The Hardest Part is the second album by singer/songwriter Allison Moorer. The album is a concept album about a doomed relationship produced and co-written by Moorer's then husband Doyle Lee Primm.[3] The album is based on her parents' relationship which ended in the mid-1980s when Moorer's father murdered her mother before killing himself.[4] She told No Depression magazine in 2000: "This record was inspired by the things I saw my mother go through. It’s not the true story, but it’s inspired by the true story."[5]
