Brandi Carlile on Good Hang with Amy Poehler
The Hang, in Short
Marin Morris stops by from backstage in Manchester to hype up Brandi Carlile, and somehow they end up riffing about what happens if you're stuck in traffic when Dolly Parton's waiting. Marin's take? "I'd probably quit music. I quit music, Dolly." She's there because of the Highwomen, that supergroup Brandi pulled together with Amanda Shires and Natalie Hemby. The origin story is perfect: Brandi literally called Marin at 30 Rock right before she went on Fallon and said "I'm putting this girl group together" and Marin didn't ask questions. They bonded singing "Natural Woman" together at some Nashville awards thing. The Dolly detail that stuck with Marin? She still sings everything in the original key. Also she's extremely punctual. Amy promises to ask Brandi about touring with kids, which, yeah, that'll hit.
