Allison, most people know you for Soft Place, and I am no exception. But more than often I think that Pardon Me just might be my favorite. I *love* it, especially the steel, and the bass that comes in at "pardon me if I don't... (ba bump bump bump) ... understand."

Oh, and by the way, this post of yours just inspired me to buy a copy of Alabama Song on eBay. :-)

Fascinating read! I know it’s probably out of your control, but your catalog deserves to be on vinyl.

Still a favourite from my first CD of my collection of your albums, which I bought in the year of its release. Great to read your recollections of its production, not so long ago!

As classic a country song as any out there. Dare I say Tammy could not have done better with it. Really happy about this On The Record feature, AM. Looking forward to every single one!

"On the Record" is is exactly the kind of personal story-telling I love! It's always best to get the details right from the source. Often, I feel the stories in between the songs are as interesting as the songs themselves. To echo another on this site; all of your work deserves to be on vinyl.

It's insightful to read the back stories and see those old photos/videos. Your vocal style has changed a great deal over the years. I barely recognize the young woman with the red hair, but your evolution in music and life has been compelling.
