Those who know Lorrie Morgan know of her affection for classic songs.  Those who don’t are about to find out.  A Moment In Time, Morgan’s debut for Country Crossing Records, will be released on October 27, 2009.  The album finds Morgan putting her own tender touch on some comfortable classics.  

Morgan, who made her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry at age 13 performing Anita Bryant’s “Paper Roses” and who later covered the Beach Boys’ “Don’t Worry Baby” with the band’s blessing, makes herself at home with classics like “Are You Lonesome Tonight?,” “Misty Blue” and Merle Haggard’s “I’m Always On A Mountain When I Fall.”  She moves easily from honky tonk classics such as “Wine Me Up” and “Lovin’ On Backstreets,” to the turn-back-time string laden-production of Johnny Ray’s 1951 hit, “Cry.”

Produced by Wally Wilson (Joan Baez, Lonestar), the set also features Morgan duets with traditionalist Tracy Lawrence (on the Conway and Loretta classic “After The Fire Is Gone”) and crooner Raul Malo (on Freddie Hart’s “Easy Lovin’”). “Break It To Me Gently,” a hit for Brenda Lee and later for Juice Newton, and “I’ll Sign The Papers,” which was recorded by Mel Tillis, Ray Price as well as Morgan’s father, George Morgan, are among the other songs that find new life through Morgan’s loving care.

Morgan’s take on these outstanding classics will make A Moment In Time an instant classic.  Buy the album now wherever great music is sold, including online retailers iTunes (http://bit.ly/8DM3G5) and Amazon (http://bit.ly/7jhuZt).
