Pros: Excellent songwriting, production; instrumentation. Cons: Alison’s voice is sometimes too quiet.
Despite the fact that Alison Krauss hasnt the vocal range and talent of most in Country & Western/Blue Grass, she has managed to become the voice of the latter. Her voice is lithe, but with a charm and genuine cadence that is hard to resist; hence ...
Sometimes it amazes me how quickly time flies. It seems like yesterday the new millennium was on the horizon and so many people were worried about Y2K. And I was on the verge of discovering bluegrass star Alison Krauss on a chance purchase from BMG ...
Pros: smoky, lusty performance and arrangements Cons: it could have more than 11 cuts
I really like this cd. The first night that I heard it I was playing music with a couple of friends. When THERE’S A GHOST IN THIS HOUSE came around, all three of us (men) physically groaned with memories of pain of love (or lust ) for women, love that...
Pros: Vocals, Outstanding finishing songs, Great for thoroughly depressing you Cons: Not very exciting.
In August of 1999, I eagerly awaited the arrival of Alison Krauss: Forget About It. Too eagerly. The CD disappointed me after I had bought So Long, So Wrong, and Now That I Found You: A Collection. I'm not saying it is a bad CD; those who purchase it ...
Pros: Great songs, lovely singer Cons: Not the traditional bluegrass she usually sings
Alison Krauss' latest album is another in a long string of interesting albums by a very talented singer. Although I'm a big fan of singer-songwriters, Krauss knows her strength lies in her fiddle playing and her singing, and she spends her time...
Pros: Karuss' voice and Union Station's support equals the usual rewards Cons: A bit more of the up-temp stuff would have been nice
Often in the entertainment business, the best artists are not awarded for their efforts. Nowhere is this clearer than in the music world, where once again, big-selling Top 40 acts walked away winners at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 23rd, while the...
Pros: First and Last Songs are Old School Alison Cons: In the end, you'd be paying 17 bucks for two songs
My boyfriend got Alison Krauss' latest CD, Forget About It, as a Christmas gift, but I was the one who couldn't get the wrapper off fast enough and drop it into the stereo. The first song met my ears the same way all of Ms. Krauss' songs do - with the...
Pros: This CD is so beautiful. Cons: The CD gets repetitive sometimes, every song is slow. Sometimes the songs are way too slow, and they heave you into an instant daze.
While listening to this CD I really was enjoying myself. After five or so songs I became bored with it. It's slow nature just was just to much for me to handle. Even though I am a lover of slow country songs. I am going to recommend the album though,...
Pros: great songs, wonderful voice, real musicians Cons: she doesn't write the songs and a lot more sadness than happiness as a theme
Alison Krauss plays bluegrass, maybe to some people that automatically leaves a distaste in your mouth, but this ain't your great grandmammies bluegrass.
Krauss and her violin, along with all the pickers in the Union Station Band, are playing...
Pros: INTERESTING COLLECTION OF SONGS DELIVERED SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY FROM KRAUSS' PREVIOUS WORK Cons: OVERALL TONE OF THE MUSIC IS A BIT SOMBER
I SAW ALISON AND UNION STATION PERFORM THESE SONGS LIVE IN JANUARY 2000 IN CHATTANOOGA,TN. AFTER PLAYING ONE OF THEIR MORE UPBEAT SONGS, SHE MADE THE COMMENT THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT THE CROWD TO GET TOO, HAPPY, THERE WERE A LOT MORE DEPRESSING SONGS TO ...
Pros: Everything~ Alison never ceases to amaze me!Ü Cons: Nothing~ Everything is perfect
There is nothing I can say about Alison Krauss that has not already been said. This album is great! The best one yet in my opinion. I would have expected a more upbeat collection of songs, being her first album since her marriage and becoming a mother....
Pros: Pretty and pleasant, simple and sweet. Cons: A little pretty, pleasant, simple and sweet goes a looooooonnnngggg way.
Two friends recently recommended this artist and CD to me. The man said I would like the songs, the woman said I would like the voice. They were both pretty close to right.
This is my first introduction to Alison Krauss, and I can't decide...
