  • About this album: The fourth full-length studio release from singer-songwriter Brandy Clark was produced by Brandi Carlile and features guest appearances by Carlile, Derek Trucks, and Lucius. In regard to production of the album, Carlile had this to say, “When I heard the songs for this album, they took me back to the first time I heard Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. I was thinking about Tom Petty, The Pretenders, Kim Richey, Sheryl Crow, Shelby Lynne and the soul of ’90s Americana before it had a name.” The song Come Back to Me (which Clark co-wrote with Shane McAnally and Trevor Rosen), previously appeared on Keith Urban's 2013 album Fuse. If your grandma saved in Folgers cans, swore credit was a scam, bought everything at Sears on layaway, and was Ford over Chevy, this one might be right up your alley.
