As an Australian user, I came across The Wreckers through a friend. I preordered this album (limited edition CD/DVD) through Amazon, and it was worth every cent. A great collection of easy to listen tracks.

Having heard these young ladies on the radio and finding their harmonies reminiscent of The Kinleys, Dixie Chicks and SheDaisy, I bought the CD with nothing else to recommend it. It's a disappointment on a couple of levels.

They have nice voices. Not great voices but nice, pleasant voices and they harmonize well. Not having a great voice can still work okay if there is something to say. On this recording, the material is weak. Very, very weak. Not one song is really interesting or stands out in the vast quagmire of today's country-pop radio playlist. Every song is immaculately produced to sound like everything else deemed worthy of radio airplay.

This recording never rises above the level of mediocrity. On that level, it would rank three stars. However, there is obviously some talent here that needs someone or something to kickstart it. That is what is really disappointing and, because it could have been a better recording, I can only give it two-stars.

Well, The Wreckers definitely have potential. This is labeled as a country album and getting plenty of air time on the metropolitan country stations "Leave the pieces" is really good.
"Way back home" is pretty good. However "the good kind" is a pretty good pop song and from there the album seems to all run together. Seemless with sameness. Pure pop.
I guess the blame if any should go to the record producers. They can't call it pure pop and it's not quite country so they say "hey! let's slap a country label on it and see where it goes". This is their 1st attempt at a country cd so I give them credit and the benefit of the doubt and wait to see what they do next.
Bottom line; If you're a true country fan you'll like a couple maybe 3 songs. On the other hand if you are in the process of crossing over to country or like a mix of lots of pop and a little country, it's worth aquiring for your collection.

I have been a fan of Michelle Branch's music for some time and I eagerly awaited the release of her next album. This collaboration with Jessica Harp is a serious break from the genre of music that Michelle wrote for her previous releases. She has taken on a very country sound but as ever she does it well. I would recommend this album for anyone who is looking for something to chill out and relax to and I cannot wait to see what her next album will bring.

Michelle Branch faced a lot of trouble with her record company when she wanted to go country, but it was all worth it. This new project with friend jessica harp is an amazing collection of songs that can be appreciated by pop, rock and country fans. i wish this incredible duo all the best. Michelle Branch has changed my life
