About

Alison Krauss is largely responsible for bringing Bluegrass music to wider audiences. Blending Bluegrass' rustic instrumentation with Folk-Pop songwriting sensibilities, Krauss succeeds in fusing tradition with innovation to create lush, textured songs that stick in your head like a commercial jingle (without any of the annoying Chinese-water-torture aspects that commercials induce). Her soft voice floats around her songs in the same way Joni Mitchell's does on Blue. Krauss' harmonies are caramel-coated with the assistance of the Cox Family singers, her loyal Union Station band, mandolin player Sam Bush, pianist Matt Rollings, and drummer Jim Keltner.
