Give Up the Ghost by Brandi Carlile
Give Up the Ghost is an album by Brandi Carlile, released in 2009. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 20 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Dreams”, on 16 lists with a best position of #15.
Give Up the Ghost, Brandi Carlile's third album, came out on Columbia on October 6, 2009, two years after "The Story" had put her name on the map. Rick Rubin produced it at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, and the guest list is a statement of intent: Elton John joins her on "Caroline", with Chad Smith, Amy Ray and Benmont Tench also on board.
It's folk rock with a pop heart and a classic-rock backbone, and Rubin keeps things lean so that big, cracking voice of hers can do the heavy lifting, swooping from a hush to a full-on howl. "Dreams" went out first as the lead single, and "Dying Day" is a keeper too.
