Shelby Lynn & Allison Moorer / Not Dark Yet

tooblue,

I listened a little to the Amazon samples.
Is there a backing band with a bass, drums, etc. or is it just acoustic guitars strumming?

There is a band that varies a bit song to song, their choices of artist that they borrowed from and song choices are as good as it gets and grows on you each listen.

tooblue,

I bought this when it was released, played it a few times, was not impressed, but your post here will cause me to give ti another go.  I love both separately, have seen Shelby many times,  Alison twice, but thought, initial impression, they sing/sound better alone than when singing together.  But will give it another go, thanks.

Almost did the same thing, am a big Shelby Lynn fan, don't know much about Allison but really enjoyed her here.

tooblue,  Check out Allison's "The Hardest Part".  It's country rock and the story of the deterioration of her parent's marriage ending in a murder-suicide.  It's not cheerful but it's one of the best albums in this genre, IMHO.  I don't understand why it's not considered a classic.
