"Four Leaf Clover" was Abra Moore's debut single and the first one pulled from her debut album, Strangest Places, which she began recording in October 1996 at Cedar Creek Recording in Austin, Texas. Moore wrote it and Mitch Watkins produced it. Before the album was even finished, Arista's Austin office sounded out radio stations about which songs had the most commercial pull, and the answers came back so strong that the record was moved up two months, to May 1997.
And the American folk-rock singer got her hit: the song went all the way to the top of the Billboard Triple-A chart, reached the top 40 in Canada and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Nancy Bardawil directed the video, which finds Moore singing outdoors and in a series of rooms.
