Her first release since splitting
the Wreckers, the
Everything Comes and Goes EP finds
Michelle Branch remaining in modern country mode, alternating between a purer, twangier variation (the cracking opener “Ready to Let You Go”) and a poppier crossover style that sounds like a mature spin on
Taylor Swift (“Sooner or Later,” “I Want Tears”).
Branch’s time in the country has turned her into a sturdy craftsman of both song and sound, and this EP is as appealing as anything
the Wreckers released. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
