09/04/2006 | It's okay, not my favorite, I don't mind hearing it but won't run out to buy it. It's one of those cd's where I'll buy a song or two from musicmatch, not worth buying the whole cd.

07/01/2002 | It took me a long, long time to warm up to Alison Krauss's voice, after years of listening to powerhouse voices like Tricia Yearwood, Martina McBride, and Natalie Maines. But to not appreciate Alison's delicate soprano is to completely miss the point. I'm so glad I gave her a chance because this CD is now one of my all-time favorites. I love the mixture of bluegrass with some of the more radio friendly country sounds. I can't wait to experience their sound live.

08/27/2001 | Fanstastic! This is the kind of bluegrass I could listen to for hours. Alison Krauss and Union Station are great. If you like the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack, this will sound good to you.

08/16/2001 |  Here is another bluegrass gem from Alison Krauss and Union Station, always consistently excellent. The cd combines the most traditional of bluegrass tunes, such as "The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn," with new pop-influenced, bluegrass-styled tunes ("The Lucky One," and "New Favorite," written by Gillian Welch). As in any of the cd's with Union Station, this is certainly a collaborative effort among all group members, not just Alison. Dan Tyminski, along with great guitar work, turns in some excellent lead vocals, sounding just like an old-time bluegrass troubador. Ron Block (banjo and guitar and also a great songwriter), Jerry Douglas (dobro and steel guitar), and Barry Bales (bass) are all important factors here too. Of course, Alison Krauss herself is a shining star with her crystalline, soothing voice and phenomenal fiddle. She's a charmer and a wonder. As usual, this latest release from Alison Krauss and Union Station is a down-home, introspective, charming, warm and graceful work. And I hope their participation in the popular "O Brother..." soundtrack turns even more folks on to this talented bunch of musicians. I can't wait for their next concert to hear some of these great new tunes.
