The daughter of country music royalty, Lorrie Morgan has certainly had a long and vibrant career. While her alto voice was perfect for many of the hits she had in the 1990s, never has she sounded better than she does on A Moment In Time, a collection of her favorite songs from years gone by. And while there have been a plethora of these kinds of releases over the past few years, very few have sparkled the way that "A Moment in Time" does...

With Reba McEntire coming on perkier than Donna Fargo and various young pretenders folkies in disguise, the pseudostrings of this Tammy Wynette-styled throwback are traditional enough to suit me. She'll stand by her man, but not as his love slave, and if "Out of Your Shoes" would betray a sisterly premise for a roll in the hay, the unprecedented "He Talks to Me," which climaxes with afterwords, is compensation.

In her six-year career, Lorrie Morgan has shuttled from heavily orchestrated Nashville balladry to memorable tough-girl retorts. This Greatest Hits set omits such hits as "Trainwreck of Emotion" but offers three new tunes, including the irresistible R & B-ish "Back in Your Arms Again."

On this lushly orchestrateddeparture from her country-pop milieu, Lorrie Morgan tackles the kindof standards, show tunes, and movie themes she came toappreciate through her smooth-voiced crooner father, the lateGeorge Morgan.

Lorrie Morgan's second greatest hits set, To Get to You, reprises her classic signature, "Something in Red," and adds to her more recent fare with five new offerings, including a fine remake of Tammy Wynette's "Another Lonely Song" and an affecting live cover of Sarah McLachlan's "Angel." The only thing missing is "What Part of No," the bitchiest kiss-off in country music.

Though the hunk trend in country music is in full swing, threewomen with new albums have still managed to scale the charts. LorrieMorgan has amended her ready-and-willing "Victoria's Secret" look toa more innocent pixie image, but her fourth album, Watch Me,preserves both her no-nonsense persona ("What Part of No") and herdramatic flair for woman-to-woman ballads about heartache ("Someoneto Call Me Darling")...
