On the tail of the one-year anniversary of the release of Brandi Carlile’s seventh studio album, In These Silent Days, which initially dropped on Oct. 1, 2021, the songstress has announced plans to remake the entity of her latest collection of music acoustically. The updated take on the 11-track record has been named In The Canyon Haze and will be released on Sept. 28 via Low Country Sound/Elektra Records. 

In anticipation of the forthcoming release, Carlile and her wife, Catherine, have shared a joint take on the In These Silent Days highlight, “You And Me On The Rock,” which has been cut as a duet for In The Canyon Haze. The single, which can be streamed below, elicits new meaning as the pair, who have been married since 2012, share the sweet lyrics coupled with fluttering instrumentals. 

Carlile shared, “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.” The statement continues, “So, the twins (Phil and Tim Hansroth) and I locked ourselves in the attic studio in my barn just like the old days… and we reimagined our entire record.”

The roots of the record, as the updated title suggests, are steeped in inspiration from Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon, a neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills known for housing many celebrated musicians during the ‘60s, including Carlile’s Newport Folk Festival collaborator, Joni Mitchell. In a video shared by Carlile via her official Instagram account, the artist cites the Indigo Girl’s Emily Sailers impersonation of Mitchell’s vocals as an influence for the new rendition of “You And Me On The Rock” Watch below.
