Issued on Brooke's own Bad Dog Records label and co-produced by Bob Clearmountain, Careful What You Wish For, Jonatha Brooke's most recent studio album. It serves as the culmination of two years of new adventures, including her 10-night residency in support of 2004's Circus at The Anspacher Theater in the Public Theater complex in New York, her solo opening-act duties for singer Joe Cocker's tour from May to October 2005, and some new song writing collaborations. Careful What You Wish For is Brooke's ninth album, dating back to her early-'90s folk-pop band, The Story. The duo released two albums for Elektra, Grace in Gravity (initially issued by Green Linnet) and The Angel in the House, before parting paths in 1994. Brooke then launched her solo career in 1995 with Plumb (MCA/Blue Thumb), followed two years later by 10 Cent Wings (MCA/Refuge). In 1998, she broke from major-label constraints, becoming a pioneer of DIY indie labels by forming Bad Dog Records, which released Jonatha Brooke Live (1998), Steady Pull (2001), Back in the Circus (2004) and the DVD/CD Live in New York (2005). Brooke's songs have been featured in numerous network TV programs including Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Dawson's Creek, Charmed, Related, Once and Again as well as The Olympics. She wrote "I'll Try" for the Disney animated sequel Peter Pan Return To Neverland.
