Stand Still, Look Pretty




I recently came across this CD while browsing in my local music shop, and wow is all i could say, this is definitely a gem. Although not well known the wreckers are a band compromised of Michelle Branch and her longtime friend and backing vocalist Jessica Harp, Michelle's pop rock sound is sort of second key in this album, the music is a cross between country, pop and some classical styles.. its unique to say the least. I personally think that its has achieved what most bands these days pay little attention to and thats lyrical content, the songs are Happy, Sad, Joyful and even makes you remember someone (if you loved and lost of course) in your past, i don't see why this album wasn't bigger in sales. It appeals to the mellow side of people. I love each song and currently have it spinning on my CD player after a couple listens the words are easy to learn. Listed below are the tracks
