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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
I got a friend who did lots of recording at a music studio near Nashville. One of the engineers used to make fun of some of the well-known artists and their reliance on autotune or they'd sound like screeching kids. My buddy asked which artists never need autotune. He replied without hesitation: Alison Krauss. I've seen her 3 times -- twice in Nashville with Union Station and once in Chattanooga with Tony Rice and she knocked us dead every time, but she never sang this song :(
One detail many miss about Alison is that she is a fiddle player. This means her ear is extremely well developed and this does play a significant role in her ability to sing phrases of music completely in tune. I have noted this with every string player I know who also sings.
❤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. ❤
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
Alison Krauss has a voice like no other and can really play a fiddle like nobody's business. However the sensibility with which she sings and plays and makes her song choices are remarkable as well. This song and her voice are a perfect fit.
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.
There may be a few more artists out there who have done covers of James Taylor's work but, are any of them in the same league as this Alison Krauss & Jerry Douglas cover? Simply beautiful.
Nope..a fluke of nature and Alison herself who worked hard on cultivating the beauty of her voice. No imaginary characters took part in creating these vocals.
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
I love James Taylor's music and usually don't like covers. But this is off the charts. Outstanding. Take a bow. Your voice is nothing short of majestic.

as pure as music gets..

I use it in my head when I need to work out harmonies. And he sounds perfect with Alison Krauss, who is always superb.
They've been working together for years. He's an amazing musician.
Nah Tracy Chapman's voice is better , more emotion and depth. So is Liz Fraser
Kyle Winter. 100 percent true!!
Alison Krauss must have one of the purest voices in music. Simply sublime
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!
@Alison Krauss I would be the one who feels Honored. Keep bringing beauty and joy the the world Alison. Thank You
Imagine both Linda and Alison performing together...heaven!
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
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!
chapilheel I love his dobro, he plays so well!❤️
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.
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..
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
Looked like Steve Gadd beating on things in the shadows
@@digiclectic807 The Petersens are great, but it's impossible to compete with the incomparable talent of Alison Krauss.

Thank you for your service, may you get to Carolina soon.
hope you get home soon
Come home soon be safe and thank you for your service ! May God be with you !

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.
There is no more beauty than this!

I know, her voice sounds like what I imagine angels sound like when they sing..Enya same way. They sound so beautiful it's otherworldly..😇
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.

How could anyone possibly give this talent a thumbs down? Must be tone deaf!
Or they are in the auto tune business which Alison doesn’t need!
If ever I hear an angel sing, she surely has to sound like this
100%!!!!
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.
So this is what an angel singing sounds like.
Indeed and I'll take anything pleasant these days
That is what I thought* Like An Angel. Bless You , Stay Well ^ Be Safe.

Grace Bussey Amen.
Yes.
In her early days she was very shy. She's just so humble about the amazing gift that she has.
Her voice gives me chills every time I listen to it. This is one of my favorite songs and having her singing it just makes it that much better.
Her voice is fabulous x

Buchanan music was passed on to me I'm lucky and thankful for it Stories of music ! The best , now who was John Gantz?
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!

Best cover of Carolina In My Mind
This lady is so obviously one of the finest singers on Earth. Nobody does it like her.
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.
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
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.
Her voice is just beautiful.
I CAN NOT see where Anyone can find fault in this performance; they must be haters of all things beautiful!!!
The “fault” is not necessarily with the performance. It’s the audio and especially the video recording. It’s awful!
If you are listening to this at 3:00 AM You have faith in God
EXACTLY
I kinda wanted her to speed up just a tad. But I'm not hatin' on her.
Huh?
8 people need to get their hearing aids checked out! This is one of the greatest singers in the world!
You got that right!
Right on , Probably Democrats
Couldn't agree more, definitely Republicans!
those 8 people probably believe the earth is flat and women working the midnight shift gives them breast cancer............
Maybe their parents were anti vaxxers and their hearing is bad.
One of the most talented singers ever! Such a pure voice - such clarity.
Glad to see people are still listening to her songs. Voice of angels
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
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!!!!!
Union Station with Jerry Douglas, what a truly wonderful band. Alison takes us to heaven.
I sure appreciate the classy ladies whose talents do not require jumping around in skimpy attire in attempts to appease the ‘star making machinery’
Amen to that! Just think if we could get Dolly, Patsy Cline, Alison and Loretta Lynn on stage together... WHOOP! YEE HAW!
That would be awesome!
@@jeffcotton526 and Emmylou, too.
@Alison Krauss no thanks. The REAL Alison Krause wouldn't solicit online. Do you think we were born yesterday?
@Alison Krauss trying to troll some other sucker hey "Alison".You wish.
@Alison Krauss your a troll piss off.
More musical talent could not be found in one person than there is in Alison Krauss.
This lady is amazing.
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.
Alison Krauss has a voice like no other and can really play a fiddle like nobody's business. However the sensibility with which she sings and plays and makes her song choices are remarkable as well. This song and her voice are a perfect fit.
Alison Krauss is very good however Judith Durham of The Seekers also very good and there's nobody can belt out a tune like Linda Ronstadt
Goddamn...what a woman!
Holy hell...brings a grown man to tears.
I’m not religious, but spiritual. Allison’s voice was touched by the angels! Prove me wrong
My gosh what a beautiful woman. The voice, soul first of all. Yes she is very pretty.
I'm convinced Alison is an Angel from Heaven. For sure. She's a Goddess.🙏🏻❤️🤠
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you on here.
Her voice is effortless pure talent!
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.
They call me "The Carolina Rambler" and I'm headed home with this big truck. Been out here 51 years but Carolina stays in my mind.
Truckers are the unsung heroes of our supply chains. Thank you, Eagle One!
This Carolina woman hopes you made it home and Many Thanks to You!
God Bless you brother! It's a life a sacrifice. Thank you. Stay safe.
There may be a few more artists out there who have done covers of James Taylor's work but, are any of them in the same league as this Alison Krauss & Jerry Douglas cover? Simply beautiful.
I wonder if she knows how great she is? She and Karen Carpenter are the best female voices. IMHO
There's more than one person in the word with the name Alison Krauss. Just saying.
WAYA WOLF YOU ARE WRONG WRONG WRONG!! #3 Alison #2 Karen.... and #1is EVA CASSIDY THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!
@Alison Krauss hi. Saw you on youtube. Is this really you? You are amazing. Were can my wife is and I next see you in person?
What a gift from God. Thank you Lord
Amen
Nope..a fluke of nature and Alison herself who worked hard on cultivating the beauty of her voice. No imaginary characters took part in creating these vocals.
@@reddragonready You, sir, are a jerk.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!
When he wrote this song so many years ago..
sweet baby James could have never imagined it being brought back to him like this.
So beautiful
Just so pretty. Masterful.
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
Hope you doing ok now. It’s tough battle
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
I love James Taylor's music and usually don't like covers. But this is off the charts. Outstanding. Take a bow. Your voice is nothing short of majestic.
Just like an Angel!!!
Never get tired of hearing this joyous, beautiful song by JT, sung like only Ms. Krauss would sing it.
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 !
