...branch, issuing out of the fly zip of a pair of jeans, caught like flies on a fly paper, dressed in tight silver and snapped on a country swing. The insert also provides the words of all the songs.

However, with 'Fly' they have managed to recreate the foot tapping, catchy beats, ... ...a fan of Country as a genre, and having witnessed many country acts live, I certainly have a penchant for such music, however I have yet to hear anybody who has the ability to deliver upbeat numbers that you can dance to, mixed in with soul searching tear jerking ballads, like these girls.
