Listen: Hear Brandi Carlile Cover 'Home' From THE WIZ For TED LASSO

Brandi Carlile has released her rendition of “Home” from The Wiz. The cover is featured in this week’s penultimate episode of Ted Lasso season three, now streaming on Apple TV+.  

Produced by Carlile at ShangriLa Studios, the recording features Matt Chamberlain (drums), Sebastian Steinberg (bass), Dave Palmer (piano/organ) and Chauntee and Monique Ross (strings).

The Wiz is also set to make its return to Broadway in 2024 with an entirely reimagined revival. Featuring a book by William F. Brown and a Tony Award-winning score by Charlie Smalls (and others), the production is directed by Schele Williams, choreographed by JaQuel Knight, additional material by Amber Ruffin, and music supervision, orchestrations, and music arrangements by Joseph Joubert.

Based on L. Frank Baum's children's book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", The Wiz takes one of the world's most enduring (and enduringly white) American fantasies, and transforms it into an all-Black musical extravaganza for the ages. It was adapted into a film in 1978 starring Diana Ross. Casting for the new production has yet to be announced.

The new song is the latest studio work from Carlile, whose recent producer projects include Shucked songwriter Brandy Clark’s acclaimed new self-titled album, which was just released on Friday as well as upcoming projects with Tanya Tucker and Joni Mitchell. 

Next month, Carlile’s once-in-a-lifetime “Echoes Through the Canyon” weekend will take place at Washington’s Gorge Amphitheatre in June. The three-night run kicks off Friday, June 9 with Carlile’s annual headline concert with special guests Marcus Mumford and Allison Russell, followed by legendary artist Joni Mitchell’s “Joni Jam” Saturday, June 10 with Carlile opening.

The final night, June 11, will feature The Highwomen with special guest Tanya Tucker. Furthermore, Carlile will perform select headline shows through the year and will join P!NK on her “Summer Carnival 2023” stadium tour. See below for complete tour itinerary.
