Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
A poll-winning fiddler since her teens, Alison Krauss was an established bluegrass star when her label persuaded her to step out from her usual projects with Union Station, her crack band, and sanction this compilation of various band and solo guest performances. The ploy worked, yielding a wonderful, odds-beating crossover hit with Krauss's cover of "Baby, Now That I've Found You," a carousing late-'60s pop chant transformed into a delicate, vulnerable declaration of love. Focusing on Krauss's lovely, yearning soprano, the track elevated the musician above her resolutely democratic role in her quintet, catapulting Krauss to the biggest bluegrass success story in over 30 years. Krauss has stayed true to her bluegrass roots, as well as to Union Station, but this cross-section of contemporary bluegrass songs, joyous gospel, and canny rock covers testifies to the young artist's luminous appeal. --Sam Sutherland

I purchased this CD to acquire a certain song that had captured my attention; the remaining tracks turned out to be an unexpected bonus.

Allison Krauss sets my heart singing with this collection of songs.
"Now that I've found you" is awesome. I love it because it is my theme song with my husband!

Alison's perfect and soft voice is exceptional! My favorite song on this album is "When You Say Nothing at All" so there was no hesitation in chosing this song for our wedding. As I walked down the aisle to start our beautiful poolside country wedding, Alison's perfect voice (in surroundsound) floated across the wedding guests, into lush green pasture and seemed to impact even the horses (or maybe the horses were just looking for their dinner). When I reached the rose-adorned wedding arch, I turned to see just about everyone with tears running down their cheeks - Alison's performance of this song really brought out the emotion in everyone. Even the big ol' cowboys were doing their best to choke back their emotions. Followed the perfect ceremony with a husband/wife dance to Sara Evan's song, "I Could Not Ask for More." Kudos to Alison!!

Like most products that I order here, it arrived earlier than promised, EVEN w/the free shipping option.
I could not find this CD anywhere and as the one song was performed at my son's wedding, he wanted to get it for his new wife!
Again, Amazon came through.

Alison Krauss is one of my favorite bluegrass singers, and arguably one of my favorite singes period. She shows with this album that she has range, as a wide variety of song types has made its way onto this CD.
1. Baby, Now That I've Found You: This has a pop sound of the 80's and still holds true to her bluegrass roots. It reminds me of other pop songs of the time.
2. Oh, Atlanta: By far my favorite track on this CD. The quick bluesy, jazz sound is unique. I have not heard very many songs with a sound like this one.
3. Broadway: A slower, more traditional country sounding song. Not bad, but not a standout.
4. Every Time You Say Goodbye: A true bluegrass sound, this song really stays true to her roots. It has everything I like about bluegrass.
5. Tonight I'll Be Lonely Too: A very traditional country sound, reminiscent of the singers of Hank Sr.s' day.
6. Teardrops Will Kiss the Morning: Another oldie country sound. The lyrics really don't do much for me, but Krausses voice helps carry this song for me.
7. Sleep On: This has the sound of what country will become, with some of the sound of the day mixed in. I find it hard to dislike any song in which Krauss harmonizes.
8. When God Dips His Pen of Love In My Heart: Straight out of the gospel roots of bluegrass, it has the old-time church sound. That is something I normally love, but this song doesn't really work ... Read More
