"Fine" is actually not good enough an adjective to use. Marvelous, likewise, is not good enough an adjective. Lovely, delightful, sublime, and spectacular, when combined with the previous two, begin to communicate the point.
"Down to Believing” is about the voice and is even more about the words sung by the voice. Judging from the liner notes, Allison Moorer is responsible for most of the words found on the record. John Fogerty wrote one of the songs and John has rarely been in such good company. These songs will move you if you possess a beating heart. Allison Moorer has endured in her life an episode that was most painful. I don’t know any of the details and won’t seek them out. For those of us who have had similar experiences, the precise facts don’t matter as much as the common factors shared by all who have been similarly situated. Allison Moorer has expressed thoughts and feelings on “Down to Believing” with which many people can identify.
“It comes down to believing whether we do or we don’t; guess it comes down to staying or leaving, whether we will or we won’t.” We have a choice which is not easy, but it is a choice.
“I’ve lived and I’ve learned, guess I’m pretty smart, but I still don’t know why you want to tear me apart.” This is the reason why the existence of the choice has come to mind and it’s a painful motivation.
“If I were stronger I’d hold on longer’ I’d be a savior and I’d stay; I’d love you better right through the anger. I’d hold on longer if I were stronger:” Well, maybe I’m partly to blame even though I KNOW that I am not.
“I finally changed the sheets, I’m tired of sleeping on the floor; if you want your old guitar it’s sitting out on the porch; I just want you to know that I’m doing fine.” I’m putting on a brave face but I dissemble.
“Got a true blue heart, but every now and then it might skip a beat, and it falls apart, shatters like a whiskey glass around my feet; pick it up one more time and I know I’m gonna get it wrong but it’s alright.” I messed up with you and I still don’t have it just right for me -- BUT I WILL!
This is a superb record. You owe it to yourself to get it. No better fine, marvelous, lovely, delightful, sublime, spectacular, and moving voice can be heard and you will be moved. It's early in the year and this is already one of the year's best.
