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 😞
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.
This woman has one of the purist voices I’ve ever heard. Alison Krauss and Union Station are definitely my favourite Bluegrass and country music groups I listen to.
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’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.
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.
The most amazing band of all time. Can we just give some appreciation to the incredible talents of Jerry Douglas? How does he play that slide instrument and still harmonize beautifully? And Allison. All of them! Thank you for bringing heaven to earth.
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.
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 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.
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’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.
That's country music coming straight from the heart. My Lady, you know how to open the hearts. And you are shining with the great Union Station. PLEASE: Keep on running, my Lady. May God bless. Chuck - the country boy - Houston
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
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
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!!!!!!
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..
Pure... best word to describe Ms. Krauss’s work... her tone, her music, her dedication, her place in the iconography... be forever blessed as each of us has been
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.
@Alison Krauss lncidentally, l was present (third row) at Massey Hall in Toronto on the occasion when the entire theatre lights began to dim and kept on dimming until the place was almost completely dark. I bet you recall that incident. You later informed the crowd that a backstage hand had unknowingly been leaning on a light switch? Unusual but kinda cool at the same time.
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.
Amazing performance by Union Station & Alison Krauss of a wonderful song. Alison has an incredible, dreamy voice and Jerry Douglas plays a great dobro!
@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 ✌
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 😞
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢💐💐💐💐🙏🙏🙏🙏
If you're watching this you're looking at an angel
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😇🥰
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 bluegrass music at its finest. :)
That absolute best singing voice backed by the the best musicians at the top of their profession. Unbelievable talent!
Perfection personified!
This is most likely the greatest group of pure musical ability to ever grace a stage.
This woman has one of the purist voices I’ve ever heard. Alison Krauss and Union Station are definitely my favourite Bluegrass and country music groups I listen to.
An angel
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.
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....
🍓❤🍓❤🍓❤😊

Living life as best you can & great music is a benefit in living your life. Yes Mam.
I could listen to her for eternity. Most beautiful voice in country music.
Timelessness
She’s a bluegrass singer but country will do also.
The most angelic, harmonious voice I have ever heard, Alison is such a beautiful, classy and gifted woman.
Probably the best singer in the world.
Rated as one of the best ever live performances by any band on planet earth, perfection personified.
The most BEAUTIFUL voice in the world.
Just never felt these guys and especially Allison gets the credit they deserve. Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful singer/beautiful woman. Flawless band.
considered an ugly duckling as a child
look at what an amazingly beautiful swan in full flight !
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.
I love how tight the band is. These guys together make a damn best sound.
I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAS NOT MORE HITS ON YOU TUBE , ALISON IS A CLASS SINGER
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
She is absolutely perfect!
Beautiful lady.... A warm comfort song, played with ruthless professional musicians.... Thank you..... All*
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.
The most amazing band of all time. Can we just give some appreciation to the incredible talents of Jerry Douglas? How does he play that slide instrument and still harmonize beautifully? And Allison. All of them! Thank you for bringing heaven to earth.

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!!!!!
My favorite female singer. Not a huge country or bluegrass fan, but her voice is simply amazing and her band is incredible.
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.
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...
AK's voice transcends musical genres. She is perfection in music.
There is just something about how her voice harmonizes with the dobro that is magical.
This woman could absolutely sing the phone book and make me cry with her beautiful voice!
She is the greatest. So real. We love her
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 bonita mujer y su voz melodiosa ,Dios hace cosas maravillosas que los seres humanos debemos agradecer
Awesome. Lady
Alison krauss has the best female voice on the planet!
My late fathers FAVORITE song , he was a woman chaser and gambler and a very smart man , the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
I could listen to her and the band for ever. So so good!
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! 👍👍😎
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!
So much talent all-in-one place
This is one of those songs you wish never ended. Bravo!
God she is incredible.
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.
A talented musical artist in the truest form.
What a voice!!!!
The best Ever strings only band I've heard in my life!! Also Alison sings like she's straight from heaven!!! 🤩
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.
Simple but beautiful music. Powerful lyrics and harmony. Alison is simply one of the best singers.
OMG!! the only thing more beautiful than this woman is her voice.
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.
Music from heaven.. The voice of an angel. This is what I imagine..
That's country music coming straight from the heart. My Lady, you know how to open the hearts. And you are shining with the great Union Station. PLEASE: Keep on running, my Lady. May God bless. Chuck - the country boy - Houston
Allison has a angel voice
I'm a Lucky One. I have seen AKUS in concert. Worth the time and the trip!
@Alison Krauss Since you came out with the song "Steel Rails". 👍
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

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!!!!!!
Thank you ,God bless
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..
Pure... best word to describe Ms. Krauss’s work... her tone, her music, her dedication, her place in the iconography... be forever blessed as each of us has been
Absolutely great! They all sound so good together.
Her voice and is a treasure.
SHE (and the band) is an international treasure !
素晴らしい演奏ですよね。
Beautiful
One of the few artist that sounds great in live or in studio
Os caras são bons, e á moça canta com a alma... Brasil.
Loved by many, hated by none. I hope and believe that this is true for Alison Krauss herself. Who could ever hate her?
Have you ever heard an angel sing ? You have now ! These guy`s are great !
If your music taste is sweet and sincere,in a country way, AK is for you. I've loved her for years.
Best base fiddle in the business.
My absolute best 😅❤ . Perfect pitch and absolutely my beautiful songbird 😮.
Smooth as butter and a baby’s head!! Such a perfect group of talent!!!! ❤️
That was such a good band. Credit to the sound guy too.
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.
She has a soft n sweet voice
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.
My bucket list includes a concert with this lady and this wonderful group.
@Alison Krauss Oh you can bet on that!!!
This memory is special to me, as are all. Would love to see all my memories perform live. Guess it's purpose enough
PS: and also credits to one of the best bands in the world Union Station...also great musicians!!! Hats off to y"all!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's a beautifully perfect song. Acoustic music at its best
I fall in love with Alison's voice all over again every time l hear it. Backed up exquisitely by Jerry Douglas and Union Station. What a treat!
@Alison Krauss Are you kidding? Of course you can.
@Alison Krauss lncidentally, l was present (third row) at Massey Hall in Toronto on the occasion when the entire theatre lights began to dim and kept on dimming until the place was almost completely dark. I bet you recall that incident. You later informed the crowd that a backstage hand had unknowingly been leaning on a light switch? Unusual but kinda cool at the same time.
Never heard a woman sing so beautiful like that.😘😍
@Alison Krauss ok
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.
The song of a Narcissist. Always the lucky one. She sings so pure and true. What a talent!
someday when i day and i'm waiting to get into heaven, alison krauss songs will be playing in the waiting room.
Yoir voice is so beautiful; gives me chills
Love Ali
Soft n sweet Country voice and pretty too! Not loud music. Good choice Cowboy!
I felt blessed when this came on the screen. Doesn't get better than this. didn't have to search to download or find.
Sheryl Weller
I listen to this song every day it keeps me on the ground
Amazing performance by Union Station & Alison Krauss of a wonderful song. Alison has an incredible, dreamy voice and Jerry Douglas plays a great dobro!
