Description:
Over the past 15 years, Alison Krauss & Union Station have helped bluegrass grow from a regional art form to a worldwide sensation. As one of bluegrass’s premier acts, they have successfully crossed over to audiences in pop, country, and beyond while maintaining their grassroots credibility and own distinct identity that transcends fleeting fad and fashion. This has been apparent most recently in the film soundtrack projects they have worked on. Appearing on 9 songs on the sensational, blockbusting hit O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU? soundtrack, Dan Tyminski was the man behind George Clooney’s singing voice on the film’s anthem I Am A man of constant Sorrow and Alison herself sang on the haunting Down To The River To Pray. Now, finally, comes their own new masterpiece collection New Favorite, and its a gem: a set of artful, soulful songs that will appeal not only to long term fans, but also to those who discovered the band through O Brother, Where Art Thou? Continuing in the longstanding tradition of alternating Alison Krauss solo albums with Alison Krauss + Union Station collaborations, New Favorite, the follow-up to 1999's Forget About It, is a full-band effort, featuring, along with Krauss's own virtuoso fiddling and exquisitely sublime vocals, Dan Tyminski on guitar, mandolin, and two lead vocals, Ron Block on banjo, guitar and vocals, Jerry Douglas on Dobro, and Barry Bales on bass and vocals. The result is a masterful blend of voices and instruments, of styles and of souls. With 13 tracks of hard-driving bluegrass, introspective ballads, and everything in-between, New Favorite stands as the definitive Alison Krauss + Union Station album. Produced by Alison Krauss + Union Station.
