    A lot of country singers ruin their vocal chords because they are trained differently than classical musicians.

    Her speaking voice is pretty nasally. I wonder what she sounded like as a kid?

    Union Station is her band you see them build as Alison Krauss + Union Station not solely Union Station. Its another thing if she is modest. However her being the band leader does not take away from every individual band member. They are a great band.

    Sounds Canadian, but she’s from Illinois.She’s a hoot! I love them all though. I love how Jerry is now a middle linebacker instead of the dobro player HAHAHA!

    I hope they’re working on a new album. They’ve been away for too long. I would like to note one thing: Alison Krauss is adamant that Union Station is not “her” band, but that she is in fact privileged to be able to play with some a talented group of musicians. That is why collectively they are known as Alison Krauss AND Union Station.

    I’m really happy to see her with her band again. I hear they are already starting on a new album. I was getting kind of scared of not hearing music from them. Liked the Robert Plant stuff but the music she produces with her band is amazing.
