Review of Album Heavy Load

Robust, earthy vocals combine with originals equally true to the roots on Michael-Ann's first full-length release.  That said, the Missouri-bred, LA-based singer/songwriter on occasion graces her classic country melodies with fresh, low-key touches, as simple as an unexpected chord change.  Ballads are a strong feature, including the torchy “Hard To Breathe”.  The title track, a soulful mid-tempo rocker, is a good airplay bet as well. Instrumental backup is solid throughout.
