Though Hilary Scott is an exceptional songwriter, I believe she has progressed into a master storyteller as well. “Still” takes us through emotions like the colors in a kaleidoscope. Her powerful voice is strong, yet sultry and sexy. She shows her softer side with lilting ballads like Untitled (So Long), Fighting Odds (Take What You Get) and of course the title track, Still.

I have to say, I love the quality the production, mixing and mastering has brought out in this EP. It has a very polished feel, without impeding Hilary Scott’s fabulous natural vocal style. Quite an exceptional job.

The 3 tracks I have set aside are:

1 – Labor Of Love
This song has an upbeat tempo and feel. Hilary Scott shines, demonstrating her powerful vocal. I love the different tones and inflections of her voice during this song. This woman is simply incredible. Hilary Scott And The New County Line certainly nails the instrumentation. The use of the piano gives the song a full bodied feel, that is splendid. Lyrics are solid, delivering a tale of love and relationships. Gorgeous!

2 – Fighting Odds (Take What You Get)
Another treasure off Hilary Scott And The New County Line “Still” EP. It opens with an outstanding acoustic guitar intro, then opens with the clear and concise voice of Hilary Scott. It quickly moves into a rock ballad that would be the envy of many. Hilary Scott is such an outstanding singer with an impressive range. Brilliant.

3 – Still
The title track “Still” features Hilary Scott’s tender side. This song’s solid lyrics melding with Hilary’s sultry voice could melt any heart. Certainly Hilary Scott And The New County Line can deliver songs that can stand the test of time. Take time to listen to the instrumentation on this track as well. They have done a superior job at making the track the best it can be. Bravo!
