Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

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 wonderful, odds-beating crossover hit with Krauss's cover of "Baby, Now That I've Found You", a carousing late 1960s pop chant transformed into a delicate, vulnerable declaration of love. Focusing on Krauss's lovely, yearning soprano, the track elevated the musician above her resolutely democratic role in her quintet, catapulting Krauss to the biggest bluegrass success story in over 30 years. Krauss has stayed true to her roots, as well as to Union Station, but this cross-section of contemporary songs, joyous gospel and canny rock covers testify to the young artist's luminous appeal. --Sam Sutherland

5.0 out of 5 stars Now That I've Found You, April 25 2002

This review is from: Now That Ive Found You A Coll (Audio CD)

Covering some of her finest moments of the first decade or so of her career, "Now That I've Found You" IS the place for the novice fan to start with this talented lady. This compilation album includes three new songs as well as four others that only appeared on tribute albums (not on any of Alisons' albums). Whether she's with her Union Station band or not, Krauss always hits on all cylinders. Her vocals are dynamic and emotional, yet soft and not over-the-top. She has a deep care for keeping her personality and distictiveness in the music, and one cannot overlook her great instrumental talent (fiddle). Tired of female vocalists substituting volume for emotion in their singing? You have come to the right place! Alison and her backing musicians will blow you away on this recording!

The title track and *In The Palm of Your Hand* are wonderfull cover songs and Ms. Krauss' bluegrass-pop reworking of *When You Say Nothing At All* is every bit as enjoyable as Keith Whitley's original. Also, listen for the country-blues instrumental work on *Oh, Atlanta* and *When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart*. My favorite Alison Krauss song is the lamenting *Everytime You Say Goodbye*. It has a beautiful melody that starts off with a bouncy mandolin and banjo and then slides into a rich fiddle solo. "And your words just are like arrows through my heart, everytime you say goodbye" is one of my favorite lyrics of all-time.

The entire album is played to a light, if not non-existent percussion backbeat. Alison does a crafty job of refreshing bluegrassy music while blending in touches of pop and folk. Add in her top-notch vocals, unique phrasing and fiddling and you've got an artist who has certainly carved out a niche of their own. This album will leave you craving for more and luckily AK has put out a good 7 or 8 other records. Highly recommended!

Thank You.

This review is from: Now That Ive Found You A Coll (Audio CD)

I can't describe how wonderful this recording is, but I'll try. Whether you like bluegrass or not, if you appreciate good singing, good playing, and wonderful melodies, this CD is for you. Many people have talked about how relaxing, soothing and peaceful (not to mention fun!) this collection is. It's that and more. These are songs that you will find yourself singing, humming, and thinking about after just a few listens. Alison does a wide range of covers, including the title track from the Foundations, a song by Bad Company ("Oh Atlanta"), and a wonderful version of the Beatles' "I Will." Now about Alison Krauss...

You can read here and in many other places about the enormous talent Alison has been blessed with. That is obvious in the initial hearing of the CD. I appreciate the talent, but even more I appreciate the love that she has for music. I've seen and heard many performers in several different genres of music, but it is becoming a true rarity to encounter artists who really, truly love what they do. You can tell that Alison Krauss (and Union Station) has a geniune joy in doing what she does. It comes across in the music. That joy of singing, performing, communicating with an audience is sadly lacking with most artists today. Too many artists (some who once had this joy and lost it somewhere along the way) are in music for all the wrong reasons...money, fame, you name it. Krauss will have none of it. She still records for Rounder Records, a relatively small label, even though she's had offers from the big labels. She refuses to perform in big arena concerts because she would lose the close connection she has with her audience. I admire her for her decisions and for her love of her craft. Take one listen to this CD and I think you'll agree.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, sweet music..., Aug 26 2002

By

This review is from: Now That Ive Found You A Coll (Audio CD)

Alison Krauss and Union Station have been recording and treading the boards long enough now that, despite her still rather young age, Alison is now considered a veteran of the bluegrass scene. And a very worthy one. She is not only an extremely gifted musician, but a nice vocalist and an artist who respects tradition. Everything I've heard her do I like, and that holds especially true for this compilation. Every track is a winner thanks to the remarkable taste and ability on display. Here's my introduction to Alison. It must have been 1994 or so. Late one night I was listening to my local college radio station, drifting in and out of sleep. Then from out of nowhere came this beautiful, angelic voice from my speakers, covering Paul McCartney's Beatles classic 'I Will'. I was astounded, as it was the greatest Beatles cover I had heard (and I'm a huge Beatles fan.) To my disappointment they didn't say who the artist was and they wouldn't answer the phone when I tried calling. It took me a good while, but I finally found the recording. And it is, of course, on this cd. This is a great cd. I recommend this highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars isn't nearly enough!
This was one of the first CDs I purchased when we broke down and switched from LP to CDs. I had seen Alison on Austin City Limits and was absolutely blown away at her talent... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Voice of an Angel
Allison Krauss has the voice of an angel. Union Station would win an instrumental duel with the devil.
