There is no substitute for pure talent....musicians at the top of their game....and Alison...voice of an angel....and looks that are on par with any Hollywood movie star.
No flashy costumes, cars, cash, lights, etc. no overproduced, computer created sounds. Just pure, undeniable talent. Something modern music lacks entirely.
That would be soooo true if this wasn't today's music...or atleast only a decade or so ago 🤷♂️ Also, Alison Krauss is so modest & unassuming that sadly her great talents are too often overlooked 😞
I’m not even a huge country fan but holy crap, what can you say. Allison Krause and Union Station are absolutely incredible. Sublimely beautiful song, sang and played with heart and soul and exquisite musicianship.
This woman has one of the purist voices I’ve ever heard. Alison Krauss and Union Station are definitely my favourite Bluegrass and country music groups I listen to.
On days when there are no Dr. appointments, no 7 + loads of clothes (for 2 adults only) no work, no stress, pets are fed, watered,( fresh cold spring water) meds given to my diabetic cat, no bills to pay, bookkeeping or ordering in shop, and finally, a chance to turn volume down on cell and grab my Mac-Air laptop, set of ear buds and just relax and escape life for a while and listen to Allison Krauss and her talented, harmonizing, professional band, Union Station singing both their greatest hits, and little known/unknown songs as EVERY song they sing and play is just as heavenly as the last......I'm hoping her music is actually played in that glorious place called Heaven.....
I’ve seen them twice and her voice brings tears to the entire audience, it consumes and overwhelms even the emotionless. They are by far and away the most talented group anywhere in any genre.
The most amazing band of all time. Can we just give some appreciation to the incredible talents of Jerry Douglas? How does he play that slide instrument and still harmonize beautifully? And Allison. All of them! Thank you for bringing heaven to earth.
A beautiful performance. A song with strong lyrics, great musicianship and heartfelt singing. I find a melancholy edge can really lift a song, as it does here. There is also some very light humour here in the lyrics as well. A perfect song.
Just breathtaking. And not just Alison's vocal performance but also that of the band as a whole. With so many acoustic instruments occupying the same basic frequencies, it's very easy for the individual parts to merge and become indistinguishable. But the Union Station make space for each other and create such beautifully arranged parts that you hear EVERYTHING they're playing - and they complement each others' parts so perfectly. Every guitar player, whether a neophyte or an old hand, should pay careful attention to this performance and how its constructed. It's so easy to forget how to play in a band when you're a gitslinger - but these guys never forget. Stellar.
This video shows that if you have real talent you don't need light shows, big amps and special effects. This is just pure raw talent from the combinaton of instruments and the vocal. A true lost art in the entertainment industry.
Alison Krauss is so beautiful and never seems to age ... in fact she seems to get younger the older she gets, and the Band "Union Station" ... they are so perfectly balanced and tight, and when you combine the talent and beauty of Alison Krauss and Union Station... well ... only one thing can happen and that is ... just the BEST music your going to hear ... ever! 👍👍😎
That's country music coming straight from the heart. My Lady, you know how to open the hearts. And you are shining with the great Union Station. PLEASE: Keep on running, my Lady. May God bless. Chuck - the country boy - Houston
I’m the lucky one having the privilege listening to your voice and music. Thank you for extending the ability to be in your presence. I feel truly blessed.
Pure... best word to describe Ms. Krauss’s work... her tone, her music, her dedication, her place in the iconography... be forever blessed as each of us has been
As musicians they are absolutely superb yet so sublime. And Alison’s voice is the best, she’s a song bird and a musical instrument. I’ve listen to them constantly at various points in my life on my stereo. They are in a class of one, the best
I have listened to this song sung by Alison Krauss many times now and I would love to see her live! As so many have said already! There is no pyrotechnics, it’s just a singer and her band with their instruments.
Amazing performance by Union Station & Alison Krauss of a wonderful song. Alison has an incredible, dreamy voice and Jerry Douglas plays a great dobro!
There is something just magical about when this group gets together. I hate that we have to keep hoping that tragedy keeps striking at them to inspire these kinds of songs that we all crave.
also i just listened to the studio version of this and you can hardly tell the difference, these guys are a one take band.... no engineer producer needed, perfection already obtained. Such a tight band mixed with Alison's voice is something to behold!
Reading the comment above you, I received insight into the sad lives of modern and starving musicians. We should coin a new term for people who attempt to discredit talent! We shall call them "idiots". I'd love to see someone accuse Alison of "miming" at one of her venues. She'd respond with something much more intellectual than what I could replicate.
I always thought that Emmylou's Hot Band might have been the greatest collection of musicians, or JD Crowe, but these guys are...just amazing. Wonderful.
I thoroughly enjoy this particular song; the arrangement is so richly woven with sound that there are no "sonic gaps" in it; if it were a color, the entire spectrum would be present. It's always a pleasure to experience it in every dimension!
I love rock & roll, R&B, blues, reggae and this is great also.. Just listening to one kind of music to me would be like eating the same meal over and over every day.. Who does that? Only someone who has no other options..
I have often thought of Alison as a rather quiet, maybe even passive individual, because she never blows her horn and has always remained humble. In truth Alison Krauss is one of the most powerful women in show business. She could sing the phone book and make it sound great. She could play fiddle tunes with any band or violin with any orchestra.
Dear Alison, ever since I heard your beautiful voice, I'm a fan...you're very talented/musically enclined...I hope you will continue delivering us your beautiful songs... Thanks!!! Love You!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️Love from Mick in the Netherlands❤️❤️❤️
@Alison Krauss lncidentally, l was present (third row) at Massey Hall in Toronto on the occasion when the entire theatre lights began to dim and kept on dimming until the place was almost completely dark. I bet you recall that incident. You later informed the crowd that a backstage hand had unknowingly been leaning on a light switch? Unusual but kinda cool at the same time.
Just sitting back connecting with AKus music. Nothing better than listening and feeling their talents in my heart and soul on this cold winter day. This warms my ❤.
Beautifully done love the way the instruments blend Her Voice blind so beautifully with the instruments class first class musicians love it gives me goosebumps
indeed that mrs krauss is one the female country music perfomers with a giant talent first of all nice unic voice , ear more that 100%, rhythm 100%, beauty one flower y pray to our god infinite health for this extraordinary country music perfomer!!!!!!
I absolute adore this young woman... listen to that sweetness..control of that voice... God Bless HER. .She had some health issues. May all be well.... she's all around a wonderful person...I just know it.
There is no substitute for pure talent....musicians at the top of their game....and Alison...voice of an angel....and looks that are on par with any Hollywood movie star.
No flashy costumes, cars, cash, lights, etc. no overproduced, computer created sounds. Just pure, undeniable talent. Something modern music lacks entirely.
Rings really true these days too!!!
Totally ❤ can we go back please? 😢
Beautiful in every way!
That would be soooo true if this wasn't today's music...or atleast only a decade or so ago 🤷♂️ Also, Alison Krauss is so modest & unassuming that sadly her great talents are too often overlooked 😞
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢💐💐💐💐🙏🙏🙏🙏
That absolute best singing voice backed by the the best musicians at the top of their profession. Unbelievable talent!
Perfection personified!
I’m not even a huge country fan but holy crap, what can you say. Allison Krause and Union Station are absolutely incredible. Sublimely beautiful song, sang and played with heart and soul and exquisite musicianship.
It is not country it is BLUE GRASS Folk Music
❤
This is bluegrass music at its finest. :)
This woman has one of the purist voices I’ve ever heard. Alison Krauss and Union Station are definitely my favourite Bluegrass and country music groups I listen to.
An angel
If you're watching this you're looking at an angel
This is most likely the greatest group of pure musical ability to ever grace a stage.
The most angelic, harmonious voice I have ever heard, Alison is such a beautiful, classy and gifted woman.

Beautiful lady.... A warm comfort song, played with ruthless professional musicians.... Thank you..... All*
The most BEAUTIFUL voice in the world.
The most amazing band of all time. Can we just give some appreciation to the incredible talents of Jerry Douglas? How does he play that slide instrument and still harmonize beautifully? And Allison. All of them! Thank you for bringing heaven to earth.
Rated as one of the best ever live performances by any band on planet earth, perfection personified.
The Lady who teaches Angels how to sing.
well said :)
Couldn’t have said it better
indeed :)
You got it Spot on
You are right😇🥰
Just never felt these guys and especially Allison gets the credit they deserve. Absolutely beautiful!
This is a beautiful song !!! And that beautiful voice of Alison Krauss sends shivers down my spine. Keep singing to us baby. We love you....
🍓❤🍓❤🍓❤😊
💫
verry nice
Seen her some time ago in Berlin Germany. Best concert ever seen and heard.
Juergen
Very beautiful voice ,
😢
Imagine opening your mouth, and having beautiful music effortlessly come out of it. Alison doesn't have to imagine that.
Nothing good is ever effortless. She works hard and constantly to be able to sing like that.
I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAS NOT MORE HITS ON YOU TUBE , ALISON IS A CLASS SINGER
I love how tight the band is. These guys together make a damn best sound.
She is absolutely perfect!
I could listen to her for eternity. Most beautiful voice in country music.
Timelessness
She’s a bluegrass singer but country will do also.
This woman could absolutely sing the phone book and make me cry with her beautiful voice!
Awesome. Lady
I could listen to her and the band for ever. So so good!
My favorite female singer. Not a huge country or bluegrass fan, but her voice is simply amazing and her band is incredible.
At this very minute. It’s 10:48 pm on April 20, 2024, the eve of my 86th birthday 🎉 whoda thunk I’d still be here, your welcome 🤗
Congratulations your special birthday 🎉🎉🎉.
Happy Birthday 🎉🥳🎊🎂✨
Can I come to your 87th?!…if I’m still here.
Gefeliciteerd from the Netherlands
Congratulations. The song title is yours.
Simple but beautiful music. Powerful lyrics and harmony. Alison is simply one of the best singers.
This is one of those songs you wish never ended. Bravo!
A beautiful performance. A song with strong lyrics, great musicianship and heartfelt singing. I find a melancholy edge can really lift a song, as it does here. There is also some very light humour here in the lyrics as well. A perfect song.
Beautiful singer/beautiful woman. Flawless band.
considered an ugly duckling as a child
look at what an amazingly beautiful swan in full flight !
She is the greatest. So real. We love her

She has such a beautiful voice. I love to listen to Alison Krauss especially when she teams up with Union Station.
A bit huffy in person, howsoever...
Thank you ,God bless
AK's voice transcends musical genres. She is perfection in music.
That's country music coming straight from the heart. My Lady, you know how to open the hearts. And you are shining with the great Union Station. PLEASE: Keep on running, my Lady. May God bless. Chuck - the country boy - Houston

@Alison Krauss ❤
🤠 Sounds great! I always enjoy listening to heart-felt music! 😀🎹🎤🎸
Que bonita mujer y su voz melodiosa ,Dios hace cosas maravillosas que los seres humanos debemos agradecer
So much talent all-in-one place
I have listened to this song sung by Alison Krauss many times now and I would love to see her live! As so many have said already! There is no pyrotechnics, it’s just a singer and her band with their instruments.
Smooth as butter and a baby’s head!! Such a perfect group of talent!!!! ❤️
That was so beautiful.......😇
A talented musical artist in the truest form.
You sing like an angel Allison, and the boys are superb musicians every one.
100% agree with you.
Can't say it any better I 100% agree as well.
Listen to Barry keeping everybody straight with that bass. Cool Beans.!
I'm a Lucky One. I have seen AKUS in concert. Worth the time and the trip!
@Alison Krauss Since you came out with the song "Steel Rails". 👍
Amazing performance by Union Station & Alison Krauss of a wonderful song. Alison has an incredible, dreamy voice and Jerry Douglas plays a great dobro!
Music from heaven.. The voice of an angel. This is what I imagine..
My late fathers FAVORITE song , he was a woman chaser and gambler and a very smart man , the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Beautiful
One of the few artist that sounds great in live or in studio
There is something just magical about when this group gets together. I hate that we have to keep hoping that tragedy keeps striking at them to inspire these kinds of songs that we all crave.
also i just listened to the studio version of this and you can hardly tell the difference, these guys are a one take band.... no engineer producer needed, perfection already obtained. Such a tight band mixed with Alison's voice is something to behold!

You are absolutely right. No diff between studio and live. Just a beautiful sound.
I always thought that Emmylou's Hot Band might have been the greatest collection of musicians, or JD Crowe, but these guys are...just amazing. Wonderful.
Charlie Davis, you gave me an idea. Here's a new twist on an old expression. Old: one hit wonders! New: one take wonders!
An absolutely velvet smooth voice.Not a huge fan of country music,but she is just phenomenal!
Sean Rumney I stand corrected!
I read that as cocteautwinnedbluegrass which is why I upticked it...serendipity rools ;-)
Dude this aint country. It is bluegrass.
Absolutely great! They all sound so good together.
Her voice and is a treasure.
SHE (and the band) is an international treasure !
The voice of an angel!
exactly! i hear alison sing, i get transported to heaven. she plays the fiddle, the band plays their instruments, it's a heavenly chorus
It truly is.
I thoroughly enjoy this particular song; the arrangement is so richly woven with sound that there are no "sonic gaps" in it; if it were a color, the entire spectrum would be present. It's always a pleasure to experience it in every dimension!
Love these guys!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is such a beautiful girl too. She was rather homely as a teen, then grew into a beautiful swan, and her angelic voice just adds to it all.
I love rock & roll, R&B, blues, reggae and this is great also.. Just listening to one kind of music to me would be like eating the same meal over and over every day.. Who does that? Only someone who has no other options..
Allison has a angel voice
I have often thought of Alison as a rather quiet, maybe even passive individual, because she never blows her horn and has always remained humble.
In truth Alison Krauss is one of the most powerful women in show business. She could sing the phone book and make it sound great. She could play fiddle tunes with any band or violin with any orchestra.
Best base fiddle in the business.
My absolute best 😅❤ . Perfect pitch and absolutely my beautiful songbird 😮.
Dear Alison, ever since I heard your beautiful voice, I'm a fan...you're very talented/musically enclined...I hope you will continue delivering us your beautiful songs... Thanks!!! Love You!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️Love from Mick in the Netherlands❤️❤️❤️
The song of a Narcissist. Always the lucky one. She sings so pure and true. What a talent!
Thank you for this song!!!
Loved by many, hated by none. I hope and believe that this is true for Alison Krauss herself. Who could ever hate her?
You say it best. my favorite song !
I fall in love with Alison's voice all over again every time l hear it. Backed up exquisitely by Jerry Douglas and Union Station. What a treat!
@Alison Krauss Are you kidding? Of course you can.
@Alison Krauss lncidentally, l was present (third row) at Massey Hall in Toronto on the occasion when the entire theatre lights began to dim and kept on dimming until the place was almost completely dark. I bet you recall that incident. You later informed the crowd that a backstage hand had unknowingly been leaning on a light switch? Unusual but kinda cool at the same time.
PS: and also credits to one of the best bands in the world Union Station...also great musicians!!! Hats off to y"all!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
WOW! I don't usuually like this kind of music, and I found this totally by accident. But she has the voice of an angel! I'm now her biggest fan!!!
She hasn t won 27 Grammies for nothing bro! She s one of the best!!!
Yes ❤❤❤
Shes a good bet....
I know, right? What a beautiful human Alison Krauss!
More than any other quality, I admire her for her down to. Earth Attitude. We pray that she is blessed with a long n healthy life
It's a beautifully perfect song. Acoustic music at its best
Oh yes I remember when you did on my Facebook page beautiful song lyrics beautiful song thanks Alison Krauss
Have you ever heard an angel sing ? You have now ! These guy`s are great !
God she is incredible.
Just sitting back connecting with AKus music. Nothing better than listening and feeling their talents in my heart and soul on this cold winter day. This warms my ❤.
If your music taste is sweet and sincere,in a country way, AK is for you. I've loved her for years.
Blessings always Alison, for with he before you, who could ever stand against you.
Wyatt: "No smoke, no lights, no amplifiers, no big stage production; you think anybody would buy that?"
Grandma Ivy: "I would."
:)
No smoke, no lights, no amplifier...no need! Silky smoove!
Actually they need a huge stage production to hide the wings. Alison's parents were an angel and a bird.
I did!!!!!
So beautiful many thanks
Her voice is so big but so beautiful, yet heads would look up to see if it was really a miracle. Angel voice!!
Oh my that is absolutely beautiful
Beautifully done love the way the instruments blend Her Voice blind so beautifully with the instruments class first class musicians love it gives me goosebumps
indeed that mrs krauss is one the female country music perfomers with a giant talent first of all nice unic voice , ear more that 100%, rhythm 100%, beauty one flower y pray to our god infinite health for this extraordinary country music perfomer!!!!!!
OMG!! the only thing more beautiful than this woman is her voice.
A gorgeous song that I never get tired of. Brilliant band.
I felt blessed when this came on the screen. Doesn't get better than this. didn't have to search to download or find.

Alison krauss has the best female voice on the planet!
I listen to this song every day it keeps me on the ground
Never heard a woman sing so beautiful like that.😘😍
