Year 8, Day 328

Hey guys. Today's song is You're Not Alone by Allison Russell featuring Brandi Carlile.

Allison Russel is a Canadian musician active since 1999. She was originally in a group called Fear of Drinking before joining the group Po'Girl in 2003, releasing seven albums with them before leaving that group and staring a new one with her now husband JT Nero called Birds of Chicago in 2012. She released three albums, a live album, and an EP with that group, with one album and the EP released in 2018. Also in 2018 she joined the collective called Our Native Daughters, releasing an album in 2019. She started releasing solo stuff in 2021, doing a couple singles before releasing her debut album, which deals with trauma of her child abuse, and she received three Grammy nominations for it. This song was released in 2022, and is a re-done song form her 2019 Our Native Daughters album. Brandi Carlile is an American musician active since 2004, playing the club scene with brothers Phil and Tim Hanseroth before signing with a label in 2004 and releasing her debut album in 2005. Her and the boys then toured for two years while working on the next album released in 2007, which contained songs that went on to be featured in commercials, movies, and TV shows earning her more commercial recognition and success. Since then she has released six more albums, with the most recent ones released in 2021 and 2022. She has also been nominated 25 times for Grammys, winning 9 times, including three from this year. So clearly there is lots of excellent music to give a go if you're interested.

Peace.
