Brandy Clark

All Our Favorite People

CMA Award winning singer/songwriter Brandy Clark is here to talk about her third album, Your Life Is a Record. The new songs, which are partly inspired by the break-up of a 15-year relationship, are Brandy's most vulnerable and personal to date. She says, “I've written a lot of songs about characters. But this time I wrote a lot of songs about my heart.”

We talk about how she grew creatively on this album, which includes collaborations with Oscar-winner Randy Newman and Brothers Osborne’s John Osborne. We also celebrate Brandy’s love of Designing Women and her newly-formed book club, in addition to discussing how we each deal with negative self-talk and what we’ve learned from our failures. We also explore what it was like for Brandy to embark on a country music career after first coming out of the closet with a little inspiration from friend and collaborator Shane McAnally.
