Free Music Notes for Now That I've Found You: Collection
Free Music Review: Simply beautiful!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not sure how this woman would be classified... I guess it's generally country music, with a hint of bluegrass. But in certain songs, I also detected some gospel influence. Note that I have NEVER been a country music lover. My taste in music is very wide - West African, Brazilian, Greek, electronica, soul/funk, classic rock. I saw Alison performing on public TV a few weeks ago, and was just blown away - so much so that I went out to buy the CD.Almost every track is wonderful in its own right. Alison's voice is so beautiful, but I think it's the combination of all the talents on this CD that makes it so wonderful. The song-writing is excellent, and the banjo pickin' is also.
I'm so glad to have discovered her, and to now have this CD in my collection.
Free Music Review: A PRECIOUS FIND
Hit: 5 Stars
This was my first introduction to Bluegrass music but I suspect this is a sophisticated style of the genre, not the raw high wailing sound that I subsequently discovered. In fact, much of it could easily fit into categories like "adult contemporary" or "easy listening" -- the track "Broadway" for example, is a pure pop song. I love the Dolly Parton like "Teardrops Will Kiss The Morning Dew," and the gospely "In The Palm Of Your Hand." But my top favourite is the wonderful, dreamy story of "I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby," with its unexpected twist in the tale and its lilting, hypnotic rhythm. This is one of those rare albums with no real dud tracks.Free Music Review: A City Boy Gone Country
Hit: 5 Stars
I must admit this CD was in my shopping cart for quite a while given its genre. I finally make the plunge when I needed it for free shipping and the first time I played it, I couldn't believe the beautiful purity and fullness of her voice.
The music is very interesting also since it is obviuosly country, but these are real talented musicians and the arrangements are incredibly performed and make a country band really kick-[...] in a cross over jazzy sense in a couple of tunes where you'd never guess this is a band that plays bluegrass.
It's worth every one of those stars and one more if they had it.
By the way, I found out that the ladies like this CD very much.
Free Music Review: A gorgeous album
Hit: 5 Stars
This was the very first cd that we bought when we first got a cd player back in 1995. I loved it then and love it today. It remains a firm favourite. As well as some of her best songs culled from previous albums, this album includes 3 previously unreleased songs. A great mix of country and bluegrass, this is the best from Alison Krauss, along with Union Station, and the Cox Family, from 1987 to 1994. The booklet includes some cute photos of Alison and her brother as children, but unfortunately, no lyrics. But it does have a 2 page newspaper article from 1994 which is interesting. If you only get one Alison Krauss album, then this is the one you need. Highly recommended.Free Music Review: Royal Class Music!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you like country, calm melodic or acoustic music, this CD won't disappoint you. Great performances, both vocally as well as instrumentally. Really nice songs, great instrumental solos on acoustic guitar ("Oh Atlanta"), dobro, banjo and great double bass ("When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart"), and of course world-class fiddle solos by Alison herself. If you appreciate quiet, thoughtful, sophisticated acoustic music, this CD will bring chills to your spine. Without doubt, I will listen to it for the rest of my life. It's worth much more than 5 stars, but that's all I can give. Eltjo Haselhoff.
