    Producer Steve Earle gives Moorer an edge combined with grace, and Moorer's lyrics never go into the superficial. If an alt-country singer goes pop, this is the way to do it.

    I became a fan of Allison's with " Miss Fortune". To me, this is her best work since that great record. My favorite track on the CD would have to be "Where You Are" - simply fantastic! Keep up the great writing Allison - you just keep getting better.

    Here's where I don't understand the ratings system... four of the five reviews rank this at 70 or better... one doesn't and the result is under 70... go figure. Anyway, Steve Earle's production drives the sound in a new direction for Alison which in this case is a good thing.

    Moorer's understated voice doesn't always rise to the arrangements. [16 Jun 2006, p.77]

    A stunning shot of muscular, melodic rock.

    Getting Somewhere is the first of her albums that not even her vocals can save.
