12
Stories, the debut album from Grammy and CMA-nominated singer-songwriter
Brandy Clark.
Teaming
up with producer Dave Brainard (Jerrod Niemann, Ray Scott), Brandy used her
writing gift and distinctly country voice to craft 12 Stories, a record that
has touched everyone lucky enough to hear it.
What the Press said:
CD
of The Month (5 STARS) Country Music
People - Read the Review
Allmusic (Rating: 4.5 Stars) the superb 12 Stories showcases a unique
artist who stands firmly, proudly on her own merits.
American Songwriter (Rating:
4 STARS) ..a record full of humor and
pain, remorse and reckoning, is one of
the very best country debuts of 2013.
Billboard (by Chuck
Dauphin) “Wow” ...I don’t think I have
ever started a review so simply in my decade-plus of writing them. But,
sometimes, you can say a lot more with less than you can otherwise
Country Weekly (Rating:
A+) ...a staggeringly great collection
of original tunes that paint vivid, honest portraits of real life, from a
uniquely feminine perspective....While the men are stuck in the backwoods,
Brandy is busy digging through the human condition.
Entertainment Weekly (Rating:
B+) Clark keeps things edgy, singing
about divorce, drugs, jail, and Jesus—a.k.a. country music’s Golden
Quadrangle—with matter-of-fact sass and ample twang.
The L.A. Times (Rating:
3.5/4 STARS). …find this record and
listen to a dozen dazzlingly witty and insightful takes on the struggles of
the working class, neglected and/or mistreated women, the battle between
right and wrong and the pros and cons of chemical mood enhancers....This is
the country debut of the year.
Roughstock (Rating:
5 STARS)..... There's not one throw
away track, one throw away note, or one throw away lyric. Instead, it's a
well-made and produced and definitely worth seeking out.
NY Post (rating; 4 STARS)
...this is the most compulsively
re-playable album of 2013, country or otherwise
