Grammy-nominated and CMA Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Brandy Clark will release her highly anticipated new album, Your Life Is A Record, March 6 on Warner Records. She released the leading single, “Who You Thought I Was,” today.

“The seed of the song came from something that John Prine said a couple of years ago at the Americana Awards. He walked out onstage at the Ryman and everyone stood up and clapped for what felt like five minutes. When everyone sat down, he said with a little laugh, ‘Well, I’m John Prine, but I’d like to go back to being who you thought I was.’ Man…that hit me. The songwriter in me instantly knew it was a song and the heart in me knew it was how I had felt in my own life many times. I mean who of us hasn’t let somebody down or wanted to be the version of ourselves that someone who loved us thought we were?” Clark says.

The album is produced by award winning producer Jay Joyce, and was recorded largely as an acoustic four-piece—featuring Clark, Joyce, Giles Reaves and Jedd Hughes—with subsequent Memphis strings and horns layered in with arrangements by Lester Snell.

To promote the record, Clark will tour throughout 2020 including select dates with Tanya Tucker on the CMT Next Women of Nashville Tour, as well as her own headlining Who You Thought I Was Tour.
