After decades in country music cranking out hit after hit in sassy
and memorable songs like “Five Minutes,” “Except For Monday,” “What Part
Of No,” “Something In Red,” and “Watch Me,” Morgan remains a modern-day
pioneer, making country music history by remaining true to herself with
every piece of music she records.
“I didn’t want this to be just another album. I wanted it to be
something that really moved me. When I listened to songs for it, I’d
think, ‘No, not that one. I’m not going to be able to sing that one,
because I’m not going to be able to feel it.’ It was very important to
me for this album to reflect the things that I am feeling today,” she
said.
“Where I am in my life right now, I’m not afraid to express what I
feel, or what I don’t feel,” Morgan added about the emotive new project.
“I’m not afraid to express my views on anything, especially on being a
woman.”
Why did it take her five years? “I wanted the songs to be right – I couldn’t handle one more song about a truck (laughter),”
she told WSIG-FM in Harrisonburg, Va. “I got my head together and told
myself I was just going to record the songs that I wanted to, and now I
can confidently say – ‘here they are.’ I’m very proud of this project
and I’m even more excited to have something new to play out on the
road.”
Tune in this weekend at various times on Saturday Jan. 16 and Sunday,
Jan. 17 when Morgan joins country genre-favorite Tracy Lawrence in the
