Michelle Branch Gets Wrecked

Over a late-night chili dog at a Grammy after-party in Los Angeles, singer-songwriter Michelle Branch told Rolling Stone about the Wreckers' forthcoming debut, Stand Still, Look Pretty, due in May. "It's a country record," she said of her album with fellow Wrecker Jessica Harp. The first single, "Leave the Pieces," will hit radio soon. "We just shot the video. It was really fun."

The duo will be hitting the road for a promotional tour this Sunday in Nashville -- with Branch and bassist Teddy Landau's six-month-old daughter, Owen Isabel, in tow. Said Branch, "We're doing it all by bus since we can't fly with [Owen]."

The twenty-two-year-old's last release was 2003's Hotel Paper, which peaked at Number Two on the chart.

As for the chili dog, which came from famed L.A. institution Pink's, Branch figured it was all or nothing. "I've been on a diet," she said, "and if I'm going for it, I gotta go for it."
