  • Summary: The third album for the singer-songwriter was produced by Rick Rubin.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 6 out of 6
  2. Mixed: 0 out of 6
  3. Negative: 0 out of 6
  1. The production is thick but elegant, applied with full knowledge that the songs could exist beautifully in a sparse acoustic-strummed daze, but that they deserve more than that.
  2. Carlile still prefers sobriety to levity but it never feels affected; it's music that gets under your skin and cuts to the bone.
  3. Give Up the Ghost is another rich offering from this distinctive female talent.
  4. It's her dynamic performances and some inspired collaborators who understand her strengths--in addition to Rubin, Elton John livens up 'Caroline' with some rollicking, ragtime-y piano licks--that make Carlile's Ghost a worthwhile effort.
