, 2006
This review is from: Live From Neumo's (Audio CD)
After hearing Brandi Carlile's self titled debut and catching a spectacular show in Birmingham, Al. I purchased this CD as soon as I possibly could. As amazing as her studio album is seeing Ms. Carlile live offers a truer glimpse into her diverse musical talents. The albums first track, Late Morning Lullaby, is the type of throw back song that may well be better than any of the songs it is attempting to emulate. The final track on the album, My Song, is Brandi's finest attempt at rocking out, that I've heard, and successfully blends her earnest voice and superior lyrics with a powerfull rock song. Her Guitarist Tim Hanseroth's song, What can I say, is the only recording off her self titled album to make this live record, but Hanseroth's new recording found here, Hiding My Heart Away, is as catchy as his other song that Brandi records.
During her show Ms. Carlile mentioned that she and the twins had around 25-30 songs to choose from for their next album. One can only hope they begin with Late Morning Lullaby, My Song, Hiding My Heart Away, and include 'Shadow on the Wall' and 'Eye of the Needle' from the EP that they sell at their shows as the former is an example of Brandi at her strongest vocally and the latter is among her best written songs.
One final note of interest. On the back picture of this album, it appears Brandi has a tattoo of Kenny Rogers face on her upper arm. And that is awesome!

Fantastic, of course!, June 23, 2006
This review is from: Live From Neumo's (Audio CD)
Brandi Carlile live is like no other experience. She creates a witty and warm environment, combined with some truly amazing vocal talent and songwriting ability. Having just returned from my second Brandi show, let me tell you that the studio album does not do her justice. This EP, however, is a perfect introduction to the true artistry of Ms. Carlile!
Edited 4/7/07: Please y'all don't purchase this record for $39.95 from the Amazon sellers. Google "brandi carlile live at neumo's" and you'll find plenty of cheap and legal alternatives.

Amazing Live Album, February 3, 2006
This review is from: Live From Neumo's (Audio CD)
The phrase "a little bit a country a little bit a rock n' roll," comes to mind when I describe Brandi's awesome new album: Live From Neumo's.
"My Song" is an amazing and powerful song with an alluring alternative rock sound while her song "Late Morning Lullabye" a beautiful and rhythmic folk sound that will have you pushing the back button on your CD player so you can hear it again and again and again. Buy this album!
Brandi Carlile's concerts will also blow you away. I've been to two concerts so far and hearing the songs live is like you've taken a vacation to music heaven. And it's true she knows how to keep her audience coming back for more!
