Incoming: Allison Moorer’s Crows

Cool video clip below. Exclusive interview coming to this very website next week, too.

Allison Moorer's upcoming Crows, arrives next week via Ryko. It's already racking up some great early ink: The Boston Globe calls this 13-track album, produced by R.S. Field (Buddy Guy, John Mayall),  "striking" and says "covering the likes of Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, and Nina Simone on last year's ‘Mockingbird' seems to have rubbed off on her." American Songwriter's four-star appraisal finds the album "coaxingly lovely in its ministrations," and "beautiful" simply describes her performance on a recent New York Times popcast.  And  MOJO magazine's March issue complements her vocal style as "bearing a grave grace and weight-honestly forceful, not showy."  

Watch BLURT next week as well for our own impressions - we've also got an exclusive interview with Moorer that will be posted in our features section.

Meanwhile, her momentum continues to build at radio. The album's first single, "Broken Girl," was the #1 most added at Americana radio during its debut week, and is now #9 on the chart. The song was also #3 most added at Triple A/Non- Commercial and is currently at #19. Check out her interview and performance on New York Times Popcast.
