'''''Getting Somewhere''''' is the fifth studio album by singer/songwriter [Allison Moorer](/source/Allison_Moorer). The album was produced by Moorer's new husband and fellow singer/songwriter [Steve Earle](/source/Steve_Earle) and recorded in Nashville. Written on the road while touring with Earle, it saw her embrace a more pop sound and became her first album where the majority of songs were written solely by Moorer. She told [PopMatters](/source/PopMatters) in 2004: "Some of the records I’ve made have had a lot of cooks, for lack of a better word. This one basically was just me and Steve, and I had written all the songs while he was around. We were on the road together, and so he had a ringside seat for the whole writing of it. So when we went in to make the record in December, it was kind of just a given what we were going to do."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.popmatters.com/feature/moorer-allison-060609/|title = Finally Getting Somewhere: An Interview with Allison Moorer, PopMatters|date = 9 June 2006}}</ref>
