Life and career
The crazy shit and the normal are the lines that Brandi Carlile enjoys tinkering with. Well, enjoy might not be the right word, but the songwriter from the great state of Washington, can't help herself. She enjoys what her personal quota brings her when it comes to the strange fates that happen to find her. She squares up, gets into a good stance and just battles through the troubles and the turbulence and once it's ripped through the area, she sits down to write about how it all felt and how it's probably always going to make her feel for the rest of her life - if she's either lucky or unlucky. She thinks about luck a bit on the record and she considers how it affects someone who loses their way. There's still the authentic person somewhere, that can't ever truly get lost.
By the end of 2006, Carlile had embarked on several headlining tours and supported a variety of artists, including Ray LaMontagne, the Fray, Chris Isaak, Tori Amos, and Shawn Colvin. In 1986, a Stephen King novella was made into a movie, with a classic song serving as title, soundtrack and tone. Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" was the first-ever country single to earn diamond certification from the RIAA. In October 2018, Carlile teamed up with Sam Smith to re-imagine the single "Party of One" as a duet with the proceeds going to the ongoing Story Campaign.
