    Every video I've seen with Alison, at the beginning of each song, she always step back, and let the musician in front have the spotlight. After the intro, she step forward. What class she has.

    Magnificent interpretation of a classic. Thank you, Alison and Jerry!
    I live in North Carolina but spend most of my time on the highway in my 18 wheeler.
    "Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway calling. Geese in flight and dogs that bite."
    Just last Tuesday outside Knoxville I saw a flock of Canada geese, flying under the quarter moon migrating south.
    Two weeks ago, I was at a IMS check station in Texas. The guards had a German Shepherd up on my running boards sniffing my cab. I petted the dog on the head. The guards yelled "DO NOT pet the dog. He will bite!!"
    Well he didn't bite me I am the buddy of all dogs, and cats too.
    Anyway, the highway is calling, geese are in flight and dogs may bite. But, I am going to Carolina in my mind.
    Forty years ago James Taylor wrote this song for me. Thank you, James, Alison, and Jerry.

      Scott Lewis Beautifully said, Scott. I've been through the Carolinas twice, when I was in college, age 20, fifty years ago. But the beauty of the mountains along I-85 around Salisbury was spectacular, and I remember them still, to this day. They left an indelible imprint in MY mind, and the words in the lyrics were almost ironic. I was on my way to Louisiana to visit my uncle, and I estimated it would take 2 and a half days. It did. But going through Virginia and the Carolinas was worth the effort. Absolutely pretty country. It was difficult to concentrate on my driving. I remember making a mental note to consider the Carolinas for my retirement, but a bad back and chronic pain burst that bubble. So I can only dream about them, and talk about them on RUclips.

    Alison you are my most favorite Bluegrass Singer. Saw you early 2000 at Pompano Beach, Florida outdoor venue in light rain. We sat center second row and every song went to our hearts.....two big tall 6' plus guys crying with tears of joy!!! You were awesome Alison!! Thanks!!!

    I watched this tribute to JT on AXS TV earlier today. He was chosen as Person of the Year by Music Cares back in 2006, and several artists paid tribute to his music. This song made me weep with its beauty. She's lovely.

      algonacchick Thanks for sharing the background regarding this performance. I hadn't heard about James' selection for this tribute, but he sure deserves it. He seems to genuimely be one of the good guys in the music business and his gentle and kind spirit comes through in this and many of his songs to the point of making me weep a bit when I think on them and especially when I hear them. JT forever!

    Just true pleasure watching and listening to two master musicians! They are the heart and soul of "Akus": Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas of Union Station, his Dobro accompaniment, Interlude, and vocal harmony, in a beautiful rendition of James Taylor's tribute to the rolling, wooded hills of the Atlantic South, the Carolinas.

    @kaysandesses 15 лет назад +4

    "There are few singers out there today who can sing like this live. No digitalization, no studio to cover up the flaws, just pure vocal."
    Anyone who has seen Alison Krauss perform live knows the truth in your praise.

    I’ve listened to this song by Alison many times and I’m always amazed at this young lady’s perfect ( to my ears) voice. I don’t think I have ever heard a bad note sung by her. Jerry Douglas, dobro maestro supreme. Just a wonderful collection of musicians and singers. I think James Taylor definitely would approve of this rendition.

    • @JoeInCT418
      @JoeInCT418 7 лет назад +2

      Her secret is that she is humble on stage; and in this song, Jerry Douglas gives her beautiful support with his dobro and his voice. They are a perfect pair for this song. Everyone says she has the voice of an angel, but I disagree; she is an angel, on loan to us.

  • @75DrummerBoy
    @75DrummerBoy 13 лет назад +1

    The most perfect voice EVER!!! so crystal clear and angelic. Alison is the greatest. And the most gorgeous woman in the word. I believe James wrote this song with a voice like hers in mind to sing it one day. And he didn't even know it!!!

She was a little babyfat kid when i first started listening to her, she sure has turned out to be a beautiful woman. I can listen to her all day, and all night. And you are right, Brilliant, says it all.

  • @75DrummerBoy

  • @paullevine1813
    @paullevine1813 11 лет назад

    I do think the most important thing here is that Alison keeps the feel of the song where it belongs, and that is the truest form of flattery when doing someone else's song. I can't imagine James Taylor not smiling at this rendition ,,, Is it not funny 34 people have a dislike for heartfelt music, I guess they don't like feeling ....
