One of the most pure and angelic voices around. She’s also a world class bluegrass fiddler! That was her band, Union Station, playing as The Soggy Bottom Boys in O Brother Where Art Thou? She also has made two great duet albums with Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin- Raising Sand and Raise the Roof. Her material is only by the finest Nashville songwriters.
Yes, Alison does play the violin otherwise known as a fiddle in country music. Alison sings a lot of what is called Bluegrass music but also does straight country. Her band is one of top bands in the business. Alison is also known for having perfect pitch. No auto tune needed for her.
It’s not just Alison, who btw has an amazing voice) Union Station, her backup band is composed of consummate musicians who compliment her stellar voice so well.
Nice! One of the most perfectly angelic voices on the planet. For something a little different you should listen to her duets with Robert Plant (as in Zeppelin's Robert Plant) - you wouldn't think those two voices would blend so well but they are brilliant together!
Alison is a legend in Country. She also sang backup on all Dolly Parton albums for ten years. She is also an amazing fiddle player, so you weren't wrong, Nick. This is a cover. I think you'll also enjoy the original by Keith Whitley. Another absolute Country legend.
Origally recorded and written by the great, late Keith Whitley, then covered by Allison and Ronan Keating for the film Notting Hill. The line is "you say it best when you say nothing at all"
Everytime she does a duet with an artist. It goes to number 1 and gets another Grammy. She has Grammy with her band Union Station with bluegrass. She is child prodigy with the violin.
The instrument was actually a mandolin quite an interesting piece great song been covered a few times as well as always love your reactions there always genuine
She has the voice of an Angel And this song has spoken to my heart since I first heard it way back in the 90’s when I was just a kid who sometimes had trouble speaking at all
When Alison Krauss sings you will never hear a sour note. The same can be said for her playing of the fiddle/violin. She has played and sung with many different artists, of different music styles.
We have been appreciating Alison Krauss for many years now, from her early stuff, Bluegrass, Union Station thru to now with Robert Plant. Such an artist.
Great reaction! The violin and the Cello are 2 of the hardest instruments to master, and though I have no idea how such things are determined, Allison is considered a virtuoso level violinist.
I almost never talk but have never been accused of saying it best. Yes her voice and the lyrics. "You say it best when you say nothing at all". The look in his eyes, the touch of his hand. She was a Bluegrass fiddler.
Bluegrass and country singer and violinist. One of the best who ever lived. That's a mandolin and that's one of the greatest Bluegrass bands in the history of music. It doesn't say here but Jerry Douglas is probably playing the slide guitar (Dobro) on this video and he is the greatest Dobro player who ever lived and probably who will ever live.
I had a friend and he was a lot older than me and he was a very very good mandolin player and he played a little bit with Alison . Never belonged to the band . Just knew someone that got him on stage at a bluegrass festival one year . And this is a Keith Whitley song she's doing . Keith is from Kentucky and I am too .
Bluegrass! There's some distinction there from pop country. Alison fronts a band called Union Station that is made up of guys that are all award-winning as individuals. And she made her bones as a child on the bluegrass festival circuit as a fiddler long before she ever started singing.
Shenandoah and Allison Krauss Vicinity of the Heart is also an amazing song, if you like this song look up the Keith Whitley Allison Krauss version of this song!
The lyric is: You say it best when you say nothing at all. Actually Alison is a bluegrass artist singing a country song. This song was a cover that was originally on a memorial album for Keith Whitley after his death from alcohol poisoning. Many country artists did his songs on the album, but this one went huge.
That's a mandolin. Alison is bluegrass more than country. Alison has been performing some Led Zeppelin songs with Robert Plant for a few years now. They sing very well together; start with "Black Dog".
Mandolin. Alison can play violin, too. Great live performances. Her band "Union Station" is stellar. Some would say she's more bluegrass than country, particularly live.
That’s a mandolin that’s being played not a ukelele. It’s a unique sound that I like and Allison Krauss also plays the mandolin but not in this song. Her voice is ethereal❤❤❤
A lot of grammys were stole from her while they denied her best country vocalists grammy she deserved ,but she is fabulous and far surpassed them all . The song written by Keith Whitley now deceased.
I'd recommend the next cover by Ronan Keating for the NOtting Hill soundtrack, my personal favourite version. Hell, all his songs and his band Boyzone too!
You should react to Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) and Alison Krauss together. They put out their second album together last fall. They are absolutely dynamite together!!!
You should react to "Oh, Atlanta" from her. A bit faster, more twang, it's great! My mom played her all the time growing up so this was a great shock for a reaction. Thank you!
She’s lovely ... but no no no - it’s an original Ronan Keating song and it’s brilliant! Not to attempt to overshadow her version of this ..., but it will always be his song ..... our wedding song 🥰
