Morgan is a "Dead Girl Walking"

Wednesday, May 8, 2024 – Lorrie Morgan is back - delivering her first new studio effort in seven years - with the CD "Dead Girl Walking" (Cleopatra Records) out June 289.

The title track was released as well as a single.

"This album is very special to me," said Morgan. "Sadly, it turned out to be the final producing credit by my longtime friend and collaborator, Richard Landis, who passed just before its completion. 'Dead Girl Walking' ties together a career journey from the top 10 album, 'War Paint,' that Richard produced to this new album. Richard also co-wrote the Billboard-charting single 'If You Come Back From Heaven.'"

"Also in 1994, Landis was one of 14 producers to receive a CMA Album of the Year award for 'Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles,' and produced me on the last track on the album, my cover of "The Sad Cafe." Richard's brilliant, creative touch is all over this new album, and I'm eager to share every song. I miss my friend and honor him with this collection."

"Where I am in my life right now, I'm not afraid to express what I feel," Morgan said. "I'm not afraid to express my views on anything, especially on being a woman and my experiences in this business and in life."

"I didn't want to just do another album. I want it to be something that really moves me. When I listened to songs for the project, 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 is very important to me that this album reflects the truths that I am feeling today."

The track list is:
1. "Hands On You" (Ashley Monroe, Jon Randall)
2. "Dead Girl Walking" (Kelly Lang)
3. "Me And Tequila" (Ashlee Hewitt, Matthew Morgan)
4. "I Think It's Jesus" (Kelly Lang)
5. "Mirror, Mirror" (Kelly Lang, Lorrie Morgan, Mark Oliverius)
6. "Days Like These" (Kris Bradley, Marty Morgan)
7. "What Will I Do?" (Mickey Newbury)
8. "I Think You're The Greatest" (Marty Morgan, Johnny Garcia, Katrina Burgoyne)
"I Almost Called Him Baby By Mistake" (Larry Gatlin)
10. "You Send Me" (Sam Cooke)

CD reviews for Lorrie Morgan

CD review - Letting Go...Slow During her lengthy career Loretta Lynn Morgan has had a lot of hits, though lately she has been in the news more for cutting cake (married six times at press time) than for cutting records. "Letting Go . . . Slow" is her first solo album since 2010's pop-oriented "I Walk Alone" (about which the less said the better), and she seems to be trying to make a country comeback, going mostly with covers on this record. Speaking of covers, for some reason Morgan has gone with a ...
Lorrie Morgan's career may have enjoyed a higher profile, but that shouldn't be because of albums like this. The sexy blonde generally hits the mark. What sets Morgan apart and always has is her singing ability. She got strong pipes time and again and uses them to good effect throughout. That's particularly true on the uptempo numbers such as the lead off "Do You Still Wanna Buy Me That Drink (Frank)" where she plays a strong twice-divorced woman with two teens to raise and meets a man in a bar. ...
Lorrie Morgan always has benefitted from a strong voice that could be alternately vulnerable or upbeat with the requisite emotion plus a slew of good songs to help her voice put them over. But on this 19-song live set, featuring mainly a bunch of her hits and some generally well chosen hits, both Morgan and band sound remarkably inert. This is quite a surprise because in concert, Morgan possesses a lot of vocal energy and dynamism. In fact, there isn't a whole lot of difference between what is ...
