No flashy costumes, cars, cash, lights, etc. no overproduced, computer created sounds. Just pure, undeniable talent. Something modern music lacks entirely.
That would be soooo true if this wasn't today's music...or atleast only a decade or so ago 🤷♂️ Also, Alison Krauss is so modest & unassuming that sadly her great talents are too often overlooked 😞
There is no substitute for pure talent....musicians at the top of their game....and Alison...voice of an angel....and looks that are on par with any Hollywood movie star.
On days when there are no Dr. appointments, no 7 + loads of clothes (for 2 adults only) no work, no stress, pets are fed, watered,( fresh cold spring water) meds given to my diabetic cat, no bills to pay, bookkeeping or ordering in shop, and finally, a chance to turn volume down on cell and grab my Mac-Air laptop, set of ear buds and just relax and escape life for a while and listen to Allison Krauss and her talented, harmonizing, professional band, Union Station singing both their greatest hits, and little known/unknown songs as EVERY song they sing and play is just as heavenly as the last......I'm hoping her music is actually played in that glorious place called Heaven.....
I’m not even a huge country fan but holy crap, what can you say. Allison Krause and Union Station are absolutely incredible. Sublimely beautiful song, sang and played with heart and soul and exquisite musicianship.
I’ve seen them twice and her voice brings tears to the entire audience, it consumes and overwhelms even the emotionless. They are by far and away the most talented group anywhere in any genre.
This video shows that if you have real talent you don't need light shows, big amps and special effects. This is just pure raw talent from the combinaton of instruments and the vocal. A true lost art in the entertainment industry.
She reminds me of sade..... You got Kentucky bluegrass on one side and you got the Caribbean Queen Sade. They're a lot of like no fancy tattoos, no BS, just pure music. Alison krauss has one of the purest voices I've ever heard. It's a combination of Dolly Parton and Leanne Womack somewhere in there, but her soprano range goes even higher. Mind boggling, isn't it?...... Rounder records
I love rock & roll, R&B, blues, reggae and this is great also.. Just listening to one kind of music to me would be like eating the same meal over and over every day.. Who does that? Only someone who has no other options..
also i just listened to the studio version of this and you can hardly tell the difference, these guys are a one take band.... no engineer producer needed, perfection already obtained. Such a tight band mixed with Alison's voice is something to behold!
Reading the comment above you, I received insight into the sad lives of modern and starving musicians. We should coin a new term for people who attempt to discredit talent! We shall call them "idiots". I'd love to see someone accuse Alison of "miming" at one of her venues. She'd respond with something much more intellectual than what I could replicate.
I always thought that Emmylou's Hot Band might have been the greatest collection of musicians, or JD Crowe, but these guys are...just amazing. Wonderful.
Alison Krauss is so beautiful and never seems to age ... in fact she seems to get younger the older she gets, and the Band "Union Station" ... they are so perfectly balanced and tight, and when you combine the talent and beauty of Alison Krauss and Union Station... well ... only one thing can happen and that is ... just the BEST music your going to hear ... ever! 👍👍😎
I have listened to this song sung by Alison Krauss many times now and I would love to see her live! As so many have said already! There is no pyrotechnics, it’s just a singer and her band with their instruments.
So do I! Jerry Douglas & the band played a concert in a town near me in Colorado. The band had flown into the wrong airport - the one in my town -about 46 miles from the venue. So I got to load most of the band in the SUV & give them a ride to my town. It was so much fun. I talked to Jerry about if the Dogwood Trees were blooming yet in Nashville since I used to live in Tennessee
I have often thought of Alison as a rather quiet, maybe even passive individual, because she never blows her horn and has always remained humble. In truth Alison Krauss is one of the most powerful women in show business. She could sing the phone book and make it sound great. She could play fiddle tunes with any band or violin with any orchestra.
indeed that mrs krauss is one the female country music perfomers with a giant talent first of all nice unic voice , ear more that 100%, rhythm 100%, beauty one flower y pray to our god infinite health for this extraordinary country music perfomer!!!!!!
Just breathtaking. And not just Alison's vocal performance but also that of the band as a whole. With so many acoustic instruments occupying the same basic frequencies, it's very easy for the individual parts to merge and become indistinguishable. But the Union Station make space for each other and create such beautifully arranged parts that you hear EVERYTHING they're playing - and they complement each others' parts so perfectly. Every guitar player, whether a neophyte or an old hand, should pay careful attention to this performance and how its constructed. It's so easy to forget how to play in a band when you're a gitslinger - but these guys never forget. Stellar.
@Alison Krauss ....I live in Bingham Maine....in due time the entire world 🌎 will know my name....rather big EVENT upcoming in U.S. and World history.....POSITIVE EVENT The music is all around us, all you have to do is LISTEN 🎶 CHEERS ✌
I’m the lucky one having the privilege listening to your voice and music. Thank you for extending the ability to be in your presence. I feel truly blessed.
A beautiful performance. A song with strong lyrics, great musicianship and heartfelt singing. I find a melancholy edge can really lift a song, as it does here. There is also some very light humour here in the lyrics as well. A perfect song.
As musicians they are absolutely superb yet so sublime. And Alison’s voice is the best, she’s a song bird and a musical instrument. I’ve listen to them constantly at various points in my life on my stereo. They are in a class of one, the best
There is something just magical about when this group gets together. I hate that we have to keep hoping that tragedy keeps striking at them to inspire these kinds of songs that we all crave.
At this very minute. It’s 10:48 pm on April 20, 2024, the eve of my 86th birthday 🎉 whoda thunk I’d still be here, your welcome 🤗
Congratulations your special birthday 🎉🎉🎉.
Happy Birthday 🎉🥳🎊🎂✨
Can I come to your 87th?!…if I’m still here.
Gefeliciteerd from the Netherlands
Congratulations. The song title is yours.
No flashy costumes, cars, cash, lights, etc. no overproduced, computer created sounds. Just pure, undeniable talent. Something modern music lacks entirely.
Rings really true these days too!!!
Totally ❤ can we go back please? 😢
Beautiful in every way!
That would be soooo true if this wasn't today's music...or atleast only a decade or so ago 🤷♂️ Also, Alison Krauss is so modest & unassuming that sadly her great talents are too often overlooked 😞
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢💐💐💐💐🙏🙏🙏🙏

The Lady who teaches Angels how to sing.
well said :)
Couldn’t have said it better
indeed :)
You got it Spot on
You are right😇🥰
If you're watching this you're looking at an angel
The most angelic, harmonious voice I have ever heard, Alison is such a beautiful, classy and gifted woman.
That absolute best singing voice backed by the the best musicians at the top of their profession. Unbelievable talent!
Perfection personified!
I’m not even a huge country fan but holy crap, what can you say. Allison Krause and Union Station are absolutely incredible. Sublimely beautiful song, sang and played with heart and soul and exquisite musicianship.
It is not country it is BLUE GRASS Folk Music
❤
This is most likely the greatest group of pure musical ability to ever grace a stage.
She is the greatest. So real. We love her
Allison has a angel voice
I could listen to her for eternity. Most beautiful voice in country music.
Timelessness
She’s a bluegrass singer but country will do also.
I’ve seen them twice and her voice brings tears to the entire audience, it consumes and overwhelms even the emotionless. They are by far and away the most talented group anywhere in any genre.
Wyatt: "No smoke, no lights, no amplifiers, no big stage production; you think anybody would buy that?"
Grandma Ivy: "I would."
:)
No smoke, no lights, no amplifier...no need! Silky smoove!
Actually they need a huge stage production to hide the wings. Alison's parents were an angel and a bird.
I did!!!!!
Best base fiddle in the business.
Os caras são bons, e á moça canta com a alma... Brasil.
This is a beautiful song !!! And that beautiful voice of Alison Krauss sends shivers down my spine. Keep singing to us baby. We love you....
🍓❤🍓❤🍓❤😊
💫
verry nice
Seen her some time ago in Berlin Germany. Best concert ever seen and heard.
Juergen

The most BEAUTIFUL voice in the world.
Awesome. Lady
Thank you ,God bless
Alison krauss has the best female voice on the planet!
The voice of an angel!
exactly! i hear alison sing, i get transported to heaven. she plays the fiddle, the band plays their instruments, it's a heavenly chorus
It truly is.
She is absolutely perfect!
Beautiful singer/beautiful woman. Flawless band.
considered an ugly duckling as a child
look at what an amazingly beautiful swan in full flight !
Just never felt these guys and especially Allison gets the credit they deserve. Absolutely beautiful!
Rated as one of the best ever live performances by any band on planet earth, perfection personified.
Oh! Real music!!!
She has a soft n sweet voice
Imagine opening your mouth, and having beautiful music effortlessly come out of it. Alison doesn't have to imagine that.
Nothing good is ever effortless. She works hard and constantly to be able to sing like that.
I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAS NOT MORE HITS ON YOU TUBE , ALISON IS A CLASS SINGER
So much talent all-in-one place
This video shows that if you have real talent you don't need light shows, big amps and special effects. This is just pure raw talent from the combinaton of instruments and the vocal. A true lost art in the entertainment industry.

Beautiful lady.... A warm comfort song, played with ruthless professional musicians.... Thank you..... All*
God Loves us all he sent us Alison !!
also i just listened to the studio version of this and you can hardly tell the difference, these guys are a one take band.... no engineer producer needed, perfection already obtained. Such a tight band mixed with Alison's voice is something to behold!
You said it!

We shall call them "idiots". I'd love to see someone accuse Alison of "miming" at one of her venues. She'd respond with something much more intellectual than what I could replicate.
You are absolutely right. No diff between studio and live. Just a beautiful sound.
I always thought that Emmylou's Hot Band might have been the greatest collection of musicians, or JD Crowe, but these guys are...just amazing. Wonderful.
Charlie Davis, you gave me an idea. Here's a new twist on an old expression. Old: one hit wonders! New: one take wonders!
She has such a beautiful voice. I love to listen to Alison Krauss especially when she teams up with Union Station.
A bit huffy in person, howsoever...
A talented musical artist in the truest form.
WOW! I don't usuually like this kind of music, and I found this totally by accident. But she has the voice of an angel! I'm now her biggest fan!!!
She hasn t won 27 Grammies for nothing bro! She s one of the best!!!
Yes ❤❤❤
Shes a good bet....
I know, right? What a beautiful human Alison Krauss!
OMG!! the only thing more beautiful than this woman is her voice.
An absolutely velvet smooth voice.Not a huge fan of country music,but she is just phenomenal!
Sean Rumney I stand corrected!
I read that as cocteautwinnedbluegrass which is why I upticked it...serendipity rools ;-)
Dude this aint country. It is bluegrass.
I could listen to her and the band for ever. So so good!
This woman could absolutely sing the phone book and make me cry with her beautiful voice!
Have you ever heard an angel sing ? You have now ! These guy`s are great !
Nuttin like mountain folk ❤ Johnny From Alabama
Such a sweet voice!!
This is one of those songs you wish never ended. Bravo!
I listen to this song every day it keeps me on the ground
If your music taste is sweet and sincere,in a country way, AK is for you. I've loved her for years.
Never heard a woman sing so beautiful like that.😘😍
@Alison Krauss ok
My absolute best 😅❤ . Perfect pitch and absolutely my beautiful songbird 😮.
Oh yes I remember when you did on my Facebook page beautiful song lyrics beautiful song thanks Alison Krauss
AK's voice transcends musical genres. She is perfection in music.
Alison Krauss is so beautiful and never seems to age ... in fact she seems to get younger the older she gets, and the Band "Union Station" ... they are so perfectly balanced and tight, and when you combine the talent and beauty of Alison Krauss and Union Station... well ... only one thing can happen and that is ... just the BEST music your going to hear ... ever! 👍👍😎

My favorite female singer. Not a huge country or bluegrass fan, but her voice is simply amazing and her band is incredible.
Angels voice, music from heaven.
I love Alison Krauss and her band.
So do I! Jerry Douglas & the band played a concert in a town near me in Colorado. The band had flown into the wrong airport - the one in my town -about 46 miles from the venue.

Blessings always Alison, for with he before you, who could ever stand against you.
She may very well be my favorite singer of all time.
Loved by many, hated by none. I hope and believe that this is true for Alison Krauss herself. Who could ever hate her?
indeed that mrs krauss is one the female country music perfomers with a giant talent first of all nice unic voice , ear more that 100%, rhythm 100%, beauty one flower y pray to our god infinite health for this extraordinary country music perfomer!!!!!!
You sing like an angel Allison, and the boys are superb musicians every one.
100% agree with you.
Can't say it any better I 100% agree as well.
Listen to Barry keeping everybody straight with that bass. Cool Beans.!
Que maravilloso!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful
One of the few artist that sounds great in live or in studio
someday when i day and i'm waiting to get into heaven, alison krauss songs will be playing in the waiting room.
PS: and also credits to one of the best bands in the world Union Station...also great musicians!!! Hats off to y"all!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Music from heaven.. The voice of an angel. This is what I imagine..
Simple but beautiful music. Powerful lyrics and harmony. Alison is simply one of the best singers.
She is such a beautiful girl too. She was rather homely as a teen, then grew into a beautiful swan, and her angelic voice just adds to it all.
Just breathtaking. And not just Alison's vocal performance but also that of the band as a whole. With so many acoustic instruments occupying the same basic frequencies, it's very easy for the individual parts to merge and become indistinguishable. But the Union Station make space for each other and create such beautifully arranged parts that you hear EVERYTHING they're playing - and they complement each others' parts so perfectly.

It's so easy to forget how to play in a band when you're a gitslinger - but these guys never forget. Stellar.
ALLthe comments below are so true, what a voice and also beautiful
I'm a Lucky One. I have seen AKUS in concert. Worth the time and the trip!

A beautiful performance. A song with strong lyrics, great musicianship and heartfelt singing. I find a melancholy edge can really lift a song, as it does here. There is also some very light humour here in the lyrics as well. A perfect song.

I love this so much and she’s so beautiful.
