Allison Moorer II

I just got Allison Moorer's 2nd CD, "The Hardest Part." For me, it was a major disappointment. The Nashville String Machine and a string quartet dominate the sound. Not a single song makes it to my "Hard Country" collection tape.

Too bad.

OTOH, "My Perfect World" by Ed Burleson, which I think somebody on the Forum recommended, was a real winner! Very prominent steel from Lloyd Maines and Tommy Detamore, fiddle by Alvin Crow, among others, and NO STRINGS! Thanks to whoever pointed me in their direction.

Cheers,
Alan Shank

I try to keep out of the Country/Not Country debates, but I've got to say that whatever genre it belongs to, "Send Down an Angel" is a great song and a terrific record, - and there is steel on it, as well as the strings and the backwards synth flutes.

Cheers!

I really hate to hear that. I have her first cd and I really liked it.

YOU hate to hear it? Hey, I paid about $17 for it!
