My wife Lora had an aneurysm rupture , June 2020. Now paralyzed and cognitively impaired. We went to Myrtle Beach every year with the kids and now it can't ever happen again. Our wedding song is 'When You Say Nothing At All' by Alison Krouse. We saw her live in Wilkes Barre on our 20th anniversary. This is the most bittersweet thing to hear. I'm a wreck. My wife is not physically gone but I still miss her enormously She will never recover. If you are married don't take your spouse for granted.

Of course, James Taylor is writing about his institutionalization. I've been there, pieces of me fallen by the wayside, but it returns, piece by piece.
Now we all know Alison Krauss has the finest and most dignified voice on the planet, but can we all please tip our hat to Jerry Douglas for that wonderful accompaniment work. That is a bread and butter pair if I have ever heard one.
@Kyle Winter - Jerry Douglas would become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, if it weren't for the fact that he's a live human being full of these wonders. And his voice is magnificent, as well. I use it in my head when I need to work out harmonies. And he sounds perfect with Alison Krauss, who is always superb.
I remember the first time I heard Alison's voice, I was in like a half sleep and thought an Angel was singing to me. Turns out I was right so I am sure we will hear Alison singing to us in heaven.
@@colleenposadas8415 He’s the one playing slide guitar. As soon as I heard his first note, I recognized him. Indeed he is a national treasure along with Ms. Krauss.
@@yerwot2937 Yes, of course you are correct that it’s a Dobro brand resonator guitar and, as usual, he is playing it with a slide/steel. Sometimes Jerry also plays lap steel to a similar effect and, as always, with superlative skill. He is a national treasure.
I love this James Taylor song. He wrote it when his father after a phone call for help drove all the way to New York to bring James home so he could deal with his drug addiction. Everytime I hear this song I am reminded that a father's love is the most precious thing. If not the world might have lost one of the best troubadours of our time. I love this version. Alison Krauss has one of the most gorgeous crystal clear voices ever.
Thank you for writing of the love of fathers. Much has been written about the love of mothers, but a father's love is deep and powerful, too. It is unique, individual and devoted in ways that are difficult to put into words. A father may be a person of few words, but his connection to his children is often more precious than his own life. Fathers are often misunderstood because they are not often as open about their love for their children as are mothers. Perhaps that is a common fault,.but this story about James Taylor's father speaks volumes about the connection of love he felt with his son.
@@GermanProudlyshe’s full of crap. That probably didn’t even happen. He wrote the song while being homesick, from England, while recording with the Beatles.
I love James Taylor, but this is the purest and most heartfelt rendition of this song I have ever heard. Alison puts meaning into every word of every phrase. The music is alive with a palpable heartbeat.
Alison’s voice is obviously off the charts, but Jerry deserves great credit for the beautiful dobro and harmony and James Taylor deserves a little credit, too ❤️❤️
Jerry Douglas is an absolutely astounding dobro player!! I barely knew what the instrument was before I discovered Alison Krauss! I love both Alison and Jerry!
Thanks bro. It’s because of your work that I can sleep peacefully with the confidence that where I live, and the people I love, will still be there when I wake.
@@peterbaskind9872 in fact all of union station memers are indidually topd among their peers...and its fun to watch them enjoy each others company on stage...live in loiusville, is wonderful to watch.
Exactly what I’ve been saying for years. Alison’s voice is the literal definition of God-given. He sent her to earth with the voice of an angel. She could sing the ABC’s and it would still bring tears to my eyes.
If no angels upon entering the gates of heaven sound like Miss Krauss, i will go to Hades and await her arrival or equal before the attempt to enter again.
Holy crap! How can this lady sing like this? She has worked over every phrase and nuance to utter perfection, an upwelling of the spirit that takes us to the closest thing to heaven. Such talent. Some years ago I liked her singing but only lately I've come back and found that she has perfected her art to a spiritual level. Makes me glad that You Tube is here for us to find those things we've lost.
Alison Krauss has been my favorite female singer forever and Jerry Douglas is the best dobro player in the world. Until tonight, I'd never heard him sing, and boy can he sing! Their voices complement each other beautifully!
My wife and I met her and the band while we were staying at the Radisson Hotel in Branson MO and we had lunch with them. Such a lady and the boys were also great. We came all the way from Australia to see her and band and went to the show that night and it was just awesome. The musicianship that night left me speechless. A superlative show!
Such a resonant, sweet, and delicate voice. Alison does James Taylor's song great justice....I can't imagine any more elegant rendition. Thank you, Alison.
@@billdarden9680 - No, it's not. It's James Taylor. He wrote it in 1968, while staying in an apartment in Spain. He was homesick for his childhood home of North Carolina.
I was going to write that anybody with guts enough to sing with Robert Plant is all right with me. After seeing this gem, I think I got that backward. Anybody brave enough to sing with Alison Krauss is ok in my book. Her rendering here is exquisite.
@ImNotMad ButUR : Thank you so much for the kind words. What happened in this performance is extraordinarily rare. The artist as mountain climber, one who not only summits Everest but brings you along to appreciate the view.
@alisonprvt1 I think I must be in heaven where the angels sing....but if not, I'm close by here in east Tennessee. You really made me happy today, thank you so much, and God bless you..only angels can hold a halo next to you ❤️
@alisonprvt1 no I am not, but I will be praying for you and your crew to be safe in your travels. Someone must have been praying for me, that I am sure of. May Messiah be in your heart always.
@alisonprvt1 I asked my son, the lawyer, about the felony of identity theft, he said Dad, it is common and needs to be proscueted...take down your subscription immediately or I will take the actions neccassry to have you taken into custody...one never knows who they are dealing with.
Im a metal head and i can hardly listen to a single note she sings without shedding tears. Just an amazing voice, and backed up by great musicians. Im certain that James Taylor smiles when he hears this!
ray sullivan boy she's good. The edge of country. Kinda Towards bluegrass eh. Emmy Lou Harris is sure good More straight up country And sorta folk Love that
Check out AKUS - Alison Krauss and Union Station. What a superb band. Jerry Douglas, Dan Timinsky, Sam Bush. She has the purest voice - sometimes heart-breakingly beautiful. And soundtrack for O Brother, Where Art Thou?
As beautiful as Alison's singing is, the talent she surrounded herself with and her selfless support of upcoming artists make her stand out above any other performer I know of. Jerry is just one of example of the former. Sierra Hull is a great example of the latter.
Mum had dementia. Allison's music made her smile right up until the end. Six months gone now and today is the first time I have been able to listen to this. God, I miss mum so much but I thank God for allowing me to know her. X
I lost my Mum a few years ago and there were a few tunes I couldnt listen too ... I do now .. some I cry at some I laugh with ... and yes I thank god or whoever that I had her in my life...xxx
One summer. I was 16 years old I did THIS for two concerts back to back. One Saturday went and saw HER at the Ravinia pavilion - had a good time. six days later saw James Taylor and he STARTED with this song.
I bought one of Alison's CD"s and I woke my daughter super early and went for an early morning, Mommy Daughter Day, and we both sang every song as loud as we could. Had a To-go breakfast and lunch while talked and listened to Allison's CD. One of our Together Memories. Still makes my heart feel good and cry because my daughter "Elizabeth" is grown and we can't do it again, she is making memories with her own kids now.
❤She’s the greatest I’ve ever heard in my entire life, ALLISON KRAUSE is a beautiful angel❤and I live right on Morgan creek, off of old lystra, James, if you’re reading, you know I’m by your bridge. ❤
I can literally never hear Jerry Douglas play without being joyously happy. And can we just take a moment to shout out to Alison Krauss's chops as a fiddler too? There's a whole lot of "songstresses," particularly in country, who never pick up an instrument again once they make it as a vocalist. Alison just gets better and better as a singer and an instrumentalist. This is one of my favourite James Taylor songs and I've fallen in love with it all over again.
@@letinhsong8024 I did hear James Taylor sing this song while at the Saratoga Springs performing arts center (SPAC) NY and it was good but I do think Alison's version here is better. Now, nobody could or even should try to cover 'Fire and Rain' because that is just too personal a song and means so much to himself.
I'm from Canada but went through the Carolinas, on motorcyle, a number of years ago. Cannot listen to this tune without pangs of absolute longing......Beautiful.....
Man.....that is some kinda perfect voice. Wow. I always loved this song by James Taylor - but her voice takes this thing to an entirely different level. Just beautiful.
This is one of my absolute, all-time, closest to my heart, favourite recordings and rendition of this gorgeous song. Although it was recorded 13 years ago, I just keep coming back to it. Absolute perfection.
Alison, my father just adored you. You made him so proud. His name was Danne Buchanan, and his best friend was John Gantz. Thank you for your beautiful music which I have passed down to my kids. I was lucky to grow-up as the daughter of a bluegrass picker. Your music reminds me of that gift. Bless you, dear Alison.
about paint drying. There is an innate emotion in all of us, that is....when you see beauty, you recognize it...we are listening and watching a "beautiful" soul shinning through this woman's body.....Feb. 2020

@alisonprvt1 Wow. If this is really Alison Krouse, thank you so much for responding.
So sorry for the misspelling.
I envy your love….
The simplest response is just to acknowledge that she has no equal. Amazing..
True
Alison Krauss must have one of the purest voices in music. Simply sublime
Like sun-warmed honey, so sweet
I agree 1:49
I agree.
Pure, honest and genuine. Like a warm hug when you return home.
Sublime is the perfect word, ethereal
My Wife is suffering from mental illness. This is helping me cope and stay. Ugh. Please pray for us.
Of course, James Taylor is writing about his institutionalization. I've been there, pieces of me fallen by the wayside, but it returns, piece by piece.
Praying for her, you and your whole family. Love heals. 🙏

Nah Tracy Chapman's voice is better , more emotion and depth. So is Liz Fraser
Kyle Winter. 100 percent true!!
I have never in my life heard such a perfect voice.
angelic......
karen carpenter and alison krauss have the best voices
Alison Krauss, Rosanne Cash and Linda Ronstadt voices are crystal clear
AN ANGEL VOICE.
No gimmicks or fancy dance moves ............Just pure talent.
and from a true lady that doesnt look like a whore
If Alison Krauss isn't singing in heaven, I ain't going.
Fair enough☺️
If Alison ain't in heaven, I just assume stay home.
Where Alison is singing is heaven
I remember the first time I heard Alison's voice, I was in like a half sleep and thought an Angel was singing to me. Turns out I was right so I am sure we will hear Alison singing to us in heaven.
AMEN BUT SHE WILL W.THAT VOI E OF AN ANGEL
The world's better because James Taylor wrote the song, and Allison interpreted it so beautifully.
@Alison Krauss Come to Tulsa soon!
Amen to that
WOW!!!
She's incapable of non-beauty even if she tried.
Carole King wrote the song
What a beauty..
My Dad's family helped settle North Carolina, and many still live there. My grandmother would have loved this song.
The combination of dobro, country fiddle, Alison Krauss, AND James Taylor has no equal. The perfect tonic for these rocky times.
Jerry Douglas on dobro - such finesse!!
This rendition is so much better: th-cam.com/video/0yKeMIOhXjo/w-d-xo.html

@@digiclectic807 The Petersens are great, but it's impossible to compete with the incomparable talent of Alison Krauss.
The perfect tonic for these times. LOVE IT!
One of the true pleasures in life is to listen to a good song sung well. Just like the voice of a loved one, it stays with us for eternity!
How could anyone possibly give this talent a thumbs down? Must be tone deaf!

Brings tears to my eyes and I’m sure James Taylor sheds a rear or two when he hears it. I grew up in NC.
Love James, but this is pretty sweet. Wow!
The fiddle too dont forget that.
Beautifully said
My sentiments...I feel like I am floating when I listen to her sing this song...So soothing.
While Linda Ronstadt blows you away with her power, Alison Krauss does it with her whispers. Both ethereal artists
Very well spoken!
Yeah, but
Nailed it!

Rarely has a dobro been put to such good use.
Not just the dobro, either -- his harmonizing vocals compliment nicely while letting Kraus be the star.
Don’t forget the contributions from the Beatles that helped James with a line or two when he was writing the song while playing with them in London.
Her voice brings out tears in my eyes and Jerry Douglas. Marvellous. Love them

six days later saw James Taylor and he STARTED with this song.
Alison gives me goose bumps every time I hear her sing! ❤
Alison is a treasure as is Jerry Douglas and Mr Taylor's perfect song! Yeehaw🇨🇱
@Alison Krauss I bought a dvd of Oh Brother, where art thou recently. I suspect that was useful to your fabulous career!
God bless you Alison!
@Alison Krauss I would love to get your personal info Alison!
My email is itchiray@gmail.com
She is the the Woman we wait for to bring us back to real music. Love her
@Hello Robert how are you doing
Can't you just listen to this everyday, such a beautiful voice and she carries her like a lady should.
I try to. Beautiful. Just beautiful. You can lay back, take a deep breath, close your eyes and your whole body relaxes.
She's country and bluegrass and the voice and the face of an angel
I bought one of Alison's CD"s and I woke my daughter super early and went for an early morning, Mommy Daughter Day, and we both sang every song as loud as we could. Had a To-go breakfast and lunch while talked and listened to Allison's CD. One of our Together Memories. Still makes my heart feel good and cry because my daughter "Elizabeth" is grown and we can't do it again, she is making memories with her own kids now.
❤She’s the greatest I’ve ever heard in my entire life, ALLISON KRAUSE is a beautiful angel❤and I live right on Morgan creek, off of old lystra, James, if you’re reading, you know I’m by your bridge. ❤
It is like her voice gently detaches your soul and takes it in for a general cleaning and refurbishment then gently puts it back with a kiss of love.
Well said !
R u a song writer?
I think u r !
Beautiful !
jeddyhi ...such a beautiful description of her voice. Thank you.
Poetic words
Beautiful description
Where did you come up with this? God could only put this voice in one person. Anyone who disagrees has no soul
My neighbors used to hate this song but i promise you they knew every word
Always felt this song in my heart. In Australia
PMSL you cant please everyone Scott lol
Glorious
Pure and sweet soulful voice. Thank you God for sending her to us.
I can literally never hear Jerry Douglas play without being joyously happy. And can we just take a moment to shout out to Alison Krauss's chops as a fiddler too? There's a whole lot of "songstresses," particularly in country, who never pick up an instrument again once they make it as a vocalist. Alison just gets better and better as a singer and an instrumentalist. This is one of my favourite James Taylor songs and I've fallen in love with it all over again.
Alison Krauss's voice is a national treasure.
sweet
One of the most talented singers ever! Such a pure voice - such clarity.
The gentleness of her handling of that phrase "whisper something soft and kind"--whew!
Allison's voice is so clear and pure, I could listen to her for hours!! Love her fiddle playing as well.
like this 100 times better with JT singing it.
@@letinhsong8024 I did hear James Taylor sing this song while at the Saratoga Springs performing arts center (SPAC) NY and it was good but I do think Alison's version here is better. Now, nobody could or even should try to cover 'Fire and Rain' because that is just too personal a song and means so much to himself.
And... God bless James Taylor
For writing this touching ballad.
Listening to that beautiful steal guitar slide through a mesmerizing James Taylor melody followed by the voice of an angel. Simply heaven.
I’m in tears thinking of the love of my life who was taken from me on Easter Sunday 2017 from cancer 😭😭😭
The only person who can sing this better than James Taylor. This is lovely
Know body beats james lol
My gosh what a beautiful woman. The voice, soul first of all. Yes she is very pretty.
Only the Angel Allison Krause can cover a classic from a legendary singer songwriter like sweet baby James.
And deliver at his level of excellence
She sings like an angel!
She is an angel.
And I'm her guardian Angel!
💡
SHE SURE DOES..GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME!!!!
Those of us that are fans won't be surprised when we get to Heaven and Allison is standing at the Pearly Gates welcoming everyone
As a North Carolina native every time I hear this song pride wells up in my heart.
Does anyone else feel their heart swell at the beautifulness?
Pure magic. Alison's gentle voice, Jerry's dobro.
I'm from Canada but went through the Carolinas, on motorcyle, a number of years ago. Cannot listen to this tune without pangs of absolute longing......Beautiful.....
Her voice is just beautiful.
Never get tired of hearing this joyous, beautiful song by JT, sung like only Ms. Krauss would sing it.
Man.....that is some kinda perfect voice. Wow. I always loved this song by James Taylor - but her voice takes this thing to an entirely different level. Just beautiful.
Alison K. In my mind singing
This is one of my absolute, all-time, closest to my heart, favourite recordings and rendition of this gorgeous song. Although it was recorded 13 years ago, I just keep coming back to it. Absolute perfection.
Good music is like a fine wine it will only improve and mellow with the passing of time, just enjoy.
Jerry Douglas always does an incredible job to back up Allison Krause in whatever she sings with that incredible pure voice she has …. Great musicians
How rare to hear an all-time great song and think that the cover is as good or even better.
Simply gorgeous!
Exactly my thinking when I first saw this piece....
@@peternewman1179
ME 2 !!!
Agree!!!!!
Beautifully sung by the great Allison Krauss and with Jerry Douglass...just beautiful!
One more time, Alison brings her beautiful voice to a classic song...what a gift she is.
@Alison Krauss I feel like I just hit The Lottery! Consider my okay, an OKAY!
Alison has the most beautiful voice ever, I've seen her over 100 time's with so much talent surrounding her, always a class act and always growing !
@alisonprvt1 I am from Spooner Wisconsin
A voice of pure gold! Just wish wouldn't get my face all wet. Anyone who has been truly in love knows exactly what these words are about.
Alison, my father just adored you. You made him so proud. His name was Danne Buchanan, and his best friend was John Gantz. Thank you for your beautiful music which I have passed down to my kids. I was lucky to grow-up as the daughter of a bluegrass picker. Your music reminds me of that gift. Bless you, dear Alison.
Mine too. The best gift.
Buchanan music was passed on to me I'm lucky and thankful for it Stories of music ! The best , now who was John Gantz?
She could sing about paint drying and it would be beautiful. Dolly Parton said that about Alison.
I agree.
So do I.
Beautiful voice
So true.
whh01 and the paint ingredients. She is perfection.
about paint drying. There is an innate emotion in all of us, that is....when you see beauty, you recognize it...we are listening and watching a "beautiful" soul shinning through this woman's body.....Feb. 2020
