Show is a live album by Allison Moorer, released June 24, 2003. The album peaked at No. 49 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in July 2003.[2] According to Vogue, this album features the first recorded collaboration between Moorer and her sister, Shelby Lynne.[3]

Critical reception

Thom Jurek of AllMusic begins his review with, "On Show, singer/songwriter Allison Moorer follows up her stellar Miss Fortune album with a live collection recorded at Music City's famed 12th & Porter. Playing songs drawn from her three previous studio outings, she also includes a tough and trashy version of Neil Young's barroom classic "Don't Cry No Tears."" and concludes with "In sum, this is how live records should be made."[1]

No Depression reviews the album and writes, "Culled from two sets at Nashville’s 12th & Porter nightclub on January 4 of this year (2003), the disc presents Moorer in a mostly unfettered setting that lets her musical starlight shine. The backing is somewhat slick but mainly just exquisite, and producer R.S. Field coaxes a studio-worthy sound out of a live setup."[4]
