Recorded in April, 2002 in Louisville, Kentucky, Alison Krauss +
Union Station Live is, surprisingly, the sweet-voiced fiddler's
first live album. Unsurprisingly, it's also a marvellous showcase of
radio-friendly, popular contemporary bluegrass: Krauss' dreamy voice,
the most gorgeous in all... |

Epic (Audio CD) - September 21, 1998 |

The major-label debut from this Texas trio proves their instrumental
abilities, blending more traditional twang with slow melodic blues,
foot-tapping rockabilly, and bluegrass-inspired pop harmonies. From the
opener, "I Can Love You Better", the Chicks let their love of music and
genuine joy shine... |

A poll-winning fiddler since her teens, Alison Krauss was an established
bluegrass star when her label persuaded her to step out from her usual
projects with Union Station, her crack band, and sanction this
compilation of various band and solo guest performances. The ploy
worked, yielding a.. |

A brilliant singer-songwriter
Beth has established herself as one of Nashville's most prolific and
successful songwriters (and for that reason she is sometimes classified
inaccurately as a country singer), yet her own music owes more to folk,
jazz and pop than it does to country music, even though Rodney Crowell

When you possess a great pop voice, it's inevitable that you'll someday
make a pop album, and Alison Krauss has finally made hers. Instead of
bidding for radio airplay with the extravagant, extroverted pop of
Shania Twain, Trisha Yearwood, or Celine Dion, Krauss has crafted an

After immeasurable success in the US, Faith Hill finally comes to Europe

Excellent value, but hardly the best of.
There are so many Willie Nelson compilations that, for those new to his
wonderful music, it can be difficult to decide which one to buy. This
one covers some of the albums he recorded during his Columbia years.
However, it is impossible to produce a "best of Willie Neson" that only

The album on which she officially gave up on Nashville and began singing

Almost like eavesdropping
I first bought BNC's 'Deeper Still' album (and have reviewed it on this

compared 'Sand and Water' with 'Deeper Still', so considering what a
wonderful album that was, I just had to have this one. I had not heard

Not many artists can boast a Best Of album by their 21st

precocious Leann Rimes did with the retro "Blue" in 1996. In many ways,
that auspicious debut was her finest hour, full of hypnotic, yodel-laced

Surprisingly excellent
What a fantastic range of styles on this cd. Linda's voice, one I'd
heard before, but could never have put a name to, is truly unique. Her
range is big. She's particularly glorious on the duets. The more I've
listened to it, the more it just continues to be enjoyed.
Highly recommended! |

It's not encouraging that only one of the four new songs on this 1999
