With songs like "You and Me on the Rock," Brandi Carlile frequently acknowledges the influence of Joni Mitchell and the Laurel Canyon singer-songwriters in her work.
An appropriately new rendition of "You and Me on the Rock" with a guest vocal performance by Carlile's wife Catherine serves as the album's first release.
It's a wonderful, simplified version of the song that juxtaposes Brandi's soaring leads with Catherine's deep harmonies.
The minimal instrumental background has the intimacy and coziness of a living room performance while shimmering like distant city lights.
