Hi Brad and Brad,
Thanks to Episode 79,
BrAD RADIO, I've been listening to a lot of Brandi Carlile's music after
hearing "Hold Out Your Hand." I had first heard that song last year
during an episode of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. I hadn't heard the
song, "The Joke" until a few weeks ago and I have to say that it is one
of the most moving songs I've ever heard.
Brandi's
most obvious link I can find to Pearl Jam is through their contribution
to the album "Cover Stories," which is a compilation of covers from
Brandi's 2007 album "The Story."
Pearl Jam covers the song "Again Today"
in a past-paced rendition, which if you've heard the original version
is a stark contrast. If I'm listening correctly, it sounds like she
sings backup to Eddie during the chorus throughout the song. I can't
remember, although I'm pretty sure you guys touched upon her joining the
guys onstage during the home shows in Seattle last year to "Again
Today."
"It was an honor for Pearl Jam to re-record Brandi Carlile's "Again
Today" for the Cover Stories album benefitting War Child. We are
grateful to artists like Brandi for organizing meaningful projects like
this one to help mitigate some of the pain and suffering experienced by
children in war-torn countries around the world. We have long been
supporters of War Child and are huge fans of Brandi as both a musician
and a human being."
I should mention the most important similarity between her and Pearl Jam and that's the fact she's an incredible musician and songwriter. BradL, you've mentioned several times what a badass she is and I couldn't agree with you more.
Forced to endure, what I could not forgive,
