The dark truth behind my songs
The traumatic deaths of both of Allison Moorer鈥檚 parents, in a murder-suicide, shaped her childhood but now inspire her country music.
Allison Moorer is an Oscar-nominated country music star. But shaping her lyrics and music are the traumatic deaths of both of her parents, in a murder-suicide, when she was just a teenager. Allison speaks to Emily Webb about why she's decided to tell the story decades later, and why sad songs are the best songs.
This interview was first broadcast in December 2019.
