The Band Perry (Republic Nashville, 2010)

Another excellent track is Postcard from Paris, which tells the tale of finding true love, requiring a girl to give up on her phony Mr. Right. "It's like a postcard from Paris/When I've seen the real thing/It's like finding out your diamond is from an old promise ring."
Hip To My Heart is polished country-pop, but is saved by some nice fiddle work, while Quittin' Your is driving rock, with just a touch of twang. All Your Life will hold more appeal for traditional country music fans than either of the first two, especially because of its gentle mandolin and Dobro.
With these mere five songs, it's difficult to tell what direction The Band Perry wants to go - commercial or traditional. So right now, its a coin toss.
Nevertheless, Kimberly Perry is a powerful vocalist, and with this group's advanced ability to write memorable lyrics, The Band Perry won't die young - artistically, at least.
