Alison Krauss |
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.Find Alison Krauss cds and Alison Krauss records on Rounder Records. |
