Clark sings of "My Favorite Christmas"
Friday, October 27, 2023 – Brandy Clark's original Christmas song, "My Favorite Christmas," is out today alongside a new rendition of the classic, "I'll Be Home For Christmas."
Of the songs, produced by Jordan Brooke Hamlin (Indigo Girls, KT Tunstall), Clark said, "I love a classic Christmas song. That's what Shane McAnally and I were trying to write when we wrote 'My Favorite Christmas.' I hope it conveys that melancholy feeling that we can feel when we are missing someone around the holidays."
The new music follows Clark's self-titled album, which was produced by Brandi Carlile and released earlier this year via Warner Records.
Clark currently is on the final week of a tour, playing a sold-out show in her home state of Washington with a sold-out show on Sunday in Seattle. She condldues this tour leg with a West Hollywood, Cal. show on Nov. 4.

However, more Brandy Clark is never a bad thing, so we'll take it.
This new edition includes a couple of live versions of album songs. Both "Who You Thought I Was" and ...
Whenever Brandy Clark's "Your Life is a Record" is described as the work of a smart, female singer/songwriter - an inevitable characterization - you may immediately picture 11 sophisticated pop songs. And make no mistake about it; this music is sophisticated - sophisticated enough, in fact, to attract pop songwriter extraordinaire Randy Newman for a duet on "Bigger Boat." Surprisingly, though, much of the music contained within is also more organic than one might have ...
There are two components to Brandy Clark. First is her songwriting, which gained her much street cred, penning songs for the likes of Miranda Lambert ("Mama's Broken Heart" with Kacey Musgraves and Shane McAnally), The Band Perry ("Better Dig Two"), Keith Urban, Reba McEntire and a slew for Musgraves and Jennifer Nettles.
