This is a Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Alison Krauss is a genuine rarity: a bluegrass singer and fiddle player who achieved popularity without altering or commercializing her sound. On FORGET ABOUT IT, she again fuses bluegrass, country, and pop influences, covering unlikely tunes and making them sound fresh and new. Though there are very few true bluegrass tunes in this set, the bluegrass sound is here in full force.
The close harmonies, Krauss' high, lonesome soprano, and the traditional-sounding dobro and fiddle are all at the heart of the sound here. The songs are mostly slow, subdued expressions of romantic melancholy and heartbreak. The musicianship is, as usual, both immaculate and inspired. Dolly Parton and Lyle Lovett show up to give harmony to the lovely closing track, "Dreaming My Dreams With You." FORGET ABOUT IT also contain some of Krauss' most memorable singing. A beautiful piece of work.

Rolling Stone (8/19/99, p.115) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...lovely in a rueful, melancholy way, hanging together as a meditation on an aftermath that calls to mind Neil Young's masterly COMES A TIME..." Spin (10/99, p.155) - 7 out of 10 - "...Krauss' voice is a natural marvel, just about the prettiest sound that ever did grace a country album, and she can rescue nearly any lyrical banality by milking it for the high lonesome heartbreak it's concealing..." Entertainment Weekly (8/6/99, p.65) - "...the sweetest voice in country music....Here she delivers a set of pop weepers leavened with string-band twang....austere arrangements and those marvelous pipes redeem all." - Rating: B+ Q (9/99, p.108) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...acoustic-based, accessible and probably timeless, filled with such soft delights....Exquisite." Down Beat (7/00, p.76) - 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...Shows more of her love for the pop side of things...this is a player's record....The moods are generally blue, but the playing and the artistry is joyful, supporting Krauss' laments with aplomb." Dirty Linen (2-3/00, p.86) - "...Krauss delivers several heart-rending performances....for anyone with a hankering for lush, moving ballads, this is good news." Mojo (Publisher) (9/99, p.96) - "...soar away beyond the custom and practice of genre, away above the muso pride and egotism of the master technicians involved....Krauss goes for complication, but gloriously so, with edgy vocal or violin harmonies which might be called high lonesome..."

A voice that touches If you’re normally not a fan of country, like I myself, don’t make the mistake off passing on this CD. If you’re sensitive for singers that have a voice like from heaven, and you’ll sometimes like to listen to music in a quiet dark room, or even better with your eyes closed, try this one. Alison sings like an angel, she touches my heart whenever I hear her.
She’s not in the shop’s in my country; thank you CD Universe for the sound samples on the internet; that’s the way I found her!!!

Very good, but not bluegrass This is a nice mellow album, very relaxing, good during the dinner hour. However, be advised that this is not bluegrass. I miss Adam Steffey on mandolin, and Ron Block is strictly guitar on this one - no banjo. Hoping for a return to bluegrass on the next release.

$16.45 Document Chicago #5Recorded October 6, 2003 live at 3030 in Chicago. After nearly four years of developing their voice as an improvising collective, Rempis (Triage, Vandermark Five, Thread Quintet, Territory Band) and his quartet make their recorded debut with this live set.Following two years of regular work as a drummerless trio that explored quieter dynamics and the harmonic possibilties of their instruments, the group added drummer Tim Daisy and pianist Jim Baker's synthesizer to the mix in 2002 to create a louder, more sound-oriented approach to creating longform free improvisations.*NU Jazz Fest Creates Pervasive Thunder Chicago TribuneHoward Recih It doesn't get the publicity or prominence of its downtown counterparts, but the one-night jazz festival that erupted Thursday evening on the campus of Northwestern University, in Evanston, proved revelatory. For here -- during the course of a single, marathon performance -- some of the best jazz improvisers on the planet (most based in Chicago) unleashed oft-thunderous, intellectually vigorous musical statements. Though all the artists who converged at Northwestern's McCormick Auditorium for the third annual Chicago Sounds Jazz Fest have dedicated their lives to transcending conventional approaches to jazz improvisation, each addressed this challenge in unabashedly ...
