Raising Sand»rank: 10par: Robert Plant, Alison Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Perhaps only the fantasy duo of King Kong and Bambi could be a more bizarre pairing than Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Yet on Raising Sand, their haunting and brilliant collaboration, the Led Zeppelin screamer and Nashville's most hypnotic song whisperer seem made for each other. This, however, is not the howling Plant of 'Whole Lotta Love,' but a far more precise and softer singer than even the one who emerged with Dreamland (2002). No ... |

A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection»rank: 2318par: Alison Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From : A Hundred Miles or More carries the subtitle A Collection, and what a curious collection it is--cuts from soundtracks, side projects, and tribute albums, plus guest duets on other artists' albums and five previously unreleased tracks. ln other words, this is a collection of Alison Krauss performances that have never appeared on an Alison Krauss album, though it holds together better than such a grab-bag approach might suggest. Highlights such as her duet with ... |

Live»rank: 1637par: Alison Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This two-CD, 25-song set, recorded in Louisville on two nights in the spring of 2002, finds bluegrass's most celebrated crossover band at the top of its game. Krauss's warm, feathery vocals, capable of conveying complex emotions in a single note, appear more full-bodied than in studio recordings, yet lose none of their sensual appeal or dramatic tension. She's perfect, for example, as the melancholy temptress on 'Let Me Touch You for Awhile,' coming across as ... |

Now That Ive Found You A Coll»rank: 1477par: Alison Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk: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 l've Found You', a carousing late 1960s pop chant transformed into a delicate, vulnerable declaration of love. ... |

New Favorite»rank: 9716par: Alison Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:New Favorite is the first album released by Alison Krauss and Union Station since their role in the megahit soundtrack to 0 Brother, Where Art Thou?--an album that's done more to advance the cause of bluegrass since Bill Monroe first conjured the music out of the hills of western Kentucky. While their previous full album, Forget About lt, showcased the more contemporary part of Krauss's musical equation and the 0 Brother soundtrack spotlighted the more ... |

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow»rank: 13210par: Alison Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From :ln addition to being a contest-winning fiddler and an angelic singer, Alison Krauss is also a terrific talent scout. She has assembled a personal stable of the finest songwriters in contemporary bluegrass--John Pennell, Nelson Mandrell, Ron Block, Sidney Cox and Mark Simos--and she has singlehandedly brought Louisiana's wonderful bluegrass/gospel group, the Cox Family, to national prominence. Last year Krauss produced the Cox Family's debut CD, 'Everybody's Reaching 0ut for Someone,' and this year she has ... |

Every Time You Say Goodbye»rank: 14157par: Alison Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:0ver the course of her first albums, including her fourth, 1992's Every Time You Say Goodbye, Alison Krauss probably did more than any of her contemporaries to attract mainstream-country attention to bluegrass. A traditionalist might say this is because Krauss and her band, Union Station, offer a kind of 'bluegrass-lite' that's cut with pop sensibility, without any manic-fast picking and awash in Krauss's goes-down-easy vocal. Nonetheless, this is a solid album that pushed Krauss deservedly ... |

Two Highways»rank: 24145par: Alison Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Alison Krauss's second Rounder effort builds on the promise of her debut, further honing her blend of traditional and contemporary, an artistic tactic that would have a huge impact on bluegrass and bluegrass audiences throughout the 1990s. Still only 17 when she waxed this one, Krauss handles old-time rags, gospel favorites, and modern country with equal flair and almost-annoying perfection. This was 1989 and her widespread critical acclaim had not yet translated into commercial acceptance, ... |

So Long So Wrong»rank: 2869par: Alison & Union Station Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Many bluegrass musicians have incorporated contemporary elements into their work, Jim & Jesse, the 0sborne Brothers, and Mac Wiseman among them., but Krauss's contemporary bluegrass contains particularly heavy doses of pop, folk, and modern country. Whatever style she chooses, her flawless voice and her crack Union Station cohorts usually maintain a high standard. The instrumental 'Little Liza Jane' and the traditional 'l'll Remember You, Love, ln My Prayers' prove their instrumental chops, and songs like ... |

Forget About It»rank: 17081par: Alison Krauss
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:When you possess a great pop voice, it's inevitable that you'll someday make a pop album, and Alison Krauss has finally made hers. lnstead of bidding for radio airplay with the extravagant, extroverted pop of Shania Twain, Trisha Yearwood, or Celine Dion, Krauss has crafted an intimate, understated chamber-pop album reminiscent of Joni Mitchell's Blue or Rosanne Cash's lnteriors. The material comes from such mainstream-pop writers as Michael McDonald, Todd Rundgren, Allen Reynolds, and Danny ... |
