I recently caught up with the singer to chat about the making of exciting new record. We also discussed a few of other things including being a role model, marriage and the importance music education in schools. She's such a pleasure to interview, always humble and sincere.

"Amanda Leigh" (which is Moore's given name) was recorded at engineer Ducky Carlisle's basement studio in his home outside of Boston and features a collection of vintage equipment utilized throughout the album.

The resulting collaboration between Carlisle and Moore is a collection of personal reflections and insights about life and love as evidenced in songs such as "Nothing Everything," "Song About Home," and "Love to Love Me Back" - the latter also written with Inara George of The Bird and the Bee.

The two also dared to experiment during the recording process, as exemplified in the rather tongue-in-cheek, "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week" - originally a very alt-country sounding demo that quickly took on a new life with the addition of the clavinet, while "Everblue," co-written with Lori McKenna, simarily transformed with the inclusion of the Farfisa and Wurlitzer.
