Carlile's major label debut album, "Brandi Carlile," introduced her to a wider audience, and her single "The Story" from the album of the same name brought further recognition. "The Story" was produced by T Bone Burnett. Carlile achieved significant critical success with the album "By the Way, I Forgive You," which was nominated for six Grammy Awards. She was the most nominated woman at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, receiving nominations for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year for "The Joke."

Carlile continued her solo career with the album "In These Silent Days" and published the memoir "Broken Horses," which became a best seller. In "Broken Horses," Carlile discusses her journey from childhood to acclaimed singer-songwriter, exploring influences such as spirituality, early musical experiences, fame, activism, and mental health.
