If it sounds country, then that's what it is, you know — its a country song. – Kris Kristofferson

Five Records With… Allison Moorer

Posted on | January 29, 2010 | 1 Comment

I had the chance to ask Allison Moorer a few questions about her favorite records. Her new record Crows comes out February 9th. I covered the first single, “The Broken Girl”, here. Five Records is an occasional feature of artists talking about the music that inspires them. Read more of these posts here.

Tammy Wynette

The Essential Tammy Wynette

“There are so many great records that have influenced me. Tammy Wynette’s Greatest Hits, but also Willie, Waylon, Jessie Colter and Tompall Glaser’s Outlaws and The Jayhawks’ Tomorrow The Green Grass.

Neil Young

Harvest

“Neil is just an all-around great artist — great songwriter, singer, player, and does the work to remain vital even after doing it for so long.”

Joao Gilberto

Getz/Gilberto

“I listened to this record a ton while I was making Crows.

The Beatles

Help!

There are many songs I wish I had written!  Can we start with the Beatles Help!? It has “Yesterday” on it.  I’d take that one…

Grizzly Bear

Veckatimest

“As far as new releases, I’ve been digging this.”
