Allison Moorer made her impact on the country music world in 1998. Her fiery red hair almost Reba like, but her style is all her own. ALABAMA SONG was her debut album for MCA Nashville, and showed a great deal of promise. The song "A Soft Place To Fall" appeared in the movie THE HORSE WHISPERER, which soon got people interested in her. Her debut album is nothing short of amazing, with heartfelt songs about various aspects of life. The title track is one of my favorites, very errie like production but a beautiful song nonetheless. The album opens with "Pardon Me" which has nice production as well, the song is about someone not understanding why someone is leaving. "The One That Got Away (Got Away With My Heart)" is pure honky tonk country. The closing "Is Heaven Good Enough For You" is a high note to end the album on. Other highlights on here include "Long Black Train", "Tell Me Baby" and "Set You Free". Overall I am pleased with this album mainly because she is not afraid to be country, when the rest of country music is obsessed with crossing over to pop, and she shows true talent.
