When do we get to see Alison Kraus on Country Music Awards Night, on Steven Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, James Corden or any excuse to see her. She is a wholesome and beautiful lady, so let's get to it people!
I have to agree with you on that one, there's something stellar about their sound here, Alison's voice was still fragile and highly emotional, and the instrumental backup is tasteful, driven but subtle, my favorite kind of bluegrass. Not that I don't love the rest of her musical career, just that the balance was pretty much perfect with these guys... It's great seeing this old footage, thanks again Bluegrasslibrary !
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome performance from my most favorite girl singer! (smiles) God bless you and her always!!! Holly in East Tennessee (a fan of her since 1994)
Their two-step music is the best there is, I think. I love it and can't sit still when they play! I wonder why Adam left. I know he liked Alison. Check him out in "New Fool"! Dan Tymanski can play guitar and mandolin too and possibly Dan's versatility and great harmonies may have led to Adam leaving, but Adam is a pleasure to hear play also.
There is no doubt that Alison idolizes Dolly and I remember Dolly saying that the first time they met Alison broke down in tears. I totally agree with jesusakuschick that Alison has grown into her own since then and from a vocal performance view has long surpassed Dolly. If there is a better bluegrass or country vocalist on planet earth, who is it?
With Tim Stafford on guitar,Adam Steffey on mandolin and Allison Brown on banjo,this is the best formation of Union Station....Of course J.D.could have done a break or two but it's o.k....!!!
In 1991 Alison Brown left the group I guess to form her band and then Ron block came in. in 1994 Tim Stafford left to form Blue Highway, Dan Tyminski came in. In 1998 Adam left to go with the Issacs and Jerry Douglas came in. Barry of course has been there the whole time.
@Edthebanjo that "girl" has won an IBMA award for banjo player of the year as well as a Grammy...so I think yes, she can play whatever she wants, especially since it was probably custom made for her. Women can play the banjo too, thank goodness, because there sure are a lot of good women pickers out there!
@ekudds I don't think I'll bother; I'm fairly sure he will be okay with it. I was simply making a light hearted joke about the extremely powerful stelling banjos and how id classify it as a deep, masculine sound. Sorry if it wasn't funny... I am a huge fan of her too, and Sierra Hull, no offensiveness was intended...
Can anyone explain why AK got different side musicians between this group, Stafford, Steffey, Brown & Bales & the current group, Union Station. Was this group w/ her also called Union Station? Thanks for the post of her older work & thanks in advance for an answer to this question.
She and her band Union Station came here in 2001 to our "Louisville palace theatre" to perform they got it a 2 set CD, I got it for my birthday years ago, it's great. I'm from Louisville Kentucky by the way.

Can you imagine being her child and getting sung to sleep every night? When I hear her voice I can't imagine angels sounding any better.
Alison Krauss phase 1. I love this version. Alison (both) are on fire.
I cry every time I hear this.

This is an oldie! Luv it!
Just saw Alison Brown in concert ... great show!
awesome bluegrass from one of the most beautiful voices.
How does this video have 10 dislikes? This is bluegrass perfection!
now.. That's PURE!
Brown was there until 1991 when Ron Block stepped in. His first album was Everytime You Say Goodbye released in 1992
Allison is superb as always but I also applaud the guitar,fiddlin,mandolin,banjo and bass. Thanks.
Alison Krauss was born 1971 and she is so cute in this video.😍
so many good things in one video
all the musicsion are amazing
Tim is a guitar monster!

She's awesome! The band too!

And what I want to know is why don't we get to see her on TV sometimes? This band sings and plays great music.
I saw her back in the early 90s. And now it's 2018....😵
Alison Brown (banjo), she is so pretty and I love her hair cut.. This song is my all time favorite..
She's got the voice of an angel...
Alison and Union Station is on my bed everyday and I to their CDs everyday on my old blue bubble CD player ✌️❤️ to y'all
Their two-step music is the best there is, I think. I love it and can't sit still when they play! I wonder why Adam left. I know he liked Alison. Check him out in "New Fool"!

Alison rocks that fiddle with the best of them.
I love that drive
Truly a great song, just needs to be longer..
I solve that by playing it twice!
Awesome banjo player...
my favorite 🙏🦋🌈🌞✌🏻💕

SON...SON.. Tim kicks this one OFF!!!!!
Anybody that can play like that can wear whatever he or she wants, no problem!
@Edthebanjo Ask Geoff Stelling if he minds that Allison Brown plays (or used to play) a Stelling! He's probably okay with it.
Steffey is a beast.
@ekudds He sure is, I spent a week being taught banjo by him, and he surely is a great player, teacher, and guy.
This is the band Alison Krauss should have now in 2010. You cant beat this sound.
Alison Brown is one picken gal the best I have ever heard.
With Tim Stafford on guitar,Adam Steffey on mandolin and Allison Brown on banjo,this is the best formation of Union Station....Of course J.D.could have done a break or two but it's o.k....!!!
Yeah this was Union Station, its been through a few member changes though
In 1991 Alison Brown left the group I guess to form her band and then Ron block came in. in 1994 Tim Stafford left to form Blue Highway, Dan Tyminski came in. In 1998 Adam left to go with the Issacs and Jerry Douglas came in. Barry of course has been there the whole time.
And this was an earlier version of Union Station.
Friggen sick pickin
Adam Steffey can play the mandolin, can't he?
There's not a slouch up there,,
yes, he can. I saw this lineup live at a quaint trattoria (coffee house setting) in NH years ago. phenomenal.
@Edthebanjo that "girl" has won an IBMA award for banjo player of the year as well as a Grammy...so I think yes, she can play whatever she wants, especially since it was probably custom made for her. Women can play the banjo too, thank goodness, because there sure are a lot of good women pickers out there!
Bluegrass girls rule!
Alison Brown is impressive on that Staghorn.
@plunky123 Yes you’re right. But the old sound is gone the one I really liked.
Adam Steffey's shirt!
@stdguage
You can if you take the 1991-1998 lineup (Ron Block and until Adam left). ^^
yes, you can.
@hannananana As far as women pickers go, check out Sierra Hull on the mandolin. If you're not familiar with her, get ready to enjoy!
Alison Krauss and Alison Brown look like they were audtioning for Timbuk 3 with those shirts
@stdguage Well, regardless who is playing with her ... she changed-up her style a bit over the years.
@ekudds I don't think I'll bother; I'm fairly sure he will be okay with it.
I was simply making a light hearted joke about the extremely powerful stelling banjos and how id classify it as a deep, masculine sound. Sorry if it wasn't funny...

@crawdad2006 How about Ron Blocks T-shirt? Looks like he's gettin' ready to cut the grass.
Can anyone explain why AK got different side musicians between this group, Stafford, Steffey, Brown & Bales & the current group, Union Station. Was this group w/ her also called Union Station?

I prefer Jeff White's intro from the album version to what Stafford plays here.
You can hear Dolly's influence on Alison.
What were you thinking with that red pok-a-dot shirt???
@Edthebanjo No offense taken Ed. As far as Stellings go, Alan Munde is the man!
Nice song. Alison is not your usual perfomer. Something about that lady???
she's amazing... though also has the eyes and stare of a blind person.
