She came in via zoom so it was myself and the guys that played on that record. “I was in Nashville, and Brandi was in her place in Washington State. So Tracy Gershon, who is a really good friend of mine and also works with Brandi Carlile, she said, What about Brandi?”Ĭarlile was keen to be involved and via the use of technology they made it work. I think once again everything happens for a reason because the label wanted a few more songs and I was going to go back in with Jay Joyce but he was in the middle of another project if I remember. I remember vigilantly finishing that song with Marla and Hayley because I wanted to record it. “That was one of the few blessings in the pandemic,” Clark begins, “I had really wanted that song to be on ‘Your Life is a Record ’ but it just didn’t really fit with what the theme of that record ended up being. Carlile is nominated for five GRAMMY’s this year including ‘Same Devil’. So I was hopeful that it would get nominated but this year, I didn’t have anything in cycle or so I didn’t think.” ‘Same Devil’ was released as one of the bonus tracks on the deluxe version of ‘Your Life Is A Record’ and features Brandi Carlile who also produced the track. Last Grammy cycle I had ‘ Your Life Is A Record ’ out. “I remembered the night before the nominations came out, I was thinking, I wonder who’s going to get nominated? I had a meeting that morning and I was pulling into my writing appointment and my manager called me and said, ‘Same Devil ’ had been nominated for a GRAMMY and I was just shocked, so I called my co-writers on that song Marla Cannon-Goodman and Hayley Whitters, Marla knew but Hayley didn ’ t, so she found out from us.”Ĭlark couldn’t quite believe it, “You’re always shocked but this is the most shocked I’ve ever been. Musicians, managers and labels the world over were glued to the announcements but Brandy Clark, without a new album this year, was driving to her writing appointments, only slightly interested to see if any of her friends had made the list this year.
On the morning of November 23rd, the Recording Academy announced the nominees of the 64th annual GRAMMY awards. As she gears up to get back into the studio and fly to England next year for The Long Road, Clark shares with me the stories behind the music. In addition to this she has embraced zoom and made the most of her virtual writing appointments, making good progress on her musical that she’s been crafting for nine years with Shane McAnally. There has been no new album, but regardless, the songstress has been quietly plugging away behind the scenes and has earned herself two GRAMMY nominations at the 64th annual awards ceremony. For an outsider looking in, it may appear that Brandy Clark has had somewhat of a quiet year.
