Paving the way for the much-anticipated reissue of country legend Lorrie Morgan's 2009 covers album A Moment In Time, one of the collection's best-loved tracks, "After The Fire Is Gone," is reborn as a single, and what a release it is!

 

A duet with multi-platinum honky tonk heart-throb Tracy Lawrence, it is the latest - and possibly one of the greatest - in the long line of star-studded duets to have established this song among the country world's most beloved compositions.

 

Composed by L.E. White, "After The Fire Is Gone" was originally a hit for Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty back in 1970. Tammy Wynette and George Jones followed in 1973. Other immortal pairings to share the heat include Willie and Tracy Nelson, Steve Earle and Allison Moorer and TG Shepherd and Kelly Lang, and Morgan's liner notes admit that recording with Lawrence was a wish come true.

 

"It was a pleasure," she says, to sing with the "Sticks and Stones" chart-topper. "It has been a dream of mine since I first heard [him] sing."
