Product Description
From Amazon.com
This two-CD, 25-song set, recorded in Louisville on two nights in the spring of 2002, finds bluegrass's most celebrated crossover band at the top of its game. Krauss's warm, feathery vocals, capable of conveying complex emotions in a single note, appear more full-bodied than in studio recordings, yet lose none of their sensual appeal or dramatic tension. She's perfect, for example, as the melancholy temptress on "Let Me Touch You for Awhile," coming across as both savior and seductress, while Jerry Douglas's Dobro echoes the searing strains of passion and pain. With banjoist-guitarist Ron Block, bassist Barry Bales, and guest drummer Larry Atamanuik anchoring the rhythm, the ensemble deftly blends bluegrass with jazz, rock, and folk, combining lightning speed (though rushing through "Forget About It") with sophisticated chops, tangible emotion, and thrilling vocal blends. The crowd, more spellbound with every note, doesn't even breathe on "Ghost in This House" and nearly tears the place down on Dan Tyminski's voice-of-George Clooney showcase, "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow." But who could blame them? It's only one highlight on an album of uncommon artistry, a moving testament to how good live music can be in the hands of world-class players. --Alanna Nash

Great songs with .5 min Loud Obnoxious cheering in between,
By "beekeepr" (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alison Krauss + Union Station Live (Audio CD)
Great songs, great performance but showcasing 30 plus seconds of loud and sometimes obnoxious cheering in between the songs...This ruined an otherwise GREAT performance by one of my favorite bluegrass groups. FIRE the Mixing engineers: Doug Sax and Robert Hadley who really [messed] this recording up... 30 plus seconds of LOUD cheering, you really felt you needed to showcase this? Better to purchase the studio albums! Anyone want to trade for "So Long, So Wrong" ?????????

A MUST-HAVE,
By momwith2kids (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alison Krauss + Union Station Live (Audio CD)
You've probably heard this a thousand times, but if you like bluegrass, and you liked the soundtrack to "O Brother Where Art Thou," you MUST pick up this live double-cd. The sound quality is ultimate perfection, no annoying audience noise during the songs, the musicianship is immaculate, the melodies are beautiful, and the harmonies are utterly fantastic. The music will make your heart pound, it even may bring a tear to your eye...I kid you not. Alison Krauss' voice is angelic, and Union Station's music and harmonies just create this unbelievable wall of sound. It's truly a gorgeous cd. Some of my favorite songs on here are Choctaw Hayride, Cluck Old Hen, Everytime You Say Goodbye, and Forget About It, Stay, Take Me For Longing and A Tribute to Peador O'Donnell--outstanding dobro work. But really this whole double-cd is great and I always listen to it all the way through. It cheers me up, makes the day seem a little brighter. I'm not exaggerating here. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for your friend. Buy it for your folks.

Pleasant but hardly her best,
This review is from: Alison Krauss + Union Station Live (Audio CD)
The audience is obviously in love, judging from all of the whooping and hollering. These are competent, careful renditions of tracks I liked better in their studio versions - Krauss' voice is better suited to the intimacy of headphones than the concert hall - with nothing really catching fire until they "kick out the jams," so to speak, on Bad Company's "Oh! Atlanta." Jerry Douglas is an astounding dobro player, and he makes some of the tracks sound positively baroque, when simplicity would have perhaps worked a bit better. Pleasant enough, but mostly hollow inside. You're better off with Krauss's more intimate and emotionally powerful "greatest hits" compilation, "Now That I've Found You."
