We know by now that Brandi Carlile is capable of a kind of guttural scream that conjures the rabid, extremely pissed-off-and-not-gonna-take-it-anymore agitator within all of us. Case in point: "The Joke," or "The Story," or "Broken Horses."
Somehow though, during her 2026 Newport Folk Festival cover of Alanis Morissette 's 1998 single "Uninvited," she reaches new heights of the ferocious, unhinged Carlile wail that, in the ongoing American shitshow, feels like the catharsis we all need.
There's something subversive in the way that Carlile turns up the rage quotient onstage at Newport. Morissette, when she released Jagged Little Pill in 1995, was immediately tagged as the rage queen: an angry, bitter, man-hating woman, thanks mostly to the sheer emotion in her hit single " You Oughta Know ." It was an instant point of contention between Morissette and her critics, because woman's anger was, and still is, constantly up for public regulation.
