Acoustic Breakdown Gone Country

by Hannah Dudley


Country Music: A way of life to many but completely underrated in the UK. I'm going to help change that here as I review and introduce country classics old and new, filtering the trite from the truly brilliant and dispelling your notions that country is corny. A lot of it is, but even then it can be great.

Michelle Branch Back On Form? Free Download Feat. Dwight Yoakam!

I was an enormous Michelle Branch fan when she first blazed into the US charts back in around 2001 with her album 'The Spirit Room'. Since then she's released a few studio/live albums, two of which were recorded as the country duo 'The Wreckers' with Jessica Harp. It was a great album but the band has since disbanded and Michelle has returned to, I have to say, fairly lacklustre rock/pop material lacking any real country edge (or any edge at all!). It seems her label felt the same way and her long awaited third solo album with Warner was ditched.

BUT...Michelle's been giving away free downloads of tracks from said ditched album over the last few weeks, and the latest offering is incredibly promising! A duet with country ledge Dwight Yoakam, 'Long Goodbye' is absolutely the direction Ms Branch should continue in. Make sure you give it a listen or ten!

To get your free download of the track, go to michellebranch.com or take a listen first in the player:
