Brandi Carlile By the Way, I Forgive You

4 stars out of 5 -- "She hits a bouncy pop chord on the tender 'Harder to Forgive' and settles into a booming Adele-meets-Joni moment with lonely, reflective tour de force 'Party of One'..."
Billboard - "[T]he surest showcase yet of Carlile's Americana sensibilities, starting right off the bat with stunning, harmony-rich album opener 'Every Time I Hear That Song'..."
Paste (magazine) - "[S]he ably navigates a batch of songs that range from folk, country and blues to symphonic pop and rock pieces that would sound at home on a Broadway stage. No matter the backdrop, Carlile sounds completely in control."
Pitchfork (Website) - "It's a move toward the prestige era of her career, a moment when she's expected to reconcile the warring parts of herself for a growing audience....Her collaborators this time are an impressive bunch."
