Brandi Carlile’s highly anticipated new album, By The Way, I Forgive You, is out today on Low Country Sound/Elektra Records.
“This is my favorite music video I’ve ever made,” Carlile shares. “We made this video—the twins and I—with Danny Clinch who is the best that there is. A very inspiring guy and a really special photographer and director.” She continues, “This song and this video mean more to us than anything we’ve done before. Particularly because every person that you’re going to see in this video is a real person with a real story. And you’re going to see it all over their faces.”
Produced by Grammy-Award winning producer Dave Cobb and acclaimed musician Shooter Jennings, By The Way, I Forgive You is already receiving overwhelming praise…

Recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A, By The Way, I Forgive You includes ten new songs written by Carlile and longtime collaborators and bandmates Tim and Phil Hanseroth. Of their close relationship, Brandi comments, “The Twins and I have been in a band for so long now. And not just a band, we are literally a family. When you create art with twins, it becomes unclear when I end and where they begin.” In addition to Carlile (vocals, guitar, piano), Tim Hanseroth (vocals, bass), Phil Hanseroth (vocals, guitar), Cobb (guitar, percussion) and Jennings (piano, organ), the album features Chris Powell (drums), Josh Neumann (cello), John Mark Painter (French horn) as well as string arrangements and conducting by the late Paul Buckmaster (Elton John, The Rolling Stones).
