    In an era of bloated and overproduced albums, Moorer has delivered a small wonder with Getting Somewhere, and it ranks with her best music to date.

    A set of punchy roots pop whose backbeat thumps as hard as her still-wounded heart. [Jul 2006, p.86]

    Moorer's most muscularly produced and pointedly written release. [Aug 2006, p.87]

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

    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.… Expand

    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.… Expand
