THIS WEEK’S CD RELEASES

Brandi Carlile released a video in which she plays new tune The Mother to her three-year-old daughter Evangeline, and proved that however heartfelt your song, you’ll struggle to captivate a small child. But this, her sixth album, is great: celebratory on Hold Out Your Hand, rapturous on Sugartooth, delicate and tender on the one for the fidgety little girl.
