A lot of country singers ruin their vocal chords because they are trained differently than classical musicians.

Her speaking voice is pretty nasally. I wonder what she sounded like as a kid?

Union Station is her band you see them build as Alison Krauss + Union Station not solely Union Station. Its another thing if she is modest. However her being the band leader does not take away from every individual band member. They are a great band.

Sounds Canadian, but she’s from Illinois.She’s a hoot! I love them all though. I love how Jerry is now a middle linebacker instead of the dobro player HAHAHA!

I hope they’re working on a new album. They’ve been away for too long. I would like to note one thing: Alison Krauss is adamant that Union Station is not “her” band, but that she is in fact privileged to be able to play with some a talented group of musicians. That is why collectively they are known as Alison Krauss AND Union Station.

I’m really happy to see her with her band again. I hear they are already starting on a new album. I was getting kind of scared of not hearing music from them. Liked the Robert Plant stuff but the music she produces with her band is amazing.

Sounds Canadian.

“Of course it’s true! I’m not gonna make it up at the national park!”

“She doesn’t make anything up.”

I love her so much, ohmygod.
