The critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, producer, and five-time Grammy winner opens up about a life shaped by music in this candid, heartfelt, and intimate story.
Brandi Carlileis a five-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, performer, and producer. Since her debut in 2004, she has released six studio albums and was the most nominated female artist at the 2019 Grammy Awards, with six nominations, including Album, Record, and Song of the Year. Founded in 2008 by Carlile, the Looking Out Foundation amplifies the impact of music by empowering those without a voice, with campaigns focused on children living in war zones, prevention and reduction in incarceration and recidivism, racial justice, violence prevention, food insecurity, and more. To date, the foundation has raised over $2 million for grassroots causes. Beloved by fans, peers, and critics alike, Carlile and her band have performed sold-out concerts across the world. Brandi Carlile lives in rural Washington State on a compound with her bandmates and their families, as well as her wife, Catherine, and their two daughters, Evangeline and Elijah.
"A vulnerable document . . . The resilience of her sense of self,
through poverty and fame, is transcendent. One of her great
strengths as an artist is a willingness to stare herself straight
in the face and not flinch."--Amanda Hess, The New York
Times
"[Carlile is] perceptive, vulnerable, humble, funny and above all
else, a good storyteller. She'd already proven her storytelling
chops as a lyricist and she proves them once again in these pages.
She knows how to use a few words to make a big impact. . . .
Readers walk away feeling like they know the real
Carlile."--Associated Press
"Intimate . . . Carlile's story is too big to fit in a song. . . . The memoir covers it all with conversational ease. . . . This pulls the veil back in a way [Carlile] hadn't done before."--Vulture "I thought I knew Brandi through her music and friendship, but I didn't truly know her until I finished the last page of Broken Horses. I don't think I truly knew myself until I finished the last page of Broken Horses. I read much of it with my palms sweating, heart swelling, tears falling. This book is a gift from Brandi's soul to the reader's. Broken Horses will go down as one of the great memoirs of our time."--Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed "I fell in love with Brandi's voice, and then serendipity took over and I fell in love with the artist, the writer, and the woman. I believe we were fated to be true soul mates. Reading this book confirms my love and respect for her. If anyone ever has a doubt in their mind that the wildest of dreams can be realized from complicated circumstances, they should read Brandi's story. It is about perseverance, humor, forgiveness, and manifestation. I absolutely loved it."--Elton John, author of Me "A good storyteller tells you about their life. A great storyteller guides you so deep into their heart that you actually end up seeing yourself. Brandi is one of the most gifted and generous storytellers of our time. Broken Horses led me right into Brandi's heart, and my own."--Brene Brown, author of Daring Greatly "An intimate, life-affirming look at a musician whose artistic journey is far from over."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
