Music reviews of A Moment in Time
Music Review: Lorrie in her element
Rating: 5 Stars
Lorrie Morgan loves to sing oldies. All of her most successful albums contained at least a couple of covers including such classics as Eight days a week, It`s a heartache, Picture of me without you and Will you still love me tomorrow (to name a few), while she also recorded Secret love, an entire album of pop oldies. So while I enjoy hearing Lorrie sing original material, I was very pleased to learn that she had recorded another entire album of covers. While most of the songs are reasonably familiar, most of them have not been covered excessively.
The set opens with Cry, the old Johnnie Ray classic, which is by far the most covered song here. Lynn Anderson had a top three country hit in the seventies, then Crystal Gayle had a number one country hit with it in the eighties, so the song is clearly popular with country fans. Willie Nelson and Janie Fricke are among the other country singers to have covered the song. If there is one song here that has been excessively covered, it would be Cry, but I never tire of hearing this song. I wouldn't like to say whose version is best, but Lorrie's version is well up to the standard I expected.
The second track, Are you lonesome tonight, is perhaps the most famous song here, even ahead of Cry, because it became one of Elvis Presley's classics. Despite this, and despite it being a much older song than Cry (it was originally an American hit for Vaughn DeLeath in 1927) , there aren't anything like as many cover versions of this song as there are of Cry. As far as I know, the first country act to cover the song was the original Carter family, back in the thirties. I'm very pleased that Lorrie chose this song to record, as it suits her so well.
Some people deride covers albums, but quite apart from the intrinsic pleasure they give me, they also sometimes lead me to buy music that I might not otherwise buy, because if I come across a song and don't know or can't remember the original artist, I find out. On this album, Lorrie chose to include Mel Street's first two (and biggest) hits, these being Borrowed angel and Lovin' on back streets, thereby reminding me that I really ought to buy some of his music. The most obscure track here, Alright I'll sign the papers, was a minor country hit for three different singers, these being Jeannie Seely (herself best remembered for Don't touch me), George Morgan (Lorrie's father) and Mel Tillis (who wrote the song). Another song that is rarely heard these days is Easy loving, which was originally a massive country hit for Freddie Hart. It won CMA song of the year for two years running, but while it is still a fine song, it hasn't exactly justified the awards. Other songs from the same era have proved to be more enduring.
The other songs are also excellent including (of course) a cover of a Tammy Wynette song. Lorrie clearly loves Tammy's music and this time chose to record Till I get it right. The production, notable for its simplicity and its absence of overdubs, contrasts sharply with much of what you'll hear elsewhere. If you enjoy covers albums by female country singers, you've been spoiled for choice in recent years, with Dolly Parton Those Were the Days, Martina McBride Timeless, Patty Loveless Sleepless Nights, Tanya Tucker My Turn, Kate Campbell Twang on a Wire and Rosanne Cash The List among those to have released such albums. If you enjoy some of those, Lorrie's album is another one to add to your collection.
