Bear Creek by Brandi Carlile

It would have been hard to choose my favourite Brandi Carlile album, until now. From the promise of her first self titled album, to her classic collection on The Story (and it's final track of "Again Today" that made it to my 131 Songs) and the following album Give Up The Ghost (that includes the magical "Before It Breaks"), we now have what is her best music to date.

There is not one dud track. The songwriting of Brandi and The Twins (Phil and Tim Hanseroth) gets better and better. Phil, especially, shines with "What Did I Ever Come Here For" and Brandi matches that with her "That Wasn't Me". Both could have made the list of my favourite songs.
