Aptly Titled

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Alison Krauss and Union Station continue to amaze with their ability to dig into American music both old and new. They combine the best of bluegrass, country, and folk and make it all sound organic. Two of the best songs in this set are by Robert Lee Castleman, a writer whose name should be a household word but isn't, alas. Castleman's songs are little stories; he is something of the Raymond Carver of country music (not to be confused with Robert Carver of audiophile fame). With expressive singing and energetic playing, the band provides solid musicianship from start to finish, and the recording quality is excellent. For old fans and new fans alike, this CD is aptly named.

More classic bluegrass, who needs country?

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Alison and the boys strike gold again. I've only just got this album and I love it already. In fact after sampling some of Dan Tyminsky's own albums on Amazon, it reinforces my liking of this album and all the performances within.

So many fans can't be all wrong!

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Actually, I'm not a very big Alison Krauss fan. Her voice can grate on my nerves and it's often the music, despite her voice, that I end up liking so much. But this CD has one very strong thing going for it; "Let me touch you for a while" has got to be one of the sexiest songs in who-knew-grass! It's intimate, the guitar playing is fabulous, and Krauss's voice suits it perfectly. It's worth buying the CD just to burn that song on your i-pod and support AK & US in the hopes that they produce another hit song like this one.

Do NOT pass this up

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I never knew I liked Bluegrass until I heard Alison Kraus and Union Station. Her voice is clear and sweet yet she can roar like a lion. The banjos and other instruments are played like they're on fire. I love this music!

Awesome

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Great mix of bluegrass banjo, fiddle, and Alison. Even my two year old loves the banjo. Very well put together.
