Free Music Notes for So Long So Wrong
Free Music Review: Two Sides
Hit: 5 Stars
Generally speaking, you could say that there two sides to Alison Krauss and Union Station. The softer melodic side is usually with Alison vocally in front, and the faster bluegrass/country side which often has one of the band members on lead vocals.
Though I usually prefer the Alison songs, this two-sides concept gives a fine variation and the fast bluegrass tracks demonstrate what great musicians the Union Station are.
Among Alison's songs, which are all great, for me the beautiful pop ballad "Happiness" stand out, which also has great harmony vocals by banjoplayer Ron Block.
With at least a handful other great pop/country ballads written by various songwriters like Michael McDonald and Mark Simos this is one of my favourite albums by the group.

Hit: 5 Stars
As I've gotten older, my musical tastes have broadened considerably. I would never even have given this CD a listen when it came out five years ago. Country? No thanks. Bluegrass? You're kidding right? My loss. This is a stunning collection of songs. The 'Revolver' of the bluegrass/country genres. Another 'Classic Rock' album get booted out my top 5 of all time and it will not be missed. In fact, this is a very strong contender for the number one slot. I still have no interest in country music. And traditional bluegrass doesn't excite me much either. But Alison Krauss and Union Station have taken the best elements of foot stomping rock and roll, pop, country and bluegrass and created something new and refreshingly unique. This is an incredible CD.Free Music Review: A Complete CD

There are few pieces of music that really move me, reflect my mood. So Long, So Wrong has done just that. It has a musical flavor for everyone, to the mellow and beautiful "There is a Reason," to the mesmerisingly haunting "It Doesn't Matter," to the blazing fun of "Little Liza Jane" and "The Road Is A Lover." And do you know what the best part is? The band. Union Station has made an indelible mark on this album, and their perfection only accentuates this already great album. I was admittedly not a bluegrass fan before this album, but it was Alison Krauss and Union Station that made me one. While I have been a fan of Alison's for a while now, I can now say I am also a huge fan of the band as well.Free Music Review: Takes Bluegrass to New Heights.
Hit: 5 Stars
I've long been a fan of Alison Krauss and her band, Union Station. Their brand of contemporary bluegrass is unique and captivating. This album is their best work to date. Superb quality throughout, including the instrumentals. The title track is irresistable, and "There is a Reason" is rapturous. Impeccable musicianship and superb recording, along with Krauss's unique vocal style and virtuoso fiddle playing combine to make this CD a must-have for fans of bluegrass. In a word, masterful.Free Music Review: bluegrass without crabgrass

for a bluegrass lover, every song here strikes home. you get the soaring vocals of alison and dan tyminski, but everybody can sing, and the unsurpassable fiddle of alison and mando of adam steffey, but everybody can play. the songs range from hard-driving to soft almost enya-like melodies, and there's not a loser in the pack. and the sound quality! finally a bluegrass album that sounds as well-produced as the best selling rock or country record. how will alison and the guys ever top this?
