It's been ten years since Michelle Wright delivered a full slate of country material and with the release of Everything And More one would have to agree that the return home is a welcome one. Does the return to sounds and signatures that brought this award-winning artist to the dance come as a surprise? It shouldn't. Artists who have worked for the kind of success that Michelle has enjoyed over the past two decades eventually come full circle. With Everything And More the award-winning singer marries her immediately identifiable alto voice with an impressive collection of new material that mirrors so many of the changes in attitude and emotion that Michelle has experienced as new chapters of her life have been written. Some songs are celebrations that come from first hand experiences, while others come from that place of insightful observation that has always worked so well for this Ontario-born artist who first established herself as a force back in the early 'nineties during her tenure with Arista Records Nashville. A heartfelt combination of emotions and points of view, coupled with effective shifts in arrangements and tempos, make Everything And More a complete package that finds Michelle singing with conviction and passion, and, when called for, injecting the right amount of urgency or subtle shading. It is the kind of album that should make for new additions to the list of twenty-five top ten hits she's already produced in her impressive career. Take It Like A Man, He Would Be Sixteen, Guitar Talk, The Answer Is Yes, Nobody's Girl, Your Love, and I Surrender are just a few of the songs that continue to make her live shows such spectacular events. Today, at a point in her career where there is both much to both look forward to and much to reflect upon, Michelle is grateful for the successes she's enjoyed and the lessons learned. "We all have a lot of talented friends whose dreams have not been fulfilled. It's just the way it goes sometimes. But, for me, the ride so far has been awesome. My career has taken me to every continent except Antarctica, and I've just had so much fun." And the adventure and fun are anything but over as Michelle gets set to introduce fans to the new tunes on Everything And More alongside her catalog of hits. "Am I ready to be on the road? You bet," smiles Michelle as she prepares to add another chapter to what has thus far been one of the most successful stories in Canadian country music history.
