Editorial Review:
Nobody makes somber sound more exquisite than Alison Krauss. She's come an awfully long way from her days as a teenage fiddle prodigy, as her glamour gown on this CD's cover suggests and the bittersweet maturity of the music confirms. Krauss exchanges her bluegrass fiddle for the chamber strains of viola on much of the material, including four songs by Robert Lee Castleman (whose "The Lucky One," "Let Me Touch You for Awhile," and "Forget About It" were previously popularized by Krauss). Castleman's compositions showcase the emotional intimacy and interpretive subtlety of her breathy trill. The yearning harmonies on "Wouldn't Be So Bad" (written by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings) and "Borderline" (written by Sidney and Suzanne Cox) reinforce the album's restless spirit of quiet desperation. Change-of-pace contributions by Krauss's bandmates are more deeply rooted in the bluegrass/folk tradition, with Dan Tyminski renewing Del McCoury's "Rain Please Go Away" and Woody Guthrie's populist anthem "Pastures of Plenty"; Dobro master Jerry Douglas leads the charge on his instrumental "Unionhouse Branch." Few bands in bluegrass can match the virtuosity of Union Station's interplay, but the artistry of Alison Krauss transcends genre. --Don McLeese

Rating:  - Lonely Runs Both Ways
This body of work is another example of the great talents of Alison Krause and Union Station. The harmonies are absolutely beautiful. The songs seem to range from old blue grass to contemporary. Their Picking is out of this world, and is well displayed in the song "Union House Branch". This C D is a good buy whether you are a long time follower Or a first time buyer of AKUS music.
Rating: - Country-Pop
I like this combination and I like her voice. No wonder she's a multiGrammie winner, her style will never get old. There's both sadness and joy in her repertoire. One of my favorite tunes (not on this album) is Whiskey Lullaby. She has a long career ahead and I'll continue to buy her albums.Forget About ItWashington Square Serenade [Ltd Ed CD/DVD Combo featuring 35 minute documentary and 3 acoustic performances]No Quarter: Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Unledded
Rating: - Outstanding
Alison has done it again, with this great album. She and her band have pleased us, the comsumer again.
Rating: - I LOVE this record!
I love this record, and I love the fact that Alison and the guys know where there talent lies. They never pretend to be something they're not. Any record of theirs is going to be your favorite. There is not a song on this record that I don't like. If you like this one, try their new one "A Hundred Miles or More". Same goes for that one. Very few singers in my experience are as good as Alison, so if you want to listen to music at it's purist, this is the record for you.
Rating: - The sheer delight of Alison Krauss and band
I keep referring to "that goddess" when I hear her come on the radio or one of her tracks comes on my computer. My colleagues are used to me gushing about her. I say, I first fell in love with this diva as I discovered her in "O Brother, where art thou" and then again in "Cold Mountain". I was terribly hooked and several albums later I am a devoted fan of her and her band. They cannot do wrong, each album is full of fun, superb artistry on several instruments, incredibly good harmonies. What ... Read More
