Editorial Reviews

Some of the best records are all about a mood. The Duel displays a kind of
world-weariness bordering on despair, evidenced immediately by the languid
vocal delivery and the sparse, laid-back, but intense sound of the band. The
lyrics themselves may take a while to creep up on you. Moorer has never
quite fit the Nashville mold, and her songs here certainly don't follow the
Music Row formula. Instead they paint dark pictures of failed faith (the title
tune), alcoholism, ("One on the House"
, and death ("Sing Me to Sleep"
. R.
S. Field's perfect production owes more than a passing debt to Neil Young. If
you think this all sounds depressing you'd be wrong. As with all great country
music, exquisite execution, splendid sound, and depth of feeling combine to
create a cathartic, redemptive result. On some dark night of the soul, The
Duel just might save your life. --Michael Ross
