Editorial Review: Amazon.com: After her 1999 gold release, Forget About It, Alison Krauss has found additional success as part of the soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou?--an album that's done more to advance the cause of bluegrass since Bill Monroe first conjured the music out of the hills of western Kentucky. While Forget About It showcased the more contemporary part of Krauss's musical equation and the O Brother soundtrack spotlighted the more traditional, New Favorite combines the approaches in balancing the softer sounds with the rougher-edged material. Krauss particularly shines on the soulful title tune of love gone cold, her vocal--softer than a cloud and more intimate than a midnight kiss--threatening to steal your breath away. However, it's mostly the older sounds that you'll remember from this largely somber album, one that telegraphs uncertainty, doom, and the promise of bloodshed throughout much of the repertoire. On "Momma Cried," a song about a child-snatching that tore a family asunder, Dan Tyminski's tenor vocals rise above a wailing Dobro, a driving banjo, and a thumping, anchoring bass to convey unspeakable pain. Too many of the pop-minded songs fall flat in comparison, but although this may not be the group's best effort overall, no other crossover bluegrass band begins to meet their mark either musically or emotionally, as New Favorite so amply shows. --Alanna Nash Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Proudly made in the USAAlison Krause and Union Station continue to amaze with their committment to excellent musicianship while preserving and maintaining the integrity of our country's musical roots. Alison's ability to articulate the pain of lost love without succumbing to it is unparalleled by any American artist. She has a unique and original voice and is an accomplished fiddler. Her unassuming and humble stage presence speaks to her understanding that it's all about the music, not the musicians. What a fine assemblage of talent. Rating:  - So many fans can't be all wrong!Actually, I'm not a very big Alison Krauss fan. Her voice can grate on my nerves and it's often the music, despite her voice, that I end up liking so much. But this CD has one very strong thing going for it; "Let me touch you for a while" has got to be one of the sexiest songs in who-knew-grass! It's intimate, the guitar playing is fabulous, and Krauss's voice suits it perfectly. It's worth buying the CD just to burn that song on your i-pod and support AK & US in the hopes that they produce another hit song like this one. Rating: - Do NOT pass this upI never knew I liked Bluegrass until I heard Alison Kraus and Union Station. Her voice is clear and sweet yet she can roar like a lion. The banjos and other instruments are played like they're on fire. I love this music! Rating: - AwesomeGreat mix of bluegrass banjo, fiddle, and Alison. Even my two year old loves the banjo. Very well put together. Rating: - Awesome, as they usually are!!Of course it's a great CD. If you don't know them then you should and start your collection today. |
