Alison Krauss has 21 Grammys to her name, (fact check here) making her the female with the most Grammy wins ever and tied in seventh for all-around wins. (Madonna and Mariah be pissed!)Her last solo album A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection was released in 2007, and despite peaking at Number 3 on the U.S. Top Country Albums Chart, the album was overshadowed by Krauss' collaboration with Le...

A long while back, I was listening to Alison Krauss' "Now That I've Found You: A Collection" when John, Paul, George and Ringo popped up. I've heard many versions of this tune, but this one is as interesting as Eva Cassidy's version of "Imagine." (By the way, I've never been much of a Beatles fan.)

Tonight we finally saw Alison Krauss in concert. I say "finally" because I've been talking about seeing her for years without actually getting to a show, so it's good to get it out of the way at last.Krauss has had an impressive career ... a fiddle-playing prodigy, she appeared on records when she was 14, and cut her first solo album when she was 16. She has won more Grammy awards than any othe...

I had heard this song sung by other artists before, but Allison Krauss brings it alive. She sings it from her heart and believes every word. This says so perfectly how I feel about the two people I love most in this world. We never have to say a word for us to know that we love each other.

These are some of my fondest high...

So today is the day for A. Some choices that were considered, but did not ultimately make the cut for me to talk about were Ani Difranco, All Girl Summer Fun Band, and ABBA. So the winner of today's spotlight is none other than Alison Krauss [http://www.alisonkrauss.com/]. The leading lady of the Union Station Band, Alison Krauss' clear vocals have a great range and she has been featured in man...

It strikes me that one need not be religious to feel the spiritual power of music. As I sit here at my kitchen table on a Saturday morning drinking my Costco brand coffee, yurning for meaning in my life. Low and behold, Alison Krauss comes into my auditory senses with a classic vocal tune 'Down to the River to Play'. All at once, I find myself being pulled into a sense of calm....the cares of ...

In the wake of a very kind Grammy season and an unsurprising chart resurgence for their album, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have gone back to the studio presumably working on a follow up to Raising Sand. This is good news to fans of the duo but unfortunately crushes any possibility of a Led Zeppelin reunion.
