She doesn't remind me of Vanessa either...she doesn't remind me of anyone. I love her music and her voice--there's nothing else like it. 
Personally, I really wish she wasn't doing an album with Jessica. I prefer her as a solo artist. :roll: But that's just my opinion...and I'll probably get The Wreckers' album. I just fear it won't be as good as Michelle's solo efforts.
If she didn't do the album w/ Jess, she wouldn't have done a solo album. The Wreckers project was pretty much what was inspiring her at the moment when she was at a not-so-great point in her solo career and feeling very frustrated with many things.
The album songs are fantastic. I would not say they are really purely country at all, but a variety of influences from folk to rock. The songs are gorgeous and I've heard several album versions and they're amazing. I am pretty snobby about music and am not just saying this because Jessica is a friend of mine.
However, because of Michelle's pregnancy, Jessica is proceeding with a solo album and there are delays with the Wreckers album. It may be 2006 before it is out, but then it will depend on Jessica's schedule. We'll see what happens. Jessica actually IS doing a country album, though, but those who don't like country don't have to listen to it
(We redesigned her site by the way which you can find at
www.jessicaharp.net and many new songs are coming soon. We're adding a Flash player within the next two weeks to the site).
I really think that their record will impress a lot of people. Even those that feel negatively right now. But the record just needs to come OUT.
