"Allison Moorer has bridged the gap between today's classic high tech country music machines and old fashion bayou soul in her release of "Set you Free". Not since the earlier recordings of John Forgety Creedence Clearwater Revivial and Tony Joe White's recordings has someone captured that true bayou feel. Allison Moorer tells a story with vocal inflections that allow the lisener to not only hear the lyrics but feel them as well. The backing music provides the catalyst for her sultry redition of the song and story. This is a major leap for Allison into the mainstream music without going mainstream. Buy it and enjoy."
