When you possess a great pop voice, it's inevitable that you'll someday make a pop album, and Alison Krauss has finally made hers. Instead of bidding for radio airplay with the extravagant, extroverted pop of Shania Twain, Trisha Yearwood, or Celine Dion, Krauss has crafted an intimate, understated chamber-pop album reminiscent of Joni Mitchell's Blue or Rosanne Cash's Interiors. The material comes from such mainstream-pop writers as Michael McDonald, Todd Rundgren, Allen Reynolds, and Danny O'Keefe, but Krauss the producer gives the songs a distinctive spin. She layers the harmonies of her regular Union Station band, the Cox Family singers, pianist Matt Rollings, drummer Jim Keltner, and mandolinist Sam Bush to create a lush, hushed sound that's neither traditional bluegrass nor electric country-pop. Krauss multitracks her own fiddle parts and blends them with Jerry Douglas's Dobro to create an unorthodox string-quartet sound. In this setting her tender, translucent vocals capture that moment when a relationship is unraveling before the lovers are ready to let it go. --Geoffrey Himes

Summary: My Favorite Alison Krauss CD 2008-02-17
Comment: This is definately the most beautiful Alison Krauss album and I think her very best in terms of every song being great and consistant mood. Sometimes I prefer one mood on an album as opposed to a mix of moods/tempo.

Summary: Relaxing!!! 2007-09-27
Comment: This her second album I have bought and I am becoming a fan! I guess it is bluegrass type music with a bit of James Taylor in it. I just know I like it!

Summary: just too impersonal 2007-03-21
Comment: Alison Krauss has a dazzlingly beautiful voice. I have bought several of her cds, hoping to find the one that speaks to the heart. But for me, her voice is just a little cold, just a little impersonal...the direct opposite of say, Johnny Cash, who couldn't actually sing, but his delivery almost always stirred true emotions. This cd is another clinically perfect item from the refrigerator, in my opinion.
