Brandi Carlile Preps ‘In These Silent Days’ Deluxe Edition ‘In The Canyon Haze’

Brandi Carlile will release In The Canyon Haze, a new deluxe edition of her 2021 studio album, In These Silent Days via Country Sound/Elektra Records on September 28. Today, the singer-songwriter unveiled a new version of “You And Me On The Rock” featuring her wife, Catherine Carlile, as the first taste of In The Canyon Haze.

Co-produced by Brandi Carlile and her bandmates the twins, Phil and Tim Hanseroth, the forthcoming LP contains new versions inspired by Laurel Canyon of all 10 In These Silent Days tracks as well as a cover of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” Brandi and the twins recorded In The Canyon Haze at their home barn studio.

Carlile shared the following of the new project:

“I knew I wanted to offer our fans more than just the usual ‘bonus track’ that always feels like a creative way to ask fans to buy your album twice! So, the twins and I locked ourselves in the attic studio in my barn just like the old days…and we reimagined our entire record.

Inspired by these past few life altering years of ‘Joni Jams,’ I conjured up imagery from the infamous music scene in Laurel Canyon…

I could see the cast of California Dreamers with embroidered flowers and peace signs on their backs drifting through a polaroid haze. I could smell the marijuana and the incense. I could hear the CSN harmonies traveling through the canyon from Lookout Mountain and the accompanying laughter of Mama Cass. I could hear the reverb of aged wood and the dulcimer being strummed like a drum. The familiar chord progressions, confessions and communal spirit that would birth timeless songs…songs we all wish we had written. I could feel the liberation, the friction and freedom from modern day digital distractions that laid such fertile ground at the feet of west coast poets and troubadours.”

Brandi and her band stopped by Rockefeller Center in New York City this morning to perform on NBC’s TODAY. The group played “Broken Horses,” “The Joke,” “The Story” and “You And Me On The Rock.”

Carlile continues her Beyond These Silent Days Tour at Red Rocks near Denver on September 9 and 10. The tour is currently slated to end at Madison Square Garden on October 22.
