Allison Moorer - Down to Believing [2015]

[Josh Hurst]

What a week for new releases! Thom Jurek is raving about this one, which sounds like it is at least partially an answer to Steve Earle's own recent record...

First impression: Great record. Feels so confident to me: There's a lot of frayed nerves and heartache here, but also humor and defiance. It's a fiesty, heartfelt collection, and everything is just really on point in terms of production, performance, and songwriting. I was initially skeptical about the record being 13 songs long, but it held my attention and now I'm turning it on for the second time.
