Brandi Carlile In These Silent Days

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "IN THESE SILENT DAYS opens with the song 'Right on Time,' a ballad about apology and understanding that begins with solemn piano chords before swelling in dramatic fashion."
"[T]he album is bookended by two of the most poignant piano ballads of her career, and she channels Joni Mitchell on the breathtaking 'You and Me on the Rock.'"
Billboard - "[S]he expands the breadth of her sturdy, perceptive writing and compelling, dark-hued vocals with moments that recall the piano pop constructions of Elton John but also Joni Mitchell..."
Paste (magazine) - "With her talent and charisma, and a group of talented musicians around her, it's no wonder Carlile is the star she was always meant to be, and there's certainly nothing about IN THESE SILENT DAYS that will stop her rise."
