Amid all the well-deserved praise for Alison's flawless vocal, I cannot pass up this opportunity to remind everyone that Jerry Douglas is the finest dobro player to ever walk the earth.
Couldn’t agree with you more. Alison has about as pure a voice as I’ve ever heard. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her hit a bad note ever. She definitely is a fantastic talent.👍👍🇨🇦
Alison Krause is the only person I’d trust with this gem by James Taylor. She did not disappoint. One of the greatest voices of country music, and, as you said, such a talented fiddler. Saw her with Union Station about 15 years ago, give or take, and what a concert! Thanks for the song and reaction. You can follow Alison and never grow tired of listening to her.
I 100% agree, it takes moxy to cover a legend like James Taylor, let alone one of his signature songs. Alison was more than up for the challenge, she absolutely smashed it.
You are the only person who understands how to do this. You listen to the whole song without interrupting. You also do your research. And if you like Allison you have good taste in music.
Yes Pj, her tone is just crazy good !! The way she has always used those breathy vibratos', the moves thru her vocal register, it truly is a gift, singers don't learn that skill, they are gifted that skill to share with the world. I am with you my friend, I'm glad this angel got out of the gate !!
They were paying tribute to James Taylor who was in the audience. This is such a beautiful composition and Jerry Douglas Playing his Dobro is superb. I have listened to her since she was young. She’s like fine wine, she gets better with age. She also pays tribute to Paul Simon at his event with a rendition of ✅The Boxer ✅With Shawn Colvin. Should check it out you won’t be disappointed. Of course she is known for her slow songs. She has a voice of an angel
According to Fil over at Wings of Pegasua yt channel, Alison is just the gold standard of pitch-perfect vocals. No auto tune needed anywhere NEAR this angelic voice.
Thank you! There are soo many to hear. All great. Duets.her band members are all super talented as well. Way too much to talk about here. Just a lot of beauty! F-DW-5/19/22.
I've been a Huge Allison Fan since her 1st radio hit. Beautiful, Class, Traditionalist with a Twist, Great Musician and did I tell She Can Sing?? A very deep catalog of great music and she has a long way yet to go. Her Duets with other Artists is a Whose Who of Country and Bluegrass Music. Seeing her is in my bucket list.
I’m a huge fan of Alison and also of James Taylor, so of course this song is in my top 10 all time, any genre. Thanks so much for bringing it to us and sharing your thoughts.
I’d love to be lullabied to sleep by her beautiful voice. Boy howdy, can you just imagine how heavenly that would be? I sure can. Another great choice 👍 🙏
The movie O Brother Where Art Thou is a treasure trove of great folk songs. Alison sings “ Down In the River To Pray” in it. Another great song from it is Man Of Constant Sorrow which is performed by her Union Station band. The best version of this song is by acapella group, Home Free.
@@DjPjrocReacts911 wonderful! I witnessed the conversion to Frydom before my very eyes! Their collab with Kenny Rogers on the spiritual Children Go Where I Send Thee is beyond joyous! I can’t WAIT to see you react to it.
She has such a hauntingly beautiful voice no matter what song she’s singing! One of her best songs is Jacobs dream which tells the story about 2 little boys who go missing. Very sad and soulful song. great reaction
Funny you should say that Albert. This happens to be a galla event honoring James. As Alison and Jerry are announced and come onstage James is on his feet applauding. Approve he does.
So much talent wrapped up in one little lady. You have sure brought me a lot of joy taking me back down memory lane to music that I had mostly forgotten. So glad to walk down these paths again.🥰 A heart felt Thank You.
If there is a purer female voice on the planet, I’ve never heard it. I’ve been to 6 of her concerts. Angelic to say the least. She could sing me the phone book.
I think I own everything she's ever done, and have had the great pleasure of seeing her and Union Station three times in concert. They are incredible musicians!!
Allison does a beautiful duet with James Taylor. How's The World Treating You. It is considered Bluegrass/Country. I have never heard her sing this song. Such a beautiful voice, thank you P. J. !
She has such an unique and amazing voice. Alison Krauss and Union Station are among my top 3 Blue Grass bands, along with New Grass Revival and The Dillards.
This led to one of my best RUclips rabbit holes. Watched this when it came out. Never heard a guitar like that. Discovered dobro guitar and jerry douglas. Discovered Jerry Douglas on many episodes of "Transatlantic sessions". Discovered songs by Tim obrien (brother wind), nancy griffith, paul Brady and so many more. Great music
The thing is God allows us to keep Alison on this earth so that we might have a taste of what heaven is like. This is the sound of the angels singing. The guy sharing the stage with her is Jerry Douglas. He is recognized as the best dobro player in the business. I believe this is from a TV special recognizing the genius of songwriter James Taylor. JT has written some of the best songs ever. In the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou, a member of Alisons band dubbed the singing voice of George Clooneys character and Alison, Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch provided the voices of the three "sirens" at the river.
Her song "Paper Airplane" is probably my favorite song she sings. I was luck enough to see her in concert in 2018, she closed the show with an the song "It Is Well with my Soul" a cappella. It was just a beautiful song.
James taylor wrote this when in england working with The Beatles on their new record label. He was having a good time, but got very homesick for home in North Carolina. The Beatles are the "holy ghost of other standing around me. Still I'm on the dark side of the moon"
Thank you. Alison has the voice of an angel. I think you’d really enjoy “Wildfire” by Michael Martin Murphey & the Rio Grande Band. The video with 7.2 million views is the best one. Michael has such a great voice.
Thank you for the reaction. I love Alison’s voice, it’s so peaceful. If you haven’t done so yet I highly recommend her cover of When You Say Nothing at All. Keith Whitley’s original version is also excellent. Let’s not forget Jerry Douglas on the dobro, he’s a monster musician.
Allison could sing the phone book and I would listen. We are getting to see her this year on her tour of duets with Robert Plant of Stairway to Heaven fame.
Is this country music? I'm a jaded New Yorker that hates country music.This video makes me take a step back. This is a beautiful song elegantly sung by performed by a great singer and band. Maybe I like county music?
Thank you so much for just taking the time to relax and listen to music that even if you wanted to hate it there's just about no way you could! So much violence and hate these days,... just wish more people would do this...Keep up the good work ❣❣
DANG.... I would love to sit down with you and have a drink or 12 and let you show me what I have never heard and maybe show you some things you have never heard. I love country music, but there is a lot of southern rock I think you would really like. Marshall Tucker band being one of my all time favorites. Country Music takes me back to my grandparents farm. Up very early, eating breakfast as George Jones and many others played on the radio. Keep it up and maybe check out Marshall Tucker, Allman Brothers, Lynard Skinner and many others
![Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglass -- Carolina In My Mind [REACTION/RATING]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zkjQLkzYN_s/mqdefault.jpg)
In my opinion, this Alison Krause rendition of James Taylor’s song is one of the very best things on the Internet.
Amid all the well-deserved praise for Alison's flawless vocal, I cannot pass up this opportunity to remind everyone that Jerry Douglas is the finest dobro player to ever walk the earth.
One of my all time favorite performances. So pretty.
Allison has a Stradivarius voice. Nuff said.
Probably the most distinct and angelic voice I’ve ever heard!
Couldn’t agree with you more. Alison has about as pure a voice as I’ve ever heard. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her hit a bad note ever. She definitely is a fantastic talent.👍👍🇨🇦
PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!
Human creativity blows me away....individual expression is so very special....

Been a fan since her Union Station days. And her collaboration with so many and with Robert Plant! Her ballads bring tears.
You Said It Right Flawless Absolutely Beautiful
The voice of an angel in human form! This is by far the most pure voice that God has ever created in a human!
Always nice to find someone who appreciates good music.
You say "angel escaped from heaven." I think you called it correctly!!!!
She ha a huge catalog. I love Let me touch you for a while. Sooo many beautiful variations in songs. A treasure.
You are the only person who understands how to do this. You listen to the whole song without interrupting. You also do your research. And if you like Allison you have good taste in music.
Allison has such a beautiful voice. I am so happy that she has continued to sing and play traditional country music.
Yes Pj, her tone is just crazy good !! The way she has always used those breathy vibratos', the moves thru her vocal register, it truly is a gift, singers don't learn that skill, they are gifted that skill to share with the world. I am with you my friend, I'm glad this angel got out of the gate !!
sweet sweet stuff
What a quality show with quality music choices. Thank you.
What a stunningly beautiful voice, so pure!!
I’m in love with her song simple love
They were paying tribute to James Taylor who was in the audience. This is such a beautiful composition and Jerry Douglas Playing his Dobro is superb. I have listened to her since she was young.

She can make a door closing sound beautiful

This woman has the voice of an angel! One of the very best!
If anyone ever had a true angelic voice it's Allison. She can play anything with strings. She's definitely at the top of my bucket list
I've been a Huge Allison Fan since her 1st radio hit. Beautiful, Class, Traditionalist with a Twist, Great Musician and did I tell She Can Sing?? A very deep catalog of great music and she has a long way yet to go. Her Duets with other Artists is a Whose Who of Country and Bluegrass Music. Seeing her is in my bucket list.
And props to Jerry Douglas playing that Resonator/Lap Steel guitar. Wow! He is one of the best.
Alison Krause "You Say It Best When You Say Nothing At All" may be the most hauntingly beautiful love song of all time.
This is what I imagine an angel to sound like 🙂
Angelic has always been my word for describing Alison’s singing!
I'm cryin', ain't I? ❣
I have had the good fortune of seeing Alison Krauss several times; her live performances are absolutely hypnotizing!
I’m a huge fan of Alison and also of James Taylor, so of course this song is in my top 10 all time, any genre. Thanks so much for bringing it to us and sharing your thoughts.
Truly a voice from heaven. I would listen to Allison sing the ingredients on the cereal box. Cheers.
lOL
Leigh Ann rimes. On top of the world. Live at her ranch. Amazing
I feel pretty certain that when I get to heaven and finally get to hear the angels sing, they are going to sound just like Alison Krauss.
I’d love to be lullabied to sleep by her beautiful voice. Boy howdy, can you just imagine how heavenly that would be? I sure can.
Another great choice 👍 🙏
Yes I can. LOL
I have pretty much abandoned all the other reaction channels since I discovered yours!!!! Keep it up!!! Great stuff!!!
Me too!
Such an amazing talent
Ghost in this house (cover, original by Shanadoah) is a must! Her fiddle player is fantastic. I just ❤️ her!!!
Angelic Voice ....That's Alison !!! Gotta listen to " Oh Atlanta "
Also..." Baby, Now That I've Found You " !!!!! Give these two a listen...they are pure perfection 😊
I love the duet that she does with James Taylor "How's the World Treating You?". I think you might like it, they sound great together.
She has such an amazingly beautiful voice. She did a beautiful duet with James Taylor who wrote this song. That duet was How’s The World Treating You?
💚 that's my girl 💚
Let's not forget the great Jerry Douglas on the dobro.
He has quite a few awards for his instrumental prowess as well!
North Carolina was a regular stop in my hitchhiking years. This always takes me back
“Jacob’s Dream” is my favorite Alison Krauss song. It will make you weep. Look for it here on RUclips.
The movie O Brother Where Art Thou is a treasure trove of great folk songs. Alison sings “ Down In the River To Pray” in it. Another great song from it is Man Of Constant Sorrow which is performed by her Union Station band. The best version of this song is by acapella group, Home Free.

I reacted to the HOMEFREE version. Let me know what you think.

James Taylor wrote it and had a monster hit with it but I think he would wholeheartedly approve of Alison's version!!!
Funny you should say that Albert. This happens to be a galla event honoring James. As Alison and Jerry are announced and come onstage James is on his feet applauding. Approve he does.
I was going to comment that that must be what Heaven sounds like, but you beat me to it brother. Perfection. ❤️
It's always amazed me how effortless it seems for her to sing. Truly gifted with that voice and talent.
So much talent wrapped up in one little lady. You have sure brought me a lot of joy taking me back down memory lane to music that I had mostly forgotten. So glad to walk down these paths again.🥰 A heart felt Thank You.
Thank you so much!
Thank you dear 👵🏼☮️❤️🙏🏼
Thank you!
Very unique, beautiful voice!
The voice of an Angel, talk about having a gift from God, she defines it. Love her music. Thanks again.
Just love it
Beautiful !! You should listen to some of her collaborations with Robert Plant. Magical.
She could sing the phone book. Shes just has that voice. And very pretty
Thank you Dj Pj for choosing Allison.
If there is a purer female voice on the planet, I’ve never heard it. I’ve been to 6 of her concerts. Angelic to say the least. She could sing me the phone book.
I think I own everything she's ever done, and have had the great pleasure of seeing her and Union Station three times in concert. They are incredible musicians!!
And that's the great Jerry Douglas on the dobro
Allison does a beautiful duet with James Taylor. How's The World Treating You. It is considered Bluegrass/Country. I have never heard her sing this song. Such a beautiful voice, thank you P. J. !
Thank you. Pulling for you!
Thank you! Things are difficult but I believe!
Bravo.
Great with Ricky Skaggs 👌
So glad you liked her style.
Loved this. Such a beautiful voice. The arrangement and musicians complimented her wonderfully.
She has such an unique and amazing voice. Alison Krauss and Union Station are among my top 3 Blue Grass bands, along with New Grass Revival and The Dillards.
Find that concert and watch the ENTIRE THING!!!
Fabulous ❤️🔥
This led to one of my best RUclips rabbit holes. Watched this when it came out. Never heard a guitar like that.
Discovered dobro guitar and jerry douglas.
Discovered Jerry Douglas on many episodes of "Transatlantic sessions".
Discovered songs by Tim obrien (brother wind), nancy griffith, paul Brady and so many more. Great music

Love this 💕
Another one for my ❤
Union Station also sang for the Soggy Bottom Boys in Oh Brother Where Art Thou.
I always use the word “Angelic”, when describing her!
So much already been said....guess I'll just sit here and nod..........and sip my cup.
LOL
Thank you. Alison has the voice of an angel. I think you’d really enjoy “Wildfire” by Michael Martin Murphey & the Rio Grande Band. The video with 7.2 million views is the best one. Michael has such a great voice.
As an old bugger who used to baby sit James and the guys at SPAC I can tell you James would be proud of the lass.
Sir, I really enjoy your channel and your reactions. This one with Alison Krauss was beautiful.
Thank you!
Thank you for the reaction. I love Alison’s voice, it’s so peaceful. If you haven’t done so yet I highly recommend her cover of When You Say Nothing at All. Keith Whitley’s original version is also excellent.
Let’s not forget Jerry Douglas on the dobro, he’s a monster musician.
Allison could sing the phone book and I would listen. We are getting to see her this year on her tour of duets with Robert Plant of Stairway to Heaven fame.
Ever wondered what angels sound like? I believe this is as close as we can get.
Thanks for the reaction. Great song. Try some Keith Whitley, I'm no stranger to the rain, You say it best!
Is this country music? I'm a jaded New Yorker that hates country music.This video
makes me take a step back. This is a beautiful song elegantly sung by performed by a great singer and band. Maybe I like county music?

Love her music, good pick! This is definitely NOT AUTO TUNED!
NOPE!
Angelic is the right word.
Excellent review! Keep up the good work.
DANG.... I would love to sit down with you and have a drink or 12 and let you show me what I have never heard and maybe show you some things you have never heard. I love country music, but there is a lot of southern rock I think you would really like. Marshall Tucker band being one of my all time favorites.
Country Music takes me back to my grandparents farm. Up very early, eating breakfast as George Jones and many others played on the radio. Keep it up and maybe check out Marshall Tucker, Allman Brothers, Lynard Skinner and many others
We might be able to arrange something. So good of you to be here. Thank. you.
Listen to her best "River In The Rain" written by past treasure Roger Miller for his Tony Award winning Broadway musical. (won 7 Tonys.)
Wonderful. Love you and your channel🇮🇪❤️
Thank you so much!
More Allison please! But also some James Taylor, he's amazing!
Check out James Taylor , anything that he performs I especially love his cover of Steam Roller Blues , he has collaborated with Allison.
She and James Taylor did a duet of an old Country song, How’s The World Treating You. I think you would like that one
Great song, great singer. Fire lol
And moonshine is always highly recommended lol
