Charming, that’s the first word that comes to mind when listening to The Band Perry and their debut single "Hip To My Heart."  Featuring Reid Perry, Neil Perry and their lead vocalist sister Kimberly Perry, the Band Perry is the latest signee to the new Republic Nashville Records label that is co-owned by Universal Republic and Big Machine Records.  Melodically "Hip To My Heart" has a pop-ish slant to it but the Perry siblings musical chops are present as they play some stellar country licks while backing Kimberly who can only be described as a firebrand vocalist that has the southern charm of Jennifer Nettles mixed with the rock-ish chops of Bonnie Raitt with a slight dash of Linda Perry thrown in for good measure. 

"Hip To My Heart" has cute lyrics about young love and it isn't long before the chorus is embedded in your memory.  While I really like Jypsi, I can't help but feel as if The Band Perry hasn't eclipsed them with this song which is quirky, cute and fun, much like Jypsi's "Mister Officer" single is.  I would be really surprised if "Hip To My Heart" doesn't catch on with fans, CMT and radio.  It's too catchy, to well-done, and just too damn charming not to.
