What The Critics Say
It would be unkind to point out that Lorrie Morgan looks a little the worse for wear on the cover of Show Me How -- if she didn't do a song on that very subject on the album ("Now my idea of letting it all hang out/Sure has changed with time/And that's hard on a bombshell"), and if she didn't have a perfect right. So it's doubly a pleasure to find that Morgan sounds, at an age that usually takes its toll on the tight throats of female country vocalists, better than ever. Check out the perfectly controlled descent into baritone territory in "I Can Count on You," one of four songs here in which songwriter Angela Kaset, the creator of Morgan's mega-hit "Something in Red," had a hand. In other ways, too, Show Me How feels like a reunion of the forces who created Morgan's long string of smart country-pop hits in the 1990s. Morgan rejoins with producer Richard Landis, who once again mixes classic keyboard-based sounds that put Morgan front and center with fun, funky electronic experiments. The songs he and Morgan select range from good to superb, with "Used" (Bekka Bramlett and James House) a particular standout; they showcase Morgan's sense of humor and play to her usual strengths in the genres of the breakup ballad and everywoman barroom encounter song. And it's especially good, in this era of Nashville smugness, to hear a song ("Rocks") that takes swipes at both racism and anti-gay bigotry. How much of a hearing Morgan will get for this independent-label release remains to be seen, but her longtime fans will be well satisfied, and so will anyone else who happens upon it or seeks it out. ~ James M.

What The Critics Say
Lorrie Morgan's Country Legends is a good 16-track collection that contains most of Morgan's hits -- all of those that most listeners want -- along with a handful of album tracks, all taken from her recordings for RCA. It's a good, solid collection, the best yet assembled on Morgan, and is an expert introduction. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Real life lovers singing duets together in country music is nothing new, but this 12-track collection does offer something fresh -- a wide-ranging group of songs from traditional country to a bit of mellow rock to tender ballads. Lorrie Morgan's voice is raspy and pleasant and ammy Kershaw's is distinctively country, and when they come together for their six duets, they sound smooth and melodious. The more notable duets are up-tempo songs and not the standard romantic fare -- "He Drinks Tequila" describes what a trailer park queen and her hard-working husband do on weekends, and "3 Seconds" is how long you have to explain your wrongdoing in a relationship -- are playful and fun. Both artists have three solos each, including a song Morgan wrote in just five minutes when she was only 18, the insightful "I Must Be Gettin' Older," and a song with a rock edge that Kershaw wrote in 15 minutes, titled "Sugar." I Finally Found Someone is a half-decent album, especially for a first-time full-length pairing. ~ Maria Dinoia, All Music Guide

What The Critics Say
My Heart, a 1999 album recorded by Lorrie Morgan, earned a Grammy award nomination, but not as much attention as expected. It would have probably done a lot better with more backing from Morgan's label at the time and the release of a few more singles from its track list. Though not well celebrated, it is still a good album filled with all new material. Morgan had some special help on this offering, including the vocal talents of gifted singer Jo Dee Messina on the tune "The Things That We Do." There is also a duet, "Maybe Not Tonight," with popular country singer Sammy Kershaw. This album is filled mostly with ballads, such as "I Did," "Where Does That Leave Me," "Strong Enough to Cry," and "Between Midnight and Tomorrow." There are a few songs added in to pick up the pace and invite a little toe-tapping, like the title track and "The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You." ~ Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
This 1998 Lorrie Morgan offering, Secret Love, is dedicated to her late father. The songs you'll find on this album aren't the normal country fare fans might expect from Morgan. That doesn't mean it's not worth a listen, or maybe a number of them. As always, her voice and emotional delivery are up to the test, even for old ballads and standards. It helps that she had the backing of some top instrumental artists, along with the Nashville String Machine. Secret Love was a career risk for Lorrie Morgan. It meant moving out of the comfort zone that country fans held her in and taking a step away from all of the success she had in one genre to try a new one. It seems she gambled and won. This album is filled with classic romantic numbers, many from the '50s and earlier, including such songs as "Fly Me to the Moon," "Good Morning Heartache," "Once Upon a Time," "I've Got the World on a String," and "My Foolish Heart." Secret Love makes a great accompaniment to candlelight and dinner for two. ~ Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide
