Allison Moorer — Blood (Oct. 25, 2019)
℘ Modlila se, aby Bůh chránil její matku před otcem. Její modlitby zůstaly nezodpovězeny.
℘ „Blood: A Memoir“ je podrobným popisem dětství Moorer a její sestry (držitelky ceny Grammy Shelby Lynne), která vyrostla v problémovém domě v jižní Alabamě, který skončil dobře zdokumentovanou sebevraždou jejích rodičů v roce 1986. Hodně toho, co veřejnost ví o tragické události, začíná a končí tam. Po celá léta se Moorer vyhýbala traumatickým detailům zneužívání, alkoholismu, zastrašování, chudoby a zanedbávání, které existovaly před smrtí, a to z dobrých důvodů, kterým se v memorandu věnuje. Moorer také řeší skutečnost, že v její rodině bylo mnohem víc, než jenom tragédie, temnota a to, co si lidé mysleli, že věděli. Byla tam láska, nechyběla pečující matka, existovalo tam pouto sesterstva a hudba. Vždycky tam byla hudba.
℘ Výňatek z Blood, novoulinké monografie Allison Moorer. Why do I carry what isn’t mine / Can I take the good and leave the rest behind / Can I let go and watch it all unwind / Can I untie the ties that bind. Album Blood je ekonomické, éterické, přesto pevně na zemi, nadějná ve své drsnosti a září temnotou. Poté, co strávila kariéru hledáním míst, kde by se schovávala od centra pozornosti, se objevila bez brnění, silnější a svobodnější než kdy jindy.

Allison Moorer Previews New Album and Memoir With Visceral Song ‘The Rock and the Hill’
℘ Moorer’s personal ‘Blood: A Memoir’ opens up about her childhood and the 1986 murder~suicide of her parents.
Review
By STEPHEN L. BETTS
℘ Allison Moorer will release her first new solo album since 2015’s Down to Believin’ this fall. Titled Blood, the LP, out October 25th, will be followed four days later by the release of Moorer’s memoir of the same name, published by Da Capo Press. Moorer’s most recent recording project was 2017’s Not Dark Yet, a collaboration with her older sister, Shelby Lynne.
℘ The first track issued from Blood is “The Rock and the Hill,” a visceral blues rocker that ties itself lyrically to the protective, deep~rooted character of Moorer’s and Lynne’s mother, who was murdered by their father before he took his own life in 1986. Just as Blood: A Memoir reveals details of Moorer’s troubled home life in southern Alabama, as well as the bond with her sister and the music that cut through their difficult circumstances, each track on the companion album shares a connection to the intensely personal stories Moorer relates in the book. Perhaps no cut on the record is more chilling than “I’m the One to Blame,” recorded with just Moorer’s raw vocal and acoustic guitar. The unfinished lyrics to the song were first discovered by Lynne in their father’s briefcase shortly after the deaths of their parents. Lynne later wrote the music for it.
℘ In 2017, Moorer, who married boyfriend Hayes Carll in May 2019, told Rolling Stone Country that before she turned her memoir manuscript over to the publisher, she had Carll read it. “[He] said to me, ‘It’s so enlightening for me to read this because I understand your relationship with your sister so much better.’ There are sibling bonds and there’s that. We’re bonded in more than that way. We share the same parents; we grew up in the same house. We also have a deep trauma bond. It’s almost like soldiers who were in the same company, who’ve been through a war.”
