"Miracles" features guest Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) on piano, Blake Mills on guitar, and Jonathan Wilson adding bass and supporting vocals.

Morgan recently released A Moment In Time (Country Crossing Records), a collection of evergreen classics including "If You've Got Leavin' On Your Mind," a personal favorite of Lorrie's that she calls "the ultimate Country ballad."

The album captures Lorrie's crystalline vocals on timeless classics like "Are You Lonesome Tonight," and "Cry," all of which Morgan delivers with heartfelt and heartbreaking honesty. Lorrie was just 13 when she made her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry, singing with her dad, country star George Morgan. In 1984, she made history as the youngest member ever inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. She's charted with more than 30 charted Billboard singles, 14 top ten hits.
