Mockingbird

A warm, unvarnished collection of covers honoring female songwriters. Buddy Miller's organic production lets Moorer's resonant alto breathe in a quiet, wooden room.

February 19, 2008 · New Line Records

A quiet, resilient vulnerability that finds strength in the songs of others.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transformation of Patti Smith's 'Dancing Barefoot' into a slow-burning, earthy Americana prayer.

The stark, skeletal arrangement of 'Both Sides Now' that highlights the weight of every syllable.

The way her voice breaks with weary grace during the final notes of 'Orphan Train'.
