Alison Krauss Honors

Old news or not it's worth posting.

Alison Krauss and Union stations 48th Annual Grammy Awards -

Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal for "Restless"
Best Country Instrumental Performance for "Unionhouse Branch" (written by AKUS member Jerry Douglas)
Best Country Album for Lonely Runs Both Ways

She's now 7th on the all time Grammy winners list. She also outdid any other female artist or country performer with the three awards from this year.

I think that the band is taken for granted my most music listeners. I think that they let the "fun" of drinkin, cheatin, pathetic sounding mainstream and in these parts "Texas country" music get in the way of stopping to hear what this particular band is doing. It's so intricate and the harmonies so perfect that it's hard for an untuned ear to hear what is going on. If you ever get the chance to pick up a ticket, you'll want to go back for more. I'm glad the Grammy Committee recognizes this group for one of the greatest acoustic groups who has ever existed.
