Back in the day AKUS would play at this theatre at Univ. of Hartford. Unmiked. No PA at all. Amazing!
How lucky were we? 

 
Old girlfriend of mine went to UHA......I went to a different school slightly south of there, but they were always known for their ability to attract great talent to the area. Plus radio KUHA. Won tickets to a Humble Pie concert at the Shaboo Inne. Sunday night, and 60 people there. I had my beer on the stage, and they played a great show.

This set is making think of Merlefest this past weekend. Tedeschi Drucks Band killed it Saturday night!

As with all of her songs, her voice converts what would otherwise be an average song to a mesmerizing launch into an ethereal & existential experience.

Her voice is to music like James Stewart's acting was to a movie.  In neither case, was their gift wasted.

We're the lucky ones hearing this sweet bird sing.  Initially gave it an 8 but I'm kicking it up a notch.

This was one of the songs I downloaded for my ex when he was in ICU. He really was The Lucky One.

Funny banter on this album.... from crowd:  Alison I love you... from somewhere else in crowd:  I love you more....  from band:  This aint a race....

After watching her on PBS last night, I was wondering when I'd hear her on RP - made my day {#Sunny}

I saw her live at the Portland Zoo amphitheater about 10 years ago.  A wonderful show.

According to my ex-girlfriend (our first date was an AKUS concert), this is a dark and painful lyric. Guess it depends on which side of the equation you're found. I find it wistful and evocative of the wanderer's life.

Well, we'll be two then.
I like when she sings with Robert Plant: their voices complete each other's.
I guess it must be nice in a live performance.

I saw Alison and Robert Plant at the NOLA Jazz Fest a year ago.  It was literally AMAZING!  Although she has some kinda strange otherworldly gaze that is a little disturbing.

I love Alison Krauss. No, seriously, I LOVE her. I have a huge crush on this woman. Besides an incredible voice, sincere humility, and amazing musicianship, she knows how to pick an ensemble of peers better than anyone in the acoustic space.

I'm not sure what you mean... 

Do you hate The Dead?  Or Alison Krauss?  I don't hate either really... but I give props to The Dead WAY before I would heap praises on AK&US.

I find this much much better than the stuff she did with Plant.  I don't know why but those recordings are not appealing to me.

Why is it that when you mix this woman's talent with Robert Plant the music sounds like shyte?
Traveling Wilbury syndrome?
Seriously, I'm not one for country but she has the voice of an angel!
