It is her warmest, most ambitious, searing, and gutsy record yet.
-
A wide-ranging sampler of female compositions on which Moorer mostly provides subtle touches and an abundance of cool presence.
-
Moorer takes an approach opposite to Lynne’s on the stripped-down Lovin’, giving each track its own distinct personality: Gillian Welch’s 'Revelator' is droning folk rock, Simone’s 'I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl' an organ-led torch song, June Carter Cash’s 'Ring of Fire' a drum-looped twang-hop. They all deserve a little spotlight.
-
The effortless Mockingbird proves she doesn't need to write to make music that's all her own.
-
Under The RadarThere are some obvious picks, but Moorer is in such fine voice throughout that there's no need to quibble over song selecction. [Winter 2008, p.89]
-
Buddy Miller pares down the arrangements and Moorer relaxes, allowing her dark, sultry voice to simmer. [Mar 2008, p.106]
-
MojoThe use of borowed items invites comparisons, not only with the originals but also with other versions of the same song. And there Moorer fails the test. [Apr 2008, p.102]
