NEW FAVORITE won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album. "The Lucky One" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by A Duo Or Group With Vocal and for Best Country Song.

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.

Principally recorded at Seventeen Grand Studios, Nashville, Tennessee.

NEW FAVORITE finds Alison Krauss & Union Station continuing to solidify the bridge between the worlds of pop and bluegrass that they helped forge in the '90s. Krauss's crystalline vocals continue to induce goosebumps and bring to mind a young Dolly Parton on the delicate ballads "I'm Gone," "Crazy Faith," and "Momma Cried" along with more traditional-sounding fare like the high lonesome "Take Me For Longing." With its musical democracy still intact, Union Station also delights with new member Jerry Douglas' fleet-fingered instrumental workout "Choctaw Hayride" and a dark-hued interpretation of the traditional "The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn" delivered by Dan Tyminski's supple tenor. (Tyminski's vocals may strike a recognizable note as his voice replaced George Clooney's on "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow," a musical centerpiece on the O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? soundtrack).

Once again Krauss takes a non-traditional bluegrass approach towards picking material. Among the artists interpreted are legendary country-folk banjo player Dock Boggs ("Bright Sunny South"), '70s singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg ("Stars"), fellow New Traditionalists Gillian Welch and David Rawlings (the title track), and Rounder labelmate Robert Lee Castleman ("Let Me Touch You For Awhile," "The Lucky One").

Recorded at Seventeen Grand Recording, Nashville, Tennessee.

Alison Kraus & Union Station: Alison Krauss (vocals, fiddle, viola); Ron Block (vocals, guitar, banjo); Dan Tyminski (vocals, guitar, mandolin); Barry Bales (vocals, bass); Jerry Douglas (dobro).

Personnel: Alison Krauss (vocals, fiddle, viola); Ron Block (vocals, guitar, banjo); Dan Tyminski (vocals, guitar, mandolin); Barry Bales (acoustic & electric basses, background vocals); Larry Atamanuik (drums, percussion).Q (9/01, p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Pretty much the usual, if still wonderful, music from Krauss and Union Square..."
CMJ (8/27/01, p.28) - "...traditional folk that grows full and spooky..."
No Depression (9-10/01, p.138) - "...NEW FAVORITE delivers, which is plenty..."
Mojo (Publisher) (9/01, p.93) - "...The bluegrass scene is now officially in touch with its feminine side..."

5 stars AKUS strikes again!
The band that has made it hip to love bluegrass has a BIG hit on their hands with "New Favorite." "I'm Gone" and the title cut display Alison's talents best and the whole project flows effortlessly from start to finish. Bluegrassier that the previous "Forget About It" release expect less commercial success this time around but AKUS have done their fan core VERY proud with "New Favorite."

5 stars My favorite Allison Krauss CD
Something about the exceptional performances by Allison and her top notch band, the sheer crispness of the guitars played perfectly with her impeccable phrasing of her amazing voice that just entrances me. I'm a big fan of Krauss, have most of her CD's, not much of a fan of bluegrass but recognize how terrific Union Station is in that art form. I'm more of a fan of her singing, one of the best ever in any genre in my opinion. Nonetheless, on this CD the perfection of their collective art shines and I like it best. Can't point to a particular song (When You Say Nothing at All on the Now That I've Found You CD is my favorite Krauss song) and can't say there's any one tune as great here, but every song is compelling and the whole album satisfying start to finish, gotta hit replay now is what I feel every time. This is the CD by her that I just like to hear over and over. If you love her w/ Union Station, this won't disappoint, in top form here.

Alison Krauss So Long So Wrong CD  (1997)

New Favorite
CD $15.05  4.3 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Alison Krauss & Union Station: Alison Krauss (vocals, fiddle, viola); Dan Tyminski (vocals, guitar); Ron Block (vocals, guitar, National guitar, banjo); Barry Bales (vocals, electric & acoustic upright basses, arco bass); Adam Steffey (vocals, mandolin, mandola). SO LONG SO WRONG won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album. "Looking In The Eyes Of Love" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. "Little Liza Jane" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance. Twenty-five-year-old Alison Krauss has singlehandedly revived popular interest in bluegrass, and SO LONG SO WRONG finds her own popularity at a peak: It follows up her 1995 collection NOW THAT I'VE FOUND YOU, which sold an astonishing 2 million copies. SO LONG SO WRONG sticks to the combination of contemporary bluegrass ballads and traditional songs that has proved so successful for Krauss. The slower songs provide ample room for her to display her quietly haunting singing. On songs like "It Doesn't Matter," "Find My Way Back to My Heart" and "Happiness" (co-written by Krauss' brother Viktor), ...

Alison Krauss Forget About It CD  (1999)

New Favorite
CD $14.89  4.6 stars Audio Samples
FORGET ABOUT IT was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Country Album and for Best Engineered Album, Non Classical. "Forget About It" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. 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 ...

CD $15.65  4.8 stars Top 100
LIVE won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album. "Cluck Old Hen" won for Best Country Instrumental Performance. This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. Principally recorded live at The Louisville Palace, Louisville, Kentucky on April 29 & 30, 2002. A key contributor to the popular upswing of bluegrass, Alison Krauss & Union Station found their stewardship enlarged even more with the explosive success of the O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? soundtrack. Now furthering the cause is LIVE, a 2-CD set that allows this gaggle of talented musicians to stretch and impress over the course of 25 songs. Recorded over 2 nights at the Louisville Palace in Kentucky, this set list is an interesting mix of old favorites, traditional fare and some fun covers. Blessed with a shimmering voice that oftentimes is reminiscent of Dolly Parton's, Krauss' crystalline phrasing makes for goosebump inducing versions of songs like the delicate "Ghost In This House" and more rugged "Take Me For Longing." Union Station members also get plenty of ...
