On their Maverick debut, Stand Still Look Pretty, the Wreckers offer music that must be heard, with a story behind it that must be told. First, the music: This is modern country at its best, sung with soul in heartfelt harmonies over a rhythm bed that alternately scoots, sways, and slams. From the first single, the assertive and exuberant "Leave The Pieces" to the down-home hoot "Crazy People," Stand Still Look Pretty hits the highest standards of both country and pop, with more than a little rock & roll tossed in for that extra bite.

Then there's the story. It's about, first of all, friendship, between two gifted performers who met when both were struggling for a foothold in the music business. One of them, Michelle Branch, seized the moment in 2001 with her first solo release on Maverick, The Spirit Room. Still in her teens, she was swept onto major tours and recruited by legendary guitarist Carlos Santana for a Grammy-winning duet, "Game of Love." The wild ride continued with Hotel Paper, which shot to number two on Billboard's Hot 200 and confirmed Michelle's staying power as an artist.

So, now what was next for Michelle?

"Toward the end of my last solo tour I was trying to figure out what else I might want to do, so I started thinking about making the organic singer/songwriter country type of record I'd always wanted to do."

It turns out that key to realizing this dream had been at her side, on the road during her tour, in the person of Jessica Harp. Their connection actually stretched back to when both were edging into the business as singers and songwriters.

The next step was to call John Leventhal, who had produced part of Michelle's Hotel Paper, in New York. The Grammy-winning producer, celebrated for his work with distinguished singer/songwriters like Shawn Colvin, Rodney Crowell, Patty Larkin, and Roseanne Cash, signed on immediately to work on most of their tracks at his studio in New York. On several cuts, though, other producers leant their distinctive hands: John Shanks in L.A. (Sheryl Crow, Anastacia, Pink), whose edgy sensibility had complemented Michelle's sound on Everywhere and Spirit Room, and Nashville ace Paul Worley (Big & Rich, Martina McBride, Pam Tillis), whose aesthetic fit the down-home spirit of tracks like "My Oh My."

The result of these diverse efforts is an album that's rich sonic tapestries, edgy yet rootsy, which emphasizes the common strengths and complementary differences in Michelle's and Jessica's music.
