Alison Krauss + Union Station Live

Advantages: Seriously talented Bluegrass performers
Disadvantages: A few weak tracks

I bought this CD after catching the second hallf of this concert when it was shown on BBC4. I'd never bought, or considered listening to Bluegrass before but was so taken by it that I ordered this double CD the next morning off Amazon. It turns out that Alison Krauss is pretty well known in the States and gained immediate recognition for her talent with her first album "I've got that old feeling" (1990), when she was just a teenager. I'd never heard ...
...and hauntingly clear voice. In fact all my favourite tracks on this double CD are the ones that she sings. She also plays the fiddle rather well and she's nice looking - Wow, so much talent in one human being! Her band, Union Station, are all seriously talented musicians with Dan Tyminski on guitar, mandolin and vocals, Ron Block on guitar banjo and vocals, Jerry douglas on dobro, Barry Bales on bass and Larry Atamanuik on drums.

Review of Live - Alison Krauss

I Give This Album To You...

Advantages: Some great songs, great voice
Disadvantages: Read the review

...I came to purchase ‘A Hundred Miles Or More’. Before I continue, I’d just like to say that whilst I have heard some of Alison’s other material, this is the first actual album of hers I’ve owned and so I can’t really comment with regard to how it compares to her others. Instead, I’ll try and rate ‘…Miles Or More’ based on it’s own merits. ~~~ A Hundred Miles Or More ~~~ To give it it’s full title, ‘A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection’ was released ...
...definitely borderline samey. ‘A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection’ is perhaps not the best introduction to Alison Krauss. That said, I think there’s plenty songs on the album that most people would be able to enjoy, (assuming you’re not devoted to one particular genre of music). Don’t be put off by Alison being a country/bluesgrass artist, since it is nothing more than a label that doesn’t really do justice to the actual quality of the music. ...
