Raised in rural Alabama, Shelby Lynne & Allison Moorer sang together from the time they could speak. Though their career paths have gone in separate directions, music has been the only language they needed to communicate and connect with each other. On Not Dark Yet the sisters wrap their soulful familial harmonies around an eclectic collection of song choices by writers ranging from the Louvin Brothers, Nick Cave, Kurt Cobain, to Jessie Colter. With 24 albums between them, as well as Grammy, Oscar, and numerous other nominations, this is the first time that Shelby Lynne & Allison Moorer have collaborated on an album. Not Dark Yet is an extraordinary debut of their transcendent musical bond.
