VARIANT: Deluxe Edition, In The Canyon Haze Vinyl 2LP
The deluxe edition of Brandi Carlile's acclaimed #1 album, In These Silent Days,entitled In The Canyon Haze, features new reimagined Laurel Canyon-inspired versions of each song from the original album plus a special rendition of David Bowie's "Space Oddity." The album was produced by Carlile and the twins, Phil and Tim Hanseroth, and recorded at their home barn studio.
"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!" explains Brandi. "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."
