JMT Music Entertainment presents Lorrie Morgan w/Opening Act Jesse Keith Whitley*
Songstress Lorrie Morgan has sold over 8 million records including 14 top ten hits, 12 recorded albums and 4 Female Vocalist of the Year awards. She made her mark with what have now become timeless country standards, "Five Minutes", "Except For Monday", "Something In Red", "Watch Me" and "What Part of No", to establish her place as a country star-a madern woman making country music history.
One of the most eloquently emotive country vocalists of modern times is launching her first new solo album in five years.
Lorrie Morgan, the first woman in her genre to begin her career with three consecutive Platinum albums, re-emerges on Shanachie Entertainment with Letting Go….Slow. It is a collection that showcases a rainbow of emotions, from darkest heartache to bright, shiny humor. “Where I am in my life right now, I’m not afraid to express what I feel, or what I don’t feel,” she comments about the collection’s varied moods. “I’m not afraid to express my views on anything, especially on being a woman.
“I have been a daughter, a bride, a mother, a divorcee, a widow, a single mother, a breadwinner and, ultimately, a survivor. In many ways, I am a living, breathing country song, and I know what I sing.
“I didn’t want this to be just another album. I wanted it to be something that really moved me. When I listened to songs for it, I’d think, ‘No, not that one. I’m not going to be able to sing that one, because I’m not going to be able to feel it.’ It was very important to me for this album to reflect the things that I am feeling today.”
