Alison Krauss & Union Station - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, USA, 2003 | ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST

Alison Krauss & Union Station - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 7-2003

Paul says: Here's yet another from my flood of "PBS Soundstage" albums. This time, it's from Alison Krauss and her backing band Union Station. The band plays a pretty prominent role, with a couple of the songs here being sung by band members other than Krauss.

Alison Krauss is a star of bluegrass and country, and had her biggest success in the 1990s. Normally, I'm not a fan of bluegrass, but she does it in a very accessible way. Note for instance her cover of the song "Baby, Now that I've Found You," a Motown-styled 1960s song by the British band the Foundations, totally redone by her.

By the way, note that Krauss has a connection to the 2000 movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" She appeared in the movie, singing the song "Down to the River to Pray." But also, probably the best known song from that movie was "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow." Krauss, didn't sing that in the movie, but one member of Union Station, Dan Tyminski, did. So he sang it in this concert as well.

This album is 54 minutes long.
