Artist: The Wreckers
Album: Way Back Home: Live From New York City
Websites: Official Site

Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp make up The Wreckers. The duo incorporate their musical backgrounds of pop-rock, classical and country to create their sound. Michelle and Jessica combine their voices on Way Back Home: Live From New York City harmoniously, making the entire album a well-orchestrated blend of vocal and lyrical greatness.

All the songs on this live album speak to everyone. For those looking for love or trying to figure things out relationship-wise, you should listen to some of the lyrics in "Cigarettes": ‘Cause someday maybe/ Somebody will love me like I need/And someday I won't have to prove/ ‘Cause somebody will see/ All my worth but until then/ I'll do just fine on my own/ With my cigarettes and this old dirt road.

"Stand Still, Look Pretty" is for all the people out there having a hard time dealing with their lives and how other people view them: I am slowly falling apart/ I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start/ And you might think it's easy being me/ You just stand still, look pretty.

Final Analysis: I've become a new fan of The Wreckers. Sometimes going to concerts or listening to albums of concerts, audiences realize that the singers/groups might sound great recorded but sound like crap live. The Wreckers have no problem keeping fans in love with them, whether people listen to The Wreckers' recorded albums or this one. Listening to the first song on the album to the final chord on the last track is a great experience; the feeling of being in the front row at the concert is undeniable. Close your eyes while listening to the melodious tunes on Way Back Home: Live From New York City, or just get up and dance!
