on 'the story', carlile teams up with veteran roots producer t bone burnett, who brings in vintage equipment and strips down her sound. instead of using overdubs, the new songs - most of which were already road-tested - are recorded live, giving the ballads and midtempo rockers a tough, uncompromising edge and a fuller, more aggressive attack. echoes of country and folk color the bucolic "have you ever" and the unadorned acoustic "cannonball," but it's the sweeping drama of the more epic-sounding "until i die," "late morning lullaby," and the u2-styled "my song" that leave the greatest lasting impressions. carlile and burnett make a perfect team: he allows her malleable voice room to soar in the mix while she brings sharp original songs that exude confidence, pride, and emotion. it's a combustive combination and one that results in a sophomore release every bit as good, and in many respects better, than her first. stay tuned as the story continues.
