TOUR DATES CONFIRMED
Grammy-nominated and CMA Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Brandy Clark’s highly anticipated new album, Your Life is a Record, is out today on Warner Records. Stream/purchase HERE.
In celebration of the release, Clark will perform on NBC’s “TODAY” next Thursday, March 12 and on “CBS This Morning” as part of their “Saturday Sessions” series next Saturday, March 14.
Produced by award winning producer Jay Joyce, the album features Clark’s most personal songwriting to date and is already receiving widespread critical acclaim:
“Breakthroughs don’t always have to come for brand new artists…
[Your Life is a Record] sounds like an instant classic. It sounds vintage, it evokes
classic ‘60s country albums, but it also sounds completely contemporary”
“brings her unpretentious virtuosity into focus”
“No One Is Writing Better Country Songs That Brandy Clark Is”
“All of Clark’s albums have terrific songs, but Your Life Is a Record is the best-sounding album that she’s released”

★★★★1/2
“an unstoppable steam locomotive”
“Even as her world expands, and her style shifts along with it, Brandy Clark keeps
her feet grounded in the here and now. Her songwriting is only getting better.”
her feet grounded in the here and now. Her songwriting is only getting better.”
“she’s clearly cut out for the spotlight”
“enchanting”
“This woman is just awesome, that’s all. Her liquid vocal, her lovely melody,
her pristinely constructed song and her overall artistry are all perfectly in place here.
She is a country queen if I have ever heard one in my life.”
“A stellar country songsmith”
“Clark’s most engaging record to date”
“One of the biggest talents out of Nashville”
“if any further proof is needed to grasp that Clark is far more than merely
a brilliant wordsmith, Your Life is a Record, her resplendent new album, makes
the case with stunning authority”
“Your Life is a Record finds her pencil sharp and her observational gaze even sharper”
“a master storyteller with the ability to weave lyrics together to create a
seamless story that makes you feel like you’re actually living the song”
“Brandy Clark’s songs touch souls and hearts…the songs
unfold with a stark elegance and spare beauty.”
Created after the dissolution of a long-term relationship, the 11-track album was recorded largely as an intimate acoustic four-piece—featuring Clark, Joyce, Giles Reaves and Jedd Hughes—with subsequent Memphis strings and horns layered in with arrangements by Lester Snell. It also features special guest appearances from Randy Newman (“Bigger Boat”) and guitarist John Osborne (“Bad Car”).
In support of the album, Clark will kick off her headlining “Who You Thought I Was Tour” later this month including special album release shows at Nashville’s 3rd & Lindsley on March 29, Los Angeles’ Lodge Room on April 7, New York’s Bowery Ballroom on April 28 and Chicago’s The Space on May 8. See below for complete tour itinerary. Every ticket purchased for the headline tour includes a choice of a CD or digital download copy of Your Life is a Record. Available in most markets, check ticket details for confirmation.
A six-time Grammy nominee and CMA Awards “Song of the Year” recipient, Clark is one of her generation’s most respected and celebrated songwriters and musicians. Her songs include Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow,” Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart,” The Band Perry’s “Better Dig Two” and Hailey Whitter’s “Ten Year Town,” which was just named #2 on Rolling Stone’s “25 Best Country and Americana Songs of 2019” round up. Her two solo albums—2013’s 12 Stories and 2016’s Big Day in a Small Town—each garnered immense critical acclaim landing on “Best of the Year” lists at New York Magazine, Billboard, NPR Music Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, etc. NPR Music’s Ann Powers calls her, “a storyteller of the highest caliber,” while Rolling Stone’s Will Hermes declares, “a country visionary…the consolation of a beautiful voice delivering a well-built song, cold truth rising from it like fog off dry ice.”
