ALLISON MOORER
Here are the things Allison Moorer didn't change when she set out to record The Duel (her indie label debut on Sugar Hill, due April 13) in the summer of 2003: she kept her husband, co-writer and co-producer Butch Primm around, but they're pretty much stuck with each other; she continued to build upon her remarkable rapport with producer R.S. (Bobby, to his friends) Field; and she retained her unwavering devotion to singing hard songs of deep and emotional truth.
And her voice (the one she sings with, and the one she writes in), she didn't change that. Everything else (including her record label) is just a little bit different.
Moorer is a very smart woman and the songs she writes and sings aren't simply vast rivers of untamed emotion. "All the songs on this album could've been called 'The Duel'," she says. "They're all about the fight, not the outcome. The outcome is always about the winners - but during the fight, the losers still think they have a chance."
The back story of The Duel's creation may beg the question, has Allison Moorer abandoned country music? (OK, it's a dumb question: She comes from deepest Alabama, and you'll always hear that in her voice. And it'd be a dumb question even if she came from Alaska.) She shrugs. "First of all, there's the old question, What is country music? I have my own ideas about it, I'm sure you have yours. I know what it means to me, but I don't think about music in terms of "what it is' anymore. I haven't turned my back on anything. I'm happy for anybody who wants to listen to me to listen to me."
For the rest, well, as they used to say, it's in the grooves.
And these details. Moorer received an Academy Award nomination for "A Soft Place To Fall," which appeared on The Horse Whisperer soundtrack. She's made a few videos, cut a duet with Kid Rock, graduated from college. Shelby Lynne is her sister. Their parents died when they were young. Those stories have all been written. The important stuff, what matters to her, is in her songs.
