Editorial Review:
The Wreckers are Grammy-winning songstress Michelle Branch and friend/journeywoman Nashville singer-songwriter Jessica Harp, a team whose solid craftsmanship and soaring, airtight harmonies often lift their hook-smart contemporary country stylings above what's too often mere fizzy, pop-crossover formula. They may have entered the public consciousness via the wide exposure of "Good Kind" on the primetime soap opera One Tree Hill, but the bracing, back-porch charms of the single "Leave the Pieces" should find them a following well beyond that series' teen audience. The reflective title track, gritty folk charms of "Tennessee" and giddy crowd-pleaser "My, Oh My" are suffused with a lyrical maturity that's the perfect counterpoint to the duo's sturdy musical constructs. Solid songs all, delivered with a muscular vocal conviction that does considerably more than merely sell them. --Jerry McCulley
The Wreckers are about creation, not destruction. Bringing together two young, fearless female singersongwriter-acoustic guitarists—Grammy®-winning, platinum-selling Michelle Branch and collaborator Jessica Harp—The Wreckers' debut album, Stand Still, Look Pretty, blends Branch's pop-rock sensibility with Harp's country-folk style. Edgy yet rootsy, on Stand Still, Look Pretty, The Wreckers have a ball.

Rating:  - The Wreckers; Stand Still Look Pretty CD Review
The Wreckers is a band like no other. It is a collabaration between country singer Jessica Harp and alternative pop sensation Michelle Branch. I've been a fan of Michelle Branch ever since I heard 'Goodbye to you' on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Charmed'. I noticed this band when I went on Michelle's web-site and it redirected me to the website of said band. I was instantly awe-struck by the background music of 'Leave the Pieces' and found myself visiting the web-site just to listen to the song. ... Read More
Rating: - A Pleasant Surprise
When I first heard michelle branch was releasing a country album, i was a but sceptical, i once i heard stand still look pretty i was amazed, this girl can do no wrong, i'm not a big country fan, and only bought this album becasue of Michelle, but this turned out to be one of my favorite albums of 2006, i'm looking forward to Branch's new solo album this year
Rating: - I like it a lot
I've heard these 2 gals described as a cross between the Dixie Chicks and SHeDAISY. I'd agree but also add in a touch of the sound of the Corrs, an Irish family band made up of 3 sisters and one brother. I doubt it was intentional, but I can easily imagine Andrea Corr singing Lay Me Down or many of the other tracks on this CD. Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp have, in my opinion, created a very enjoyable sound.
I don't know how many country fans have heard anything by the Coors but if you like ... Read More

I liked the Wreckers first attempt at an album. Some of the songs were interesting, but all in all it was a pretty good CD. I do wish they had not broken up so we could have seen what they would have progressed into. Who knows what life will bring for them and us (their fans).
Rating: - Michelle and Jessica are awesome!
Michelle Branch has produced another excellent album. I'm not usually a fan of country music, but I really enjoy this album. I love how it incorporates Michelle's pop/rock influence along with Jessica's country influence. Their voices sound amazing together which provides beautiful harmony. The Wreckers rock!
