This song was first recorded by Keith Whitley, who ended up dying at a very young age. He was a superstar in country music, and his legend has only increased since his death. After this remake was released, a version was made that inserted Whitley's voice in certain places, and created a duet out of it. It was played on the radio quite a bit.
If you like this, you need to react to “Whiskey Lullaby” by Allison Kraus and Brad Paisley. It’s such and beautiful and heartbreaking song! I know, heartbreaking is sad but trust me, it’s worth it…
Alison has the most Grammys of any female recording artist. She has 27 and deserves every one of them. Y’all’s sweet smiles also put me in such a great mood. Thank you!
She's amazing but I think Shania twain is better. I'm probably biased tho cuz my late father grew me up listening to her all the time. And Shania is Canadian like me so lol.
The voice of an angel. Her version of “Ghost in This House”, and her, along with Vince Gill and Ricky Skaggs, singing “Go Rest High on That Mountain”, should be heard at least once by every human being on Earth.
Alison Krauss is one of the most influential people in the genre of Bluegrass. Her band, Union Station, is worth a reaction or two on its own. A good Alison Krauss bluegrass song that features her band , is "Steel Rails". Strongly recommended.
Eh only whtin putting on strings,but yousualy, but your yousing your instrument to slice it up,ok goes both ways. By the way i play mandolin and i cook. happy fun time.
Her and Brad Paisley with "Whiskey Lullaby" is amazing. One of the purest voices out there. You should hit up Martina McBride again with "This One's For The Girls".
Totally forgot about This Ones For The Girls. Idk how, that song got me through when I broke off my engagement, lemme tell you. I’ve honestly never listened to it without crying, especially because it came out when I was “about 25.”
Robert Plant heard her angelic voice on the radio and contacted her, they ended up doing an album together in 2007 which won 5 Grammys. The unlikely duo teamed up again and released a 2nd album in 2021. Alison also plays a killer violin. Their harmonies are out of this world.
Like everyone says, she's absolutely incredible. I wouldn't even mess with her collaborations at first. You gotta know how dang good she is, plus her band, Union Station. Unparalleled.
She’s incredibly talented - plays the violin/fiddle. She did an album that won Grammys - she has the most Grammy award wins of all time - incredible singer and player. That sound in the song you questioned is a mandolin - jerry Douglas one of the best.
Alison recorded a multi Grammy award winning duet album with, of all people, Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin) called "Raising Sand". It was produced by T-Bone Burnett and featured many great songs including "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On) and "Rich Woman". They have a new album coming out in November 2021, the first single is "Can't Let Go".
Her band, Union Station, did a lot of the music for "O' Brother, Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney..."Man of Constant Sorrow" was a big hit from that movie. They are a powerhouse themselves.
Union Station is mainly a bluegrass band and is the tightest band you will ever find. Everything they do is perfect. Add in Alison's violin along with Jerry Douglas playing the Dobro and you can't go wrong.
I have not seen anyone mention that the reason her voice is so pure is because it is as close to pitch perfect as you can get. And I like her voice better than Dolly's.
One of the few artists, like Louis Armstrong, as renowned for her playing as her singing. Her original recording contract (age 14, as I recall) was based on her Bluegrass fiddling, of which she is a master. I was lucky to see her with her great band, Union Station. Just phenomenal.
Love Alison Krauss since first hearing "Now that I Found You" a few decades ago. Her teaming with Union Station is pure gold. Ironically, as sweet as her voice is, the majority of her music catalog is a stark contrast with songs often of heartbreak. The formula works, but her love life unfulfilled through song has me rooting for her.
I have attended 1000's of concerts, mostly Rock ones, I saw Allison & Union Station in concert, the concert was PERFECT, her voice live sounds better than recorded, it is angelic, I cried several times during that concert and I really can't say why...
Here's something : Krauss made an album with the front singer of Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant. Against all expectations it was a match made in heaven. Check out "Killing the Blues" where their voices blend beautifully.
She was one of the sirens at the river in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, singing Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby, also sang Let's Go Down To The River To Pray. Her band member Dan Tyminski sang Man of Constant Sorrow as George Clooney's voice.
She put out her first album when she was just 16. She is known for having perfect pitch and the ability to hold it throughout songs. Her recent work is doing duets with none other than Sir Robert Plant!
I first saw her at a bluegrass festival when she was 13. She was sitting on a hay bale and I asked her what she us up to and she just said she was there to sing a little. At that age I knew she was going to be a superstar.
Watch the Carpenters “ hurting each other” as well as tons of other hit songs they sang. This sister/brother band is still a favorite to this day and they had their hits in the 70’s
It was written by Paul Overstreet (an excellent artist in his own right) and Don Schlitz, but was performed by Whitley, also one of the purest voices in country music and gone before his time.
Hi guys! Love your reactions. This was a song originally done by Keith Whitley! You'll have to listen to his version of it too. He does a wonderful job with it as well. Have a great day!
This is a great cover of this song, Alison Krause is an amazing singer, but do your selves a favor and check out Keith Whitley. He was a brilliant song writer, the feeling and emotion he could put into words are legendary. I'm No Stranger To The Rain, probably his most famous song besides this one.
Jordan, the instrument you were asking about was a mandolin. It's often used in folk, bluegrass and Appalachian mountain music. It's a gorgeous instrument!
Not only does Alison Krauss have the most pure Angelic voice i have ever heard...but MAN can she play the FIDDLE!!!! Saw her and Union Station Play at a Chili Cookoff at Virginia Beach in 1992 and never forgot it!
Alison Krauss has the voice of an angel. "Stay", "Ghost In This House" (goosebumps) live with her band 'Union Station' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dWRGZaHb8xE.html, & "Baby, Now That I've Found You" are a few of my favorite Alison songs. Glad you found her music!
Agreed 100%. SO many great tunes. 'Private Life' is a must ( and then do the Grace Jones version). I once saw Chrissie Hynde play from the rafters at a typical b-ball arena. She led her band and controlled the show and stage that was obvious from a long way away. She can STRUT and was ripping.
I am so glad that you reacted to Alison; she is an amazing singer/songwriter/musician. Her voice is like crystal. That instrument is a Mandolin by the way. Great reaction to a beautiful song.
Another smooth soothing voice is Norah Jones "Come Away With Me" Also of course the purest female voice is Karen Carpenter. Take your pick on their songs, you can't go wrong.
What Jay said right away - "Smooth!" Yeah, that is Allison Krauss. And at the same time, she's remarkably versatile. This tune is pretty straight up Country. There are a number of videos from a collaboration with Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, at his request, that came out surprisingly well. She is so quietly talented.
She is an incredible fiddle player and her band Union Station is the Gold Standard for modern Bluegrass music. She and They are among my absolute favorites. One thing you guys might be interested in is she did a couple duet albums with Robert Plant from Led Helpline and they are fantastic togethet!
She absolutely killed this cover... BUT!!! To hear Mr. Whitley's original version, and knowing it was for his wife (fellow country star Lorrie Morgan), you can feel the raw emotion so much more. He had a way with words!
At last. Great bluegrass singer with a voice that is nothing short of genius. Allison is also recognised as one of the very best fiddle players in the industry Checkout her and the band she is in, Union Station Paper Airplane Gravity Miles To Go Lucky One
Such a sweet, talented, and humble performer. I luv everything she sings, and her violin playing will take your breath away. Have you played any Bonnie Raitt for Female Fridays? Love Letter, Love Has No Pride, Diming of the Day.
You got it right when you said her voice is ethereal. She sings like the angels. She’s very talented. She sings a lot of bluegrass and plays as well, she’s wonderful to listen to no matter what she’s singing or playing. ❤❤❤ Oh and that’s a mandolin being played which she also can play.

You'll have to check out the man who wrote this sometime. Keith Whitley don't close your eyes. Also Allison krauss does a song with Brad Paisley called whiskey lullaby
Alison Krauss truly has the voice of an angel. Every time I hear her sing, I just want to envelop her in a warm loving hug. When Dolly Parton was recognized for the Kennedy Center Honors, Alison sang "Jolene" to honor her. The musical instrument you couldn't identify is the mandolin.
Hi guys, first of all congratulations on your lovely baby boy! Alison Krause does a beautiful rendition of 'Go Rest High on That Mountain' with Vince Gill and Ricky Scaggs, it will bring a tear to your eye for sure.
If you guys want to hear another powerful female country singer, check out Reba McEntire, preferably "Fancy" but any Reba song will do. Thanks guys for the great job you do on the channel.
Love Alison Krauss. This is a cover but so beautiful. You will love the tunes from Oh Brother Where Art Thou (movie). She is one of many artists who sing on the soundtrack.
And they're getting ready to release a second, with a tour in 2022! The Plant/Krauss collaboration ( with T-Bone Burnett ) was crazy good! Two of my favorite singers, but I never pictured them doing anything together. They knocked the first album out of the park! I'm hoping the second will be more of the same!
I lover her “Down To The River To Pray” from “Oh Brother, Where Art Though?” She has also been a producer for tons and tons of great music by other artists.
Cover her duet with Brad Paisley. Whiskey lullaby. The late Kieth Whitley was the original artist. But Allison does have the voice of an angel. She’s more bluegrass.
She is an awesome songwriter and people think she fell off the Earth but she’s like Carol King or Linda Rhondstat and continues to work even though she probably never has to again. Such passion in all she does.
Please do a song by Sarah McLachlan. She's got one of the purest voices EVER. "Possession", "Building a Mystery" and "Sweet Surrender" are among her best.
This song was originally written and sung by the late singer-songwriter Keith Whitley. He wrote this song for his wife, country singer-songwriter Lorrie Morgan. The song peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country chart back in 1988. Alison Krauss's version peaked at #3 on the Billboard Country chart back in 1995. What a beautiful song indeed!!!
As someone who is more of a rock and Hip-Hop guy. Allison& Union station are absolutely incredible. And check her resume cuz she's been stacking Grammys for a long time. Immensely talented! And I'm a grown man in my 40s and whenever I hear the song I got to do everything to fight back the tears😢 also if you're a rock fan her and Robert plant do all sorts of collaborations together!
She has won 27 Grammys, the second most of all time. She is so amazing and talented especial when you account that she plays fiddle, piano and mandolin in some of the best bluegrass bands.
I've never listened to anything from Alison Krauss in my life! Yep, this is the first time I've ever heard her. I'm in love already!!! I have to listen to some more of her music now. I'm a fan already!!!
Try Sarah Watkins for a Friday either with 1 of her Award winning groups, I'm With Her, or Nickel Creek (Reasons Why, Destination) or solo ( Young in All The Wrong Way, Pick Up Your Spade) among others. Definitely hit Nickel Creek at some point.
Nice! Here is a list of songs you should listen to from each decade: 60’s: Jackie Wilson- (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher 70’s: The Commodores- Easy 80’s: Billy Squier- The Stroke 90’s: Blues Traveler- Hook Every single one is a jam you will love.
Jackie Wilson- Lonely Teardrops, I think from 1960. You want to see that live performance. He's great! Elvis was one of his biggest fans, and his friends.
