In a unique experience, Brandi Carlile recorded 31 songs to accompany her Broken Horses audiobook, (which she also narrates). Available only through the audiobook digital version – Brandi Carlile sings acoustic (guitar or piano) very intimate versions of the songs inspired by, mentioned, or about each thematic chapter. It’s the only time we have heard her sing a few favorite’s like Tanya Tucker‘s Bring My Flowers Now, or Elton John‘s Your Song and Honky Cat, or Hold You Dear by The Secret Sisters, and Neil Young’s Philadelphia on a recording. It’s a unique and special musical release and Brandi has said we’ll never hear these songs like this outside of this audiobook. Really worth purchasing the audiobook for this experience. The value delivered is extreme.
The songs appear at the end of each chapter, and in total at the end of the book.
Brandi Carlile also released a Spotify playlist
