(5 Customer Reviews)
Although the subtitle suggests that A HUNDRED MILES OR MORE is just a standard greatest hits set, this anthology is actually something far more useful. The career-spanning 16-track set gathers nearly all of Alison Krauss's soundtrack appearances, guest shots on other folks' albums, tribute songs, and a handful of other rarities. By gathering all this material in one place, it's a hugely useful album for fans, but on its own musical merits, A HUNDRED MILES OR MORE contains some of Alison Krauss's best work. Highlights include "Down to the River to Pray," her haunting a cappella addition to the Grammy winning O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU soundtrack, and her version of Elvis Costello's "The Scarlet Tide" from the soundtrack to the Civil War romance COLD MOUNTAIN.

never fails to deliver the goods Alison Krauss has produced yet another feast of songs, a mixed bag of goodies which bring out the very best of her faultless vocals. I cannot wait to see her in the U.K. at Cardiff next year, even though we will have to share her with Robert Plant

Not her best This is an Okay CD but I was somewhat disappointed. Submitted by mjenkins6 (Brenham, TX 77833)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Pretty good!! Out of the 16 songs on this album I like 10 of them - I think "Jacob's Dream" is the best song on here and it sounds like something Bob Dylan would do in 1963! "Whiskey River", "Sawing On Strings", and "Down to the River" are my other favorites on here. I did find about 6 of the songs to be a bit bland, but that's just my opinion. I think serious Alison Krauss fans will love this! Submitted by Allen (Perryville, AR, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
