Mama's Hand stands as one of the essential documents of Lynn Morris's recording career and, by extension, of the contribution women vocalists have made to traditional bluegrass. Produced by Alison Brown and released on Rounder Records in 1995, the album features Morris's clear, emotionally intelligent singing on original and traditional material that positions her firmly within the classic bluegrass vocal tradition. The title track and 'It Rains Everywhere I Go' demonstrate Morris's gift for inhabiting a lyric with the kind of direct emotional conviction that the best bluegrass singing requires. Morris won IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year honors multiple times, recognition of her standing among the genre's most accomplished and influential singers.
