    An adventurous singer/songwriter just like her sister Shelby Lynne, the vocally gifted Moorer doesn't shy away from bucking country tradition. In fact, she seems to revel in it.
  2. All Music Guide

    Make no mistake: This is a country album, but it's closer to what the music might have become rather than to where it has sunk in its current doldrums.
  3. Splendid
    80
    A rich, varied and emotionally resonant album that eschews AOR sugar fixes for smart, graceful songwriting and soulful but unshowy performances.
  4. Neumu.net
    60
    The strength Moorer has shown from first album to second album and finally to this genre-leaping experiment in self-recreation is enough to not only merit a listen, but to make sure we pay attention to the fourth album when it arrives.

    Bloody Brilliant!! Anybody that doesn't like this album just doesn't get it. Dark, moody, melancholy in the tradition of Hank Williams, George Jones, Gram Parsons, and Emmy Lou Harris, the music is at the same time current and fresh. Moorer and her sister, Shelby Lynne, are making albums that show what country music can be rather than the generic, commercial pablum made by most of today's country singers.… Expand
