So Long So Wrong
Date undefinedAbsolutely fantastic CD. Her delivery of a song and her wide range of vocals are just about impossible to beat. She is incredible and sings like an angel.
So Long So Wrong
Date undefined Please see my review about the 3LP box set of the live concert for my very positive feedback about the Mobile Fidelity Gain2 system and how it brings out new dimensions in Alison's voice. The same feelings apply here but I also have a couple of criticisms which need mentioning. First I have to fault Mobile Fidelity for choosing this album to bring out along side the live recording. While I agree that this is one of AKUS best albums musically, the fidelity of the original studio recording is VASTLY inferior to her most recent two albums "LONELY RUNS BOTH WAYS"
and especially the most recent "100 MILES or MORE. I don't mean to be too much of an "audiophile snob" (as my girlfriend calls me). It seems to me that the issue of spending $40-65 dollars on these products when the same music can be had on a used disc for 5 dollars (or 50 cents in someones yard sell) is an issue for us audiophile snobs-an issue of format and vinyl vs. digital comparison. The live album is about as good a recording as concert hall recordings get but still nothing like a top notch studio recording. Neither of these LP's show the full potential what this system could really due for Alison's voice which would probably be beyond Hubble telescope range with 100 MILES or MORE-as good a studio recording as it gets. As much as I am cherishing these LP's and consider them worthy of the title of the reviews-I can't help moping a little about that. The problems I mentioned with recording level in the other review are even more severe here. There seems to also be excessive fade between the soft and loud parts of the song on "DEEPER THAN CRYING' one of my favorites-in particular.Maybe they were working out the bugs on this new mastering system.

Date undefinedAlison Krause has the voice of an angel but for some reason this CD has not rang true since I first received it over 8 years ago. I can not put a finger on it but outside of the title track I continually skip through the songs. I got it out last week after listening to New Favorite to give it another try and same results. Most people seem to love it but I just do not care for the album and would never recommend it. I rated it 3 stars and not lower because it is Alison Krause and Union Station otherwise I probably would have rated it 2 stars.
