15年前的慘劇打擊了鄉(xiāng)村明星姐妹Shelby Lynne 和 Allison Moorer，在一場爭執(zhí)中，她們的父親舉槍射擊妻子，然后把槍口對準了自己。Lynne當時才17歲，慘劇后留給她的責任是將其妹妹撫養(yǎng)長大。以往，Lynne和Moorer沉浸于音樂制作，而對成長中遇到的各種困難閉口不談。 by Steve Huey Allison Moorer was born into a musical family and raised in the small southern Alabama town of Frankville; when Moorers 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 Hyatts Tell Me Baby at benefit shows for the late singers family landed Moorer a contract with MCA Nashville. Moorers 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 singers 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 Nashvilles 12th & Porter, appeared in June. Her sister 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. Two years later her sixth album, Getting Somewhere, came out.
