Allison Moorer was born into a musical family and raised in the small
southern Alabama town of Frankville; when Moorer's father shot her mother
and then turned the gun on himself, older sister Shelby Lynne -- soon to
become a country singer herself -- took charge of raising Allison. After
attending the University of South Alabama, Moorer moved to Nashville, hoping
to get her start as a studio backing vocalist.

She struck up a songwriting partnership with musician and future husband
Butch Primm, and soon signed a publishing deal. Performances of Walter
Hyatt's "Tell Me Baby" at benefit shows for the late singer's family landed
Moorer a contract with MCA Nashville. Moorer's big break came when "A Soft
Place to Fall," a track she had co-written with Gwil Owen, was tapped for
inclusion on the soundtrack of The Horse Whisperer; it garnered rave reviews,
as well as an appearance in the film itself for Moorer, and set the stage
for the singer's 1998 debut album, Alabama Song. She returned with another
solo effort in 2000 with The Hardest Part. Two years later, Moorer had a new
deal with Universal South and released a third album, Miss Fortune later
that summer. Show, which was recorded in January 2003 at Nashville's 12th &
Porter, appeared in June. Her sister, Shelby Lynne and Kid Rock joined
Moorer for this first time live recording. Not slowing down, Moorer found a
new label home with Sugar Hill in early 2004. The Duel, recorded with a new
studio band in less than two weeks, was released in April of 2004. |
