Michelle Branch's “The Spirit Room” turns 25, and we're going track by track through the album that gave us "Everywhere," "All You Wanted" and "Goodbye to You." This is our honest review of her 2001 major-label debut, made at 17 with producer John Shanks, from the hits to the deep cuts nobody talks about enough.
Chris has loved this album since he was a kid and has seen Michelle live on almost every tour. Chantel is coming in fresh and wondering if she likes these songs because they're good or because they were on every WB show she grew up with. We get into the Christian TV channel that wanted "Everywhere" to be about Jesus, the most mildly creepy music videos of 2001, the Buffy and Laguna Beach moments, the 2021 re-recordings, and the brand new "Goodbye to You" with Maren Morris from her “Everywhere and Back Again” EP.
