Free Music Review: Wait, When did Allison Moorer become Average??
Hit: 3 Stars
In 2000 if you had asked me who my favorite country singer was, I would have answered unequivicably Allison Moorer. By 2002 or 2003 you had other artists coming into their own, but she still would have been right there in the top 5. Now she is just a country singer I like, but when I am pressed for a certain few artists I would recommend, I generally don't remember her. This is not good because she is one of the best singers in the business, but lately she seems to be relying on that voice to cover a lot of really ugly musical choices. This album, much like Misfortune, has a few brilliant moments, a few really awful ones and a whole lot of really forgettable ones. Both Sides Now could have been a good tune but for Allison's seeming desire to push her voice up into a reedy soprano, which never quite worked. On the other hand, when she settles into the burnished beauty of I'm Looking For Blue Eyes she is as haunting as ever. Dancing Barefoot drives along with the momentum of the guitair and Allison just pretty much rides the waves. And that is the problem with so much of this album--its just coasting.
Allison has long seemed more aware than her counterparts of her lack of commerical sucess and more bothered by that, and one has to wonder if it is taking a toll. Her last two albums have seemed almost ditzily unfocused, almost like an attempt to throw all the pasta at the wall to see what sticks. Getting Somewhere worked out okay because it fell into a bit of a dead space. However, with her sisters lovely reworkings of Dusty Springfield just out and new albums from Tift Merritt and Kathleen Edwards hot on her heels, this album could quite easily get overlooked in the shuffle.
