Fall tour with yMusic, winter with local symphonies Pitchfork sinks their teeth into Vanessa Carlton’s Liberman “Let’s get “A Thousand Miles” out of the way. Fourteen years ago, Vanessa Carlton made a very popu- lar song that will follow her around forever. Fair enough; it’s very catchy. But times have changed. Can’t Vanessa? She recently told CBS News that she “learned a lot” since her debut album, “which is mostly that you don’t know anything.” That’s as good a place as any to reset, which she does with the refresh- ingly raw Liberman. Like the bulk of her recordings, it’s still comprised of her honeysuckle voice and piano licks, but Liber- man (so named after Carlton’s grandfather, one of whose paintings of nudes hangs in her home and served, she says, as a sort of inspiration) either lets those components stand alone or accentuates them with mild indulgences, like blunted brass or hand claps.
