		As all bluegrass bands must, Alison Krauss and Union Station toured extensively in 1995, but unlike any bluegrass band before them, they were besieged by huge crowds at their own shows, and also played as the opening act for the likes of Bob Dylan, Garth Brooks, Dwight Yoakam and Alan Jackson.
		Krauss does seem to have the perfect voice for love songs and heartbreak songs, so it shouldn't be surprising that she sings so many of them on the new album, but the fact that eight of her nine songs are slower tunes was more coincidence than anything premeditated.
		As the band tours, no doubt Alison will be keeping her ear out for songs that might be suitable for the next Alison Krauss and Union Station project, although hopefully it won't be five years in the making.

	George Graham Reviews Alison Krauss
		Fiddle player Alison Krauss was a prodigy, appearing with her debut album at the age of 14.
		Krauss with her typical elegance while the group's instrumental backing on this harmonically intricate composition shows how the acoustic instrumentation of bluegrass can be used with great subtlety to enhance the emotions of the song.
		Alison Krauss and Union Station certainly does leave one wanting to spend the whole day listening to their striking blend of memorable vocals and superb musicianship, in the service of some choice material, much of it being given its first recording.

		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.
		Krauss has stayed true to her bluegrass roots, as well as to Union Station, but this cross-section of contemporary bluegrass songs, joyous gospel, and canny rock covers testifies to the young artist's luminous appeal.
		Alison Krauss, along with her band Union Station, is probably the best-known bluegrass artist currently recording.

		Blending bluegrass with folk, Krauss was instantly acclaimed from the start of her career, but it wasn't until her platinum-selling 1995 compilation Now That I've Found You that she became a mainstream star.
		Between her 1987 debut Too Late to Cry and Now That I've Found You, she matured from a child prodigy to a versatile, ambitious, and diverse musician and, in the process, made some of the freshest bluegrass of the late '80s and early '90s.
		The album was recorded with Krauss' backup band, the Union Station, which featured guitarist Jeff White, banjoist Alison Brown, and bassist Viktor Krauss; the following year, the group won the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass in America's National Band Championship contest.

	JS Online: Fiddle fad: Alison Krauss plays on
		Alison Krauss and the Union Station band have gotten a boost from the success of the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack.
		Krauss and the band are touring to support their new album, "New Favorite," a critically acclaimed recording that continues their evolutionary marriage of pop, bluegrass, country and folk music.
		With its variety of tempos and textures, the 13-track disc has put Krauss and her band at the forefront of the modern acoustic movement, and - although it might not be intentional, the record does break the strict stylistic stranglehold many purists have tried to impose on bluegrass.

	BBC - Folk & Country Review - Alison Krauss & Union Station, Live
		Central to the album were the vocal performances by Alison Krauss and, naturally, the song "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" by the Soggy Bottom Boys (in fact Dan Tyminski with Krauss' band Union Station).
		Krauss' delivery of the Foundation's "Baby Now That I've Found You" takes the song into a realm so far removed from the original that by mid-way you've forgotten there ever was another version.
		Alison's vocals are haunting and supreme with a nonstop variety of melodies and harmonies that can delight even the most seasoned veteran music lover.

		Some may fail to realize, however, that Krauss' amazing talent on the fiddle is what first brought her to the attention of the bluegrass world.
		Krauss and her band seem to have a wonderful time together, laughing and joking around on stage.
		Nevertheless, a Krauss concert is jam-packed with underappreciated gems that are better written and far better played and sung than 99 percent of the music on country radio today.

	The Music Box: Alison Krauss & Union Station - New Favorite
		Although Alison Krauss utilized members of Union Station throughout her last release Forget About It, the disc was most definitely a solo outing.
		Indeed, Krauss is onto something here as she brings a certain magic to his songs that lights them up in ways that Castleman's own renditions fail to accomplish.
		One of the reasons that Krauss' work with Union Station is so effective is that their collaborations draw from a diverse array of musical styles, offering a steaming slice of Americana by blurring the lines between country, folk bluegrass, and pop.

		Alison Krauss and her band have gained popularity in recent months, thanks to the success of the O Brother, Where Art Thou?
		Alison Krauss & Union Station has a voice like honey, raw and honest and sweet, and she wraps it lovingly around these achy ballads and American Gothic lamentations.
		Krauss is blessed with one of the most coolly beautiful voices on record, and she's often better than her material, which is once again the case here.

	Country Standard Time: Alison Krauss + Union Station in concert
		Playing a few hours before a very enthusiastic, sold-out crowd, Krauss clearly showed time and again why she is where she is in bluegrass with her great voice often leading the way.
		Krauss can be funny, especially during introductions of her band and particularly upright bassist Barry Bales, a hunting aficionado, but Krauss seems like she's more at home playing 'grass.
		Krauss closed with three gospel songs during her encore, including "Down to the River to Pray" from "Oh Brother." Deep into the concert, it was yet another side of Krauss - spare, simple, singing great.

	Alison Krauss - Forget About It
		Alison Krauss - Forget About It Alison is an artist who has had major success in the fields of country, bluegrass and popular music, and on this, her eighth album she has produced and album that doesn't quite fit in any of those categories.
		The album is melody-driven acoustic music topped with Alison's soft, gentle and understated voice - it's a classy and laid back combination that works well from start to finish.
		Her choice of material comes from a wide spectrum, from a 70's Todd Rundgren ballad to contemporary tracks - it provides the band with some great source material to work with; the band are exceptional and Jerry Douglas' dobro playing is particularly worthy of note.
