Alison Krauss is the epitome of an excellent performer. She has the voice of an angel, is at ease on stage and makes her audience feel a part of the concert. The fact that she and Union Station have been together for so many years is a testiment to her ability to be not only the team leader but also be a part of the team. The live performance from Louisville, KY was excellent. I recommend both the CD and the DVD for music lovers everywhere.
The first time I heard Alison's enchanting voice on the top selling CD, "Now That I Found You", she got my attention right then and there! As I've mentioned in other reviews, I am not a big fan of the Country genre. In order for my taste to accept any Country (much less Blue Grass), one quality must be present...crying in your beer, heart tuggin' lyrics. This quality abounds in this DVD offering throughout. Alison will even confess to that theme between numbers. She shows wit that seems spontaneous, even if it's not.
The show has fine production values and the 5.1 surround sound mix is just fabulous. This group of artist are VERY talented, from top to bottom. I didn't even subtract a star for a bit too much banjo. "What's the difference in a banjo and a trampoline?" "You gotta take off your shoes to jump on a trampoline"! (LOL) ;-)
This group's fan base just continues to grow and this DVD highlights much of their finest material. I'd recommend it highly to anyone.
