[Tripped11]

what a gorgeous voice, I like, a lot

[tinketteful]

bravo!

[WhisperVoyeur]

sadly ive never heard this until 5 minutes ago...very excellent !

[runrunrun6777]

Amazing. I wish these "unplugged" versions were available for purchase- i actually prefer the over the full band arrangements on the album.

[Bluebuthappy182]

@runrunrun6777 Hey that's a good idea if anyone at Candyrat is listening maybe a once off special of youtube acousitc stuff?

[ErnieTpc]

Excellent...! 

[Xiocus]

I just went to CandyRat to buy this CD.

The band version is great, plz don't misunderstand me here...

This solo vs it is way better!!!

[anyusmoon1]

Masterful.

[ShadowCrowX]

is this Andy McKee's wife?! reminds me of his style, except with singing which also means more staying power to each song

[GundamEclipzed37]

@ShadowCrowX actually it's Don Ross' ;)

[hip142]

@GundamEclipzed37 i was about to say that lol

[SaintFu]

@seanunmuth - know how to get 1000 soldiers to cry? Easy - put 1000 soldiers in front of Brooke Miller singing "Two Soldiers". Great, great performance.

[seanunmuth]

i will always think of you as falling deeply into your song as deeply as two soldiers; su

[LunaticAssnGotzGame]

PEI stand up!! Proud to come from the same place as Brooke!

[llamawizard]

please release an acoustic album!!!!!!

[shanec36]

Brook, I've returned time and time again to hear these clips of you on youtube. I never knew that there was an album to buy but had always wished for one so i could take you around in my car and promote you to any passenger-tag-a-longs. Hearing that you do have an album out but it is with a backing band surprised me. I would cherish and share an album of just you and ur soloing so much. I can't imagine your music with other instruments. perhaps i will give it a listen, but u alone are a gem.

[sssiod]

Just found you Brooke after watching Andy McKee stuff. This music video performance captured me and nothing else seemed to matter. Watched it bout 10 times now and definitely my favorite song for this year. Amazing. Great song! I want to play it.

[cromley1]

@sssiod I've found her just recently through a fellow You Tube watcher who was kind enough to point me in her direction for my listening enjoyment. I am flabberasted period. No one this great since Joni and Shawn.

[orzhageN]

just look at her right hand , insane

[steveshirtda]

nice work brooke. sounds great. check out some of my videos. its been my dream to join candyrat.

[osf75]

 Listening to you sing makes me miss the island so much. VIVA BLEEK!

[jaythomful]

Found her a couple of years ago - a treasure! Love any and everything by Brooke Miller.

[MrookeBiller]

Hi Friends & Fans,

I've got a brand new acoustic record out on CandyRat!

'Shake It Off' is selling like hot cakes and a brand new video too with over 20,000 views just since Nov 12th!!

PLUS, I finally have GUITAR TABS for a few of my songs on Candyrat.com

Thanks so much for all of you requesting a new record and TABS.

I'm listening, and have delivered.

Means a lot to be in touch with you all,

Look for German, EU dates in summer 2011

all the best,

Brooke

[Kellogs43able]

brooke's album is bomb...i put it on repeat and never get bored...

[DRMurrX]

i ike it ...it is a very good song ...

[booswalia]

I hear a Bruce Cockburn influence. Great stuff!

[MrookeBiller]

BTW- FIND ME ON FACEBOOK...

[MrookeBiller]

hey everyone, i've had a lot of requests to do TABS for this and other songs of mine. The wait is over...TABS will be available withing a week or two from now!

you'll find them on CandyRat.com and brookemiller.ca. An official announcement will be made....WOOT WOOT!

and thanks everyone for asking me for the tabs. Finally getting them done!

[conancito]

@MrookeBiller Thats great news! Thank you very much Brooke. Are you touring some time with Don? I would love to see you in germany any time :)

[freddh2]

@MrookeBiller Hey Brooke. Any fresh news about your solo acoustic project? (unless I missed something and it's already out!!!) To be perfectly honest, I sometimes had mixed feelings about some of your songs when played with a band. Your extraordinary guitar playing was somewhat lost in the mix. And through some kind of enchantment, you playing them solo turns the very same songs into absolute wonders. Gives me shivers every time. Please, oh please, make that album! (Don, make her do it!!!)

[Sillywhistler]

@freddh2

Yes, make that album Brooke!

[Kailas108]

@freddh2 I agree with you that that extraordinary acoustic playing was missed int her first album ! Any possibility to get the acoustic versions on CD ? These post by candy rat are real gems , Many thanks Brooke for your playing ...!!

[steveshirtda]

would love to hear your acoustic album brooke.

[5wiro]

She's got has four cerebrum, as though God created to reveal emotions !

[btcskins2003]

Brooke, I'd buy your acoustic version of your album. Really digging the videos you have up here. Thanks. 

[AliveInOakville]

are you playing at THE DUNK soon?? lol...

[finnbjerke]

I really like what you do. Your guitarstyle has a very rhytmic drive, maybe the usual bass + drums would drown that ? maybe you should find a (brazillian styled) percussionist instead of the usual drumkit. Id defienitly add more human voices if i were you..

[bigalli100]

great guitar and voice to match ,joni couldnt play like that ill buy a cd this is how music should be going ,and the tallent will be rewarded

[tallblazed420chick]

yesssssss do it do it do it do it

[polyrhythm101]

Newton Faulkner just got owned! :P

[sarahmadden1]

hey, I saw you when you came to Sault ste. marie. Awesome show. You're such a beautiful artist! thanks for coming, hope to see you again sometime!

[JonnyWedel]

haha! "you knew you hit the prairies, and you knew why"

[2Frasermac]

Hi Brooke , This boogies along a whole lot better when you play acoustic

[CoheedFreak06]

Don Ross is one LUCKY man to call brooke his wife.

[zizimycat]

Makes me want to hit the road...great song, beautifully played and sung. Love this girl.

[mensamoo]

Senthious! so its country music is it????

[Bluebuthappy182]

@mensamoo Wouldn't call it country music senthious, folk music maybe or maybe just good music

[mensamoo]

you did call it country bud...

[RinkeBolster]

downloaded the albim, nice! but i really miss these acoustic songs....so when/ where can i get em? or can i just rip from youtube someway?

[RinkeBolster]

@yondermanly, you couldn't be more right!

@ Brooke; would it kill ya to smile? You know you wanna

Keep making songs like these!

[yondermanly]

At the end of all your videos I'm like come on, come onnn, look at the camera and give us a big smile, I know its a nice big smile after doing such a great job.

[bodadley]

truly awesome!!

[senthious]

I don't really listen to country much.

At first I knew it had that feel,but It's different. I like your style!

Very nice voice, and you are very talented!

lol It's like I've never heard country music until I listened to you!

[Mortifer0029]

Wow....Nice!!!

[brianbelaire]

i need a cold shower....

[lowlandr]

She plays guitar like joni sings and sings like joni plays guitar...perfect match!

no slander intended they are both way way up there.

Joni should throw this pup a bone, not many come along like this

[quietstrings]

Hmmmm,,,,not many musicians catch my eye but this woman did...another musical angel

[loveisapinkcake]

i like the bluesy influence in her voice

[kingxofxsuede]

The more I listen to her music, the more I love her.

I didn't like it at first, but by the time I was through her vids on rpoland, I was back at the beginning watching them again.

[stonedstoner111]

wow

[CooleyCoolenson]

thumbs up for loving Brooke Miller?

[voncotta]

I fell in love with Brooke Miller right then and there

[15fthorn]

hi brooke,you should definatley do an acoustic solo album - you songs and playing have all the prescence of a full band - just without all the clutter covering up what truly powerfull songs they are.......it's hard to make a really good song better by adding a band........you cant beat the personal delivery of a solo performance(just my two penneth!) i love your music - sam x x x

[blewsyboy]

it's like joanie mitchell and rickie lee jones had a kid, n tracy chapman babysat alot...wow

[Kimoki313]

@blewsyboy

that's my favorite comment on youtube yet.

[tscholent]

@blewsyboy tia...except none of them knew how to play a guitar for real.....

[unclesam49788]

i saw this live with don ross on a slide guitar. it was amazing.

[brianbelaire]

smokin guitar playing.......great song!

[Msagr]

love you xD Hope ur not a bitch!

[slh1003]

Absolutely love it!!!!! Hate to compare but Shawn Colvin??????????

[dougger42]

Please Please come to Eugene Oregon on a weekend!!!

[StringFever1]

Great song Brooke! Kinda reminds me of Joni Mitchell like the Blue album, on steroids!

[dodothewhale]

like the guitar in this song! :)

[Ketorie21]

Love love loove it !!! :-D

[KarlToth]

thats so good :D

[cujomade101]

Hey Brooke, I was lucky enough to catch you and Don in Regina in the spring, and I have to say, I loved all of it. Keep it up and I hope the small crowd doesn't keep you from coming back.

[MarcellinusHH]

Bonjour Brooke,

Je viens de recevoir ton CD (avec une rapidité surprenante, merci CandyRat !) et je voulais te dire que j'adore ! J'espère te voir bientôt en concert en Europe.

See you

Marcel Van Dam

[SCNAVHDA]

Wow. Just found you. Love you. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

St. Stephen

[wdchrismon]

With a rose?

[MrookeBiller]

thanks everyone for such incredible feed back! I honestly love hearing what constructive things you have to say.

It's important to me!

you can look forward to TWO new recordings from me for 2010!

I'm very excited!

keep watching. tell yer friends.

and be well,

Best,

Brooke

[jessicar55]

wow........

[wunism]

Absolutey wonderful playing and song. I agree with the previous comment about an acoustic rendition of your album. Its also great to watch your expressions when playing....thanks for posting this. Your my newest great accidental discovery. Good luck!

[nickbonzer]

Hi Brooke....Can I start by saying I love your playing and singing and your songs are awesome. Excellent stuff......

However. Is it just me but I feel your solo recorded stuff just shows how talented you are yet your album turns these excellent songs into so much of the same stuff I have heard elesewhere before...so many times......I think that a solo guitar album without the overproduction would have sold like hot potatoes...just my view....XXX

[semisuperhero]

opps...dropped a "d" hahahaha!!!!

[semisuperhero]

Hey Brooke!! My name is Jonathan and I'm from Halifax, however now residing in Vancouver. "everything's in bloom here...and I don't care!" I think everyone on the Candyrat label is amazing!!

I love all your music and play along with your tunes on bass an guitar every day. I think an acoustic album would be great!

Keep up the good work! Your music touches me and many others I'm sure.

I hope to see you and Don..and Andy..and Antoine...ect, preform soon!! LOL : )

[MrookeBiller]

RIGHT ON SEMISUPERHERO!

thanks for writing.

now a fellow Haligonian,

Brooke

[shanghaijerry]

Hi Brooke, Although I have not heard your cd, based on what I hear here (haha) I vote YES to an acoustic version. Shanghaijerry

[MrookeBiller]

Hey everyone,

I'm taking a poll....what do you think of me releasing an acoustic version of my last record 'You Can See Everything'

?

Just vocals and guitar...

would love to hear your constructive feedback.

best,

BM

[lqueso]

Brooke,

Actually would like to hear new stuff. I've worn out "You Can See Everything".

Regards, Steve in Austin

[wdchrismon]

I'd love it! Love the album as it is, mind, but I think your a brilliant guitarist with a fantastic voice, and a backing band has a way of... I guess "covering up," is what I'm getting at. To me, you also seemed slightly more reserved on the album than you do in your Candyrat recordings, and I love it when you belt a song out! So, I'd buy it.

[ed677]

That would be Awesome!

[MarcellinusHH]

Hi Brooke,

First of all i would like to say that I really adore your album. There's a nice balance between up tempo songs and smooth ballads. The band is playing wonderfull, especially when it comes in at the beginning of "Everywhere" and that extraordinary guitar/bass solo. But to answer the question, people often ask if the cd sounds like the show they'd just seen and for that reason it's interesting to have a solo cd after a solo performance...

[MarcellinusHH]

... the other reason is that you sound great as well performing solo. Both your guitarplay and voice are technically and emotionnally amazing !

Hope to see you soon in concert.

Take care,

Marcel Van Dam

[Bluebuthappy182]

@MrookeBiller To be honest that sounds great, you and a guitar and a some decent songs, can see nothing wrong with that at all.

[DjUnoSagune]

@MrookeBiller

I just saw your comment now, but if you're still thinking of doing this (releasing an accoustic only cd) you should do it! I have your other one and I love it, but I can't tell you how much I love your acoustic versions as well.

[peternincumpoop]

@MrookeBiller Yes Please! I just discovered you, Andy and Don today (hooray for me!) and you are incredible. Your voice and guitar is all your beautiful songs need. Any additional production could ONLY be overproduction, IMO.

Best wishes and keep up the great music!!!

[rlouie]

@MrookeBiller

I would love for you to do that

[tazd594]

@MrookeBiller YES!!! I was hoping you'd do this for so long, you have no idea. I'd buy it in a heartbeat!!

[richarddicosimo]

@MrookeBiller Absolutely!!!!

[himrasmus101]

@MrookeBiller I'm too late but hell ya that would be awesome.

[projectoz88]

@MrookeBiller Totaly do it your music is beautiful.

[zooboy73]

Hi Brooke

I'm a little late to reply but you should definately do it. "You Can See Everything" is a great album. Those songs can certainly stand on there own. I love hearing the stripped down versions of songs.

[zooboy73]

Hey Brooke

You haven't updated your website in a while. Are you going to be touring in the Maritimes any time soon. We're always available for a house concert if your around St Andrews, NB

[kwilcox417]

@MrookeBiller Please do this. I honestly like these songs on Youtube better than the ones with a backing band.

[IneffableObscurity]

@MrookeBiller Yes, yes and yes. Please do.

[lakp1992]

@MrookeBiller yes plox :)

[1larrivee]

@MrookeBiller yes and throw in a couple of original too pls . phil b

[scrubmacdub]

@MrookeBiller that would be amazing!! recordings of just vocals and guitar would really do your talent justice

[SpruehregenAG]

@MrookeBiller pleeeeasssee. and upload a version of "then there you are" thank you so much for your songs. They give a lot to me.

[metroiddude123]

@MrookeBiller An acoustic version would be amazing! Sometimes I feel like the band just gets in the way of you and your sound, which is what I really want to hear when I listen to you and why I prefer these acoustic versions of your songs on youtube. I would buy that acoustic album the minute it comes out. No no, the SECOND it comes out!

[metroiddude123]

[kwilcox417]

@MrookeBiller Please do this!

[Rightcheous]

[mahcuz]

Doubt it..

[portugacareca]

Great, girl! I love it! thank you for your music!

[MaiaGlor]

awesome

[nickbonzer]

You know what ....fuck x factor and all that rubbish...heres real talent ......and not just someone who has a good voice ...a shallow veneer ! .....She plays, writes and performs ....awsome....i love her timings....how does she play a different timing from her singing...WOW...

[Fiischstab]

Wow! She's awesome =D

I really like her voice <3

[EcstaticMomentz]

This is Awesome ~

[shwiing89]

I like her as an artist, she has a twinge of Eva cassidy about her style .. Beautiful

[sooroadie]

Brooke is such a great talent. She and Don Ross put on an awesome concert last year at the Soo Theatre . They will be back in Oct. I've posted a video of this song live from that concert ...please check it out

[aurigos]

She's utterly fantastic. Great voice, fantastic smile :)

[WorldSuperLegend]

I think where f#&king lucky to have this candyrat site floating around. Who was it that said girls can't play guitar? Oh well, they were wrong XD

[1Zielona1]

Brooke, best wishes from Poland:)

Beautiful:)

[bomber99uk]

how come all the other candyrat artists have got tab.. cmon don .. sort it out fella.. its yor babes music..

[bomber99uk]

i love you brooke .. yor musics so cool .. but we need tab... gotta spread the word babe.. lets get it on.. ))))

[danzilla777]

voice sux. and yes i cant sing either.

[panelacosmica]

haha, can't believe why people like u comment... dumbfucks

[rmweav11]

and that, Danzilla777 is why you are posting comments on actual artists videos while the artists are making videos and actually sharing the love and personal stories withing their music.

[superjoffen]

this is beautiful, why havnt i seen her on the tv yet?!..i wish we had people like this in the uk..

Brooke Miller come to the UK! ENGLAND!

[akj375]

You haven't heard her on TV yet because this is music; not to be mistaken for the noise which most often substitutes for music, and is designed purely for mindless entertainment of the bovine which constitute popular culture. Am I elitist? No, I simply have standards and MTV can eat S*&T!

[MichaelLovesGuitars]

Back to the tuning EGCGBE (Capo 3) and tab problem: If anyone find the tabs or is able to write it down post the link here please. Thanks this hero in advance.

@Brooke: Please write more songs like this and play it solo and acoustic: The version with band don't rock like this! I want to buy exactly this song (only your great guitar playing along with your beautiful voice), but only find the album version. Please do something ;-)

[ChuckMullis]

tabs are on her website.

[MichaelLovesGuitars]

don't find tabs there. under which point?

[philxbx]

I agree. This version is sooooooo much better!

[ChuckMullis]

Tabs are on her candyrat sight

[deweythomson]

i need a new guitar...

[MrookeBiller]

[deweythomson]

how much is it? :)

Ship to germany?

[1BrianBrown]

I want an autographed one!

[ChuckMullis]

What guitar do you play? And model?

[dudeman5790]

hands down the best woman guitarist in the world.

[austinm78025]

screw woman guitarist one of the best guitarist period up there with monte montgomery but a differant style and shes hot

[bomber99uk]

[NevWhite77]

I LOVE this song. Theres nothing like emotion and melody handed to ya on a hard day.

[ChuckMullis]

Stil sweet as ever !!!!! Love this song !!!!!!

[RhylansvRS]

Brooke - I have little to say other than you are truly gifted - thank you for sharing your talent with the masses. Blessings SCx

[beatronchildo]

I know this is anti-constructive, but that was amazing! you are like my fav new find, lyrically, musically, vocally. TRIPLE THREAT haha

[NevWhite77]

This is my favorite song of yours. Its been in my head all day, ahahaha.  Its so relaxing.

[MartinvandeVrugt]

I just LOVE women who can play guitar like this!

[NPC919]

I love that sound... You look a bit like a blonde Hayley Williams : o

Go Candyrat! :)

[adtrforever]

I wish you, Don, and Andy would come to Indiana, US. I know Andy came here last year, but i didn't to go because it was 21 and up. Do you know if you will be coming to my area anytime in 2009? If only i was 21=\

[bomber99uk]

hi brooke..

hows the tab comin on.. ) did u have a good new year.. ))

[HungarianGuitarist]

just one more think... the album version is sooooo COOOOOOOL :DDD

[HungarianGuitarist]

my back is you know... flash creep or something :)

no words to derscribe, i just feel the song in my heart!:) thats all :)

[Friteuze]

Beautiful.Tablature would be nice.

[poisenbery]

my guitar is in the tuning right now

i wanna learn this its awesome

[Friteuze]

I've scrolled trough your favorites. Great how many new great guitarists you can discover by YouTube. great taste poisenbery.

[AvantGardenUK]

what tuning ?

[RhylansvRS]

See brooke's website for lyrics and tunings...

[turtlens]

Charlie Hunter (Flying Under Radar) runs music festivals on trains. The one in Canada typically travels between Toronto and Vancouver (& vice versa) on Via Rail, viz. Roots On The Rails. At least one of the train cars is a dome car. Sounds to me as if Brooke Miller has been on one of these, either as an audience member, or an artist.

[MrookeBiller]

this song was written after i went on one of those festivals .

there ya have it

[turtlens]

Thanks. I went on one in 2005 with Nanci Griffith, Tom Russell, Andrew Hardin, Mary Gauthier, & Gretchen Peters. It was a great time.

[ed677]

how fabolous. you just made my day!

[freddh2]

Hey Brooke!

Do you think that we'll get a chance of seeing you someday in Europe? Andy mentioned in his latest blog that he might be stopping by France next spring. Any idea whether Don or you might join him or not (I know Don's planning on going back to Germany, so...)

Anyway, lots of hugs to you both from over here. Might prove useful cos' temperatures have felt just like Canada lately ;-)

Take care

-Fred

[gobyfishmusic]

Hi Fred,

Plans are n the works for some French shows for Brooke and me in 2009. Keep checking the websites. Andy's focussing on solo touring this year, and I'll be touring a lot with Brooke. I'm sure we'll finally get to meet you in '09!

À bientôt!

Don Ross

[freddh2]

Hey Don,

thanks a lot for the info. I'm really looking forward to seeing the two of you live. So many people talk about it as a moment of pure magic! And I believe they're right, considering lots of us get shivers just by watching you on youtube.

I'll keep a close eye on your websites. And thanks again for coming all the way to Europe so often.

All the best,

-Fred

[MrookeBiller]

Hi everyone,

thanks for your constructive thoughts. I appreciate a lot of what is being said, and really appreciate your listening. (insultsi just ignore, but that's no skin off my back, waste of their time, not mine) Look forward to more of your constructive thoughts, and please, if you have any questions, ask, i'll do my best to answer them all.

I wish you all a warm holiday, especially those of us who are experiencing a NorthAmerican winter. UGH!

Be good to each other.

best, BM

[rlouie]

Pan3405, go away, no one wants to here your vitriol here............don't be jealous just go do your own thing............

[Pan3405]

It seems that it hurts.. critisism.. I can imagine why Perhaps people living in the US are not used to it..

[gobyfishmusic]

Time to give it up, Pan 3405. Criticism is welcome when it's constructive, not when it's just a string of insults. If you don't like the music, watch something else. The videos aren't going to change...

Don

[bomber99uk]

who does the candyrat artist stuff ? tab i mean...?

[bomber99uk]

)))) christmas would be ..nice

best tunes on here girl..)) ijust had a baby boy an i wanna teach him this...one day..

[MrookeBiller]

I WANT TABS TABS TAAAAABS!!!

GIMME GIMME GIMME!

also, if anyone wants to do them FOR me that would be great!

i know, i gotta get them done, maybe this will help

grin

BM

[Pan3405]

Maybe it's because I don't understand a word she's is saying.. I only hear sounds. Perhaps if you imagine replacing the english text for swedish You know what i mean.. Her technique is pretty convincing though

[gobyfishmusic]

Ah, but lack of enunciation never did Ricki Lee Jones (or Elton John or Tom Waits...) any harm! Anyhoo, all her lyrics are on her website! ;-)

Someone who is not used to listening to English is NOT going to 'get' this song.  I'm not wild about the thin-ness of the high end of this guitar but maybe that's in the electronics. I know for certain that
