We have just completed the second leg of our US summer tour and I have got to let you all know about our new favorite artist: Brandi Carlile. She was our special guest for, sadly, only just a few shows during our latest swing through the Mid West.

Man, this gal is off the hook.

She has the most amazing voice I may have ever heard. Soulful. Country. Perfect in every way....and propelled by taste. No big crazy vocal gymnastics, just sweet renderings of some pretty great songs. She even gave Johnny a run for his money on "Folsom Prison Blues."

She had the audience in the palm of her hands, like no other opening act I've ever seen.

Please go check her out.

We want to keep these young artists out there making music and bringing it to you live, and the only way that can happen is if you buy the records and come out and support them when they come through your town.

It's your way of voting, see!

Keep it up, Brandi.
