Alison Krauss is a beautiful singer and I love when her and Union Station get together and make another unforgettable album - such as this one.
I love this album so much because I feel that a lot of these songs tell about her life and my favorite song is Wouldn't Be So Bad - though all of the songs on this album are amazing! Anyway, do not listen to the bad reviews - buy this and you'll thank me! This to me is just another wonderful Alison-packed adventure and you will love it!!!!!!!! This is worth the money!!!! GOOD JOB, ALISON! AND YOU TOO, UNION STATION!!! |

| This body of work is another example of the great talents of Alison Krause and Union Station. The harmonies are absolutely beautiful. The songs seem to range from old blue grass to contemporary. Their Picking is out of this world, and is well displayed in the song "Union House Branch". This C D is a good buy whether you are a long time follower Or a first time buyer of AKUS music. |

| I like this combination and I like her voice. No wonder she's a multiGrammie winner, her style will never get old. There's both sadness and joy in her repertoire. One of my favorite tunes (not on this album) is Whiskey Lullaby. She has a long career ahead and I'll continue to buy her albums.Forget About ItWashington Square Serenade [Ltd Ed CD/DVD Combo featuring 35 minute documentary and 3 acoustic performances]No Quarter: Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Unledded |

| I love this record, and I love the fact that Alison and the guys know where there talent lies. They never pretend to be something they're not. Any record of theirs is going to be your favorite. There is not a song on this record that I don't like. If you like this one, try their new one "A Hundred Miles or More". Same goes for that one. Very few singers in my experience are as good as Alison, so if you want to listen to music at it's purist, this is the record for you. |

"The sheer delight of Alison Krauss and band" | 2007-07-01 |

| I keep referring to "that goddess" when I hear her come on the radio or one of her tracks comes on my computer. My colleagues are used to me gushing about her. I say, I first fell in love with this diva as I discovered her in "O Brother, where art thou" and then again in "Cold Mountain". I was terribly hooked and several albums later I am a devoted fan of her and her band. They cannot do wrong, each album is full of fun, superb artistry on several instruments, incredibly good harmonies. What can I tell you? She is at the top of her genre and her contributions to those soundtracks shows a depth she can call on that certify her as a true gem. What a great talent and another great album. |

| I love practically everything they do. Allison and Union Station. I love Bluegrass. Always have and always will. I have all of their CDs except for the newest one released this year. Soon I'll have it. I have a brand new favorite male singer. (Right up there with Don Gibson.) That would be Dan Tyminski. I just love the way he "pushes" those words out. After I found out that wasn't George singing in O Brother, I searched and searched for the song not even realizing it was on a CD I already had. Don't know how I missed it unless I was on the phone or something. I now play it over and over. There are lots and lots in these CDs that I absolutely can't get enough of. I play them all over and over. |

| AKUS has been the premier bluegrass act...forever. However they were off my radar since they played BLUEGRASS. I am a rocker. Then I clicked on Urge to catch and listen and I was hooked. This is Bluegrass? Alison's ethereal voice and her bands phenomenal playing have made me a convert. (ps. the singer from the Coen brothers' movie "O brother where art thou" is in this band) |

| This offering from AKUS again displays an incredible combination of expert musicianship and flawless vocals. Excellent deep and moody production on, "If I Didn't Know Any Better". The distinctive sound of Jerry Douglas's dobro sometimes begins to overwhelm the mix and distract from the vocal songs, but shines masterfully on instrumentals like, "Unionhouse Branch". |
