"Wherever Is Your Heart" is the warm, wide-open heart of Brandi Carlile's 2015 album The Firewatcher's Daughter, written by Carlile with Tim Hanseroth. She plays acoustic guitar, piano and organ on it, Tim takes the electric guitar, Phil Hanseroth plays bass and Brian Griffin handles drums and percussion, and all three singers stack their voices together.
The production was a group effort: Carlile, both Hanseroths, Ryan Hadlock and Trina Shoemaker, with Shoemaker mixing. They keep it loose and live-sounding, a song that swells from a lone strum into a full-throated, harmony-stacked singalong.
