Brandy Clark, Brandy Clark, 2023 on Slate Creek / Warner

Clark’s fourth studio album, self-titled, and produced by Brandi Carlile, who provides backing vocals, piano and guitar on a number of tracks and is featured on “Dear Insecurity,” which they performed live at the Grammys in 2024 – and for which she won a “Best Americana Performance” Grammy.

She’s been a great songwriter for many years but I think this is her best album yet. Love the heartbreaking lyrics of “Buried”:

I’ll meet somebody else

Probably get married

I’ll keep it to myself

But I’ll love you ’til I’m buried

Brandy Clark, Your Life is a Record, 2020 on Warner Records / Slate Creek

Clark’s third studio LP, produced by Jay Joyce. Includes “Bigger Boat” (a duet with Randy Newman) and “Who You Thought I Was.” I think Clark is a fantastic modern songwriter rooted in classic country storytelling and worldplay. This is a bit more aimed at mainstream pop audiences, but I think it’s very successful.

We’re either all the way left or all the way right
The only time we meet in the middle is to fight
The rich get richer, the rest get a little more broke
We’re gonna need a bigger boat
