  • this is my song to my fiance who is in prison, i love you bran. im holdin it down for you. there is a way to make you stay darling dont turn away.

  • A seriously talented young woman.

  • I would pay to watch Allison sing the alphabet. Once in a lifetime voice of an Angel.

  • @Gary2940 Exactly the way I described her voice the first time I saw her. Back then she had a mop of black, very curly hair. She opened her mouth, and suddenly she changed into that angel! You described her perfectly.

  • That was a gift from God. Wow.

  • Her voice gives me chills

  • Pure angelic sound....

  • Now I know what angels sound like

  • i am totally in love with this song

    xx

  • Im in love :)

  • without notice she sings perfectly no effect no pushing

    divine

  • She might ask you to stay......away

  • Oh...what I would give for Alison to ask me to "stay".

  • que voz dios mio que vooooooooooooooooz

  • Relaxing :D

  • what a voice what a woman what a group

  • A violin has both cat gut strings and steel strings. The G, D, and A strings are cat gut and the E string is steel. A fiddle is just a an old slang term for the violin.

  • @wabi5abi; No, the difference is a violin has cat gut strings, a fiddle has metal strings.

  • a truly astonishing performance...

  • Every musician on the stage is fantastic, yes, Alison has the voice of an angel but she has great backup.

  • @taylornomad coincido contigo

  • Every musician on the stage is fantastic

  • she just puts me on a cloud...

  • it must be the 90th time i have played this song and i still cannot believe how incredibly pure her voice is, completely out of this world

  • This is such an incredible music group! Jerry Douglass's solo is just as beautiful as Alison's amazing voice.

  • why won't she come to belgium!

  • nice song, too much make-up on the male musicians

  • this is what it sounds like when the angels sing

  • One of my top favorite Allison K. and U. Station songs. The blending of their instruments and voices in this one, particularly Jerry Douglas' Dobro, are incredible. Hard to beat!

  • Just a great voice...spine tingling good...and what a great band...love that slide....

  • i remember when she used to play at bluegrass in Winfield, KS great times

  • An incredible talent and impressive beauty, with remarkable character and moral fiber. She (and Union Station deserves credit here, too) wasn't afraid to sing of her faith on national TV BEFORE she gained mainstream popularity. And none of that seems to have changed when she did gain fame, thank God.

  • rhianna,beyonce,lady gaga put to shame,you need elaborate stage set ups 20 backing singers and as much costume changes to make it ,she doesnt need that.you wouldnt have the guts to do what she just did.

  • the difference between a violin and a fiddle is that one has strings and the other has straings.

  • @wabi5abi Also nobody gets mad at you for spilling beer on a Fiddle.

  • Nothing like playing with a big ol' dip in! haha

  • alison krauss has one of the most beautiful voices in the world. union station are amazing instrumentalists. you get what you hear, its good wheter it be on the radio, a cd, or live. This is TRUE talent and true BEAUTY.

  • My God, she has such a lovely voice. Thank you Father for her and the gifts you've given her and thus to us as well. Union Station... combination of mega talents. Wow! Just takes me away.

  • Saw them last nite in Omaha.........simply stunning.

  • I haven't heard the voice of an angel... but the singer has the voice of an angel.

  • Alison...please marry me and have my child!

  • she is one of the most talented singers. She doesn't need a synthesizer and or voice software to make it sound amazing!

  • Alison and Union Station are the perfect musical team. Love the sound, exquisitly soothing

  • Look at Jerry Douglas smile in the background. Who wouldn't, standing behind a voice like that and playing in such a great group.

  • amazing 

  • that was recorded Live? .....best voice ever! .....

  • I'll stay!! I'll stay!!  With that voice I'd jump the grand canyon.

  • Hard to believe Alison Krauss used to be just a cute little fiddle player with enormous talent! Then she grew up and got this great voice to go with her fiddle playing!

  • she has such a smooth and soothing voice.

  • Baby now that I ve found you, you are a great gift to the world of music.

  • Perfection everytime she opens her mouth....Allison is amazing.

  • @TALAfan11 what a wonderful way of describing PoP tells me this same thing all the time too LOLOL

  • @TALAfan11 i 'know' giggles stone cold trip lllllllooollllllll

  • Everyone is saying great things about Alison, as they should. Do not forget how good Ron Block, Dan Tyminski, Barry Bales and especially Jerry Douglas are. ALL the musicians on that stage rightly command great respect.

  • another hypnotic beautiful transcendant performance

  • Just goes to show how false the music business is. Here is a truly gifted singer. Beautiful as well. Conservative. XXXXX wrong. You got to be what they want you to be.

  • my girl friend left me last night but i am not sad as i have found this beautiful lady..can't stop listening to her voice

  • ALITHANKS4LOVINJESUSAMEN.

  • Stunnigly beautiful.

  • Someone said eariler that Alison is an "American Treasure"

    I think that statement confines her. She's an "Earthly Treasure"

  • this lady has everything, for anyone,,

  • I don't think you can put more talent on one stage... Just breathtaking.

  • it's a fiddle on Saturday night and a violin on Sunday mornin such a short transformation in short hours

  • l just cant stop listening to this lovely voice,,its a very special one,,

  • Again simply stunning.

  • Way to go our lil central Illinois pride and joy!!!!

  • @robynhylton Love your comment I was born and rised in Champaign-Urbana she is a jewel from our town:):)

  • nice...i prefer quicker stuff but it is good

  • simply stunning .

  • @thewetcrows246 is on Alison Krause Live

  • does anyone if this is on itunes?? i can't find it!! but i love it! my favorite Alison Krauss song!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What a sweet slice of the pie of life.Absolutley incredible and it is always better live.

    You lucky dogs. Thanks Adrian05m for this wonderful post. I have a whole favorite playlist just for Allison . Union Station you make her look great as if she needs help you guys are too smooth! What a class act.

  • Beautiful voice!!

  • Some day I'll get to play the drums for her, lol

  • Dan Tyminski is SUCH a hunk! And great mandolin player and singer!

  • What the hell 10 dislikes! Or is 10 Dis (this) I Like.

  • i remember when i was like 7 and in love with this cd, but especially this song. i memorized every word and i havent heard thissong since then...i just pressed play & i still know every word :)

  • Unrivaled beauty!

  • What an absolutely beautiful gorgeous chick,with a beautiful voice.

  • Absolutely Beautiful in Voice and Face!!!

  • imo she's just as sexy as her voice ;)

  • way too much talent - they are amazing. 

  • Oh God, I love the way she sings at intro.

  • Her music soothes the soul

  • Allison has one of the most honest and true voices in music of any era. She is so very tallented on so many different levels. Few performers ever reach the full potential as she has.

  • I wish they wouldn't have sped up the song though. She's great but even she needs to have a chance to breath in between some of the words. I hate it when bands do this. Shame on this band for speeding it up. Maybe they all decided to speed up the tempo but I doubt it.

  • I love this song.. 

  • I saw her and Union Station in Columbus Ohio a few years ago...All I can say is Awesome!!!!

  • i remember watching this with my dad in jr. high :)

  • Tolle Musiker, bitte mehr davon

  • Alison is an angelic vocalist...with amazing and moving talent surrounded by equally amazing backups... a blessed experience.

  • what a voice...shes wonnderful

  • The most talented group of musicians to come along in a long time, each one a virtuoso in their own right. I'm a huge admirer of Jerry Douglas,His Transatlantic sessions have brought American and Celtic performers back to the roots of Bluegrass.

  • she is probobly the second best person i wanna see at Bonnaroo other then Primus... she is sooooo talented. her voice is like an angels!

  • It's refreshing to see such excellent musicianship and tasteful arrangement in a country group...Union Station is really a collection of top notch performers.

  • 8 people have thier heads up thier own asses !

  • I read comments on You Tube regarding songs and singers, saying "He or she is good, but not as good as x, y or z". Isn't the song, the singer about what it conveys to the listener that matters? We all have differing tastes when it comes to music, and a song perfrmed by one person may not appeal as much as when sung by another. I think the voice of Alison is a truly moving experience, and has an ethereal, almost haunting quality about it. Let's agree at times to differ, and enjoy these gifts!

  • @vectra868 Wow! Agree totally!

  • @vectra868 To bloody right.

  • @vectra868 well said!

  • @vectra868 Vectra---I agree 100%--- sounds like something I might say. I love reading posts, positive as yours is, by fans who truly admire and enjoy what GREAT artists like Alison do.

  • pra silang old version nh da corrs..hehe

  • Allison makes my heart skip a beat! Voice of an angel.

  • truly wonderful !!

  • Dolly Parton said that Alison Krauss could sing about paint drying and it would be beautiful. She's as close to an angel as you can get without dying.

  • thanks vy much

  • The difference between a violin and a fiddle is that nobody gets mad if you spill beer on a fiddle.

  • @erbfu hehehe...good one

  • @erbfu and how u play it LOL

  • @erbfu A violin has strings, a fiddle has "strangs"! :p

  • @erbfuyour way off buddy your saying people who play bluegrass are drunk rednecks

  • @62BOWTIE

    Wow, i'm not sure how you got that out of what I said.

  • @erbfu well because i would be mad if someone poured beer on my fiddle, or my 48 d28. a real bluegrass musician cares for their instruments.

  • @62BOWTIE I agree, but that was kinda funny.lol

  • @erbfu Thats the best definition I have ever heard....lollll

  • my aunt wld hav loved to b there! i hav to get her to a show!!

  • yes..there r ppl that wld get mad if u spilled beer or anything else on a fiddle!!!

  • A wonderful song and a wonderful voice

    I ♥ that song

  • I'm convinced this is the sound of an angel here on earth. Amazing.

  • Alison could sing the dictionary and make it sound magical. An amazing talent.

  • I don't know what you guys mean about her age so much talk shame shame! Just look at her she is cute and lovely, just like a girl and I think in her child bearing years she is young woman, such a pretty woman blessing for any lucky man with her. Amber you are sweet to say nice things too. Wonderful voice and soul shining. This is what a woman of culture and quality is supposed to sound like. Strong. Clear. Feminine. Kind and Joyful. The Greatest.

  • This could make me cry... actually it does :)

  • U wont find a more pure voice in the world than allison kraus :)

  • nothing to prove - just perfect music in all modesty

    Thanks a lot you guys

  • Alison must know that if she were to actually smile at an audience member, they would be vaporized. I don't know how Ron Block stood there, I would've been liquified on the spot. And to have to perform with Alison, was a mess, as I would constantly be melted on the stage.

    I get a huge sense of 'I'm not worthy'.

  • Stunning.. just stunning.. what an amazing voice Alison has, note perfect, and the guys in Union Station are absolutely brilliant!! I "discovered" AKUS in 97, and their music has had a profound effect on my life.. I often dream of a road trip in the US, with their music as a soundtrack.. what could be better? I really, REALLY wish they would do a tour in Europe as im sure they have a massive fan base here too.. or maybe I just have to make that trip after all.. :)

  • I am Uncle Eric ;)

  • what a voice . . . . . and shes hot.

  • Love it !!!

  • she's not old, geez

  • thats called makin music...

  • So which one of these guys is she married to?

  • She doesn't even look like she is trying to sing. Her sound is effortless.

  • @gerhard321

    oh. sorry. ^_^

    i thought.

  • an angel.. in disguise.. =)

  • There are not enough beautiful adjectives in this world to describe the person and voice of Alison Krauss. She is graceful, elegant, soulful and angelic. Union Station and Alison Krauss embody the beauty and earthiness of blue grass music.

  • @caymanhope Agreed - She, The Band and their music are a delight to listen too. I've missed out on blue grass and country for many years and artists like this just are just a pleasure to listen too.

  • allison is as angelic as ever... and i wish i was as amazing as jerry douglas, man those lines he plays could fit any kind of song, there that good!!!

  • Alison is right up there with George Strait, in a category of their own...

  • She`s knocking me out evrey time I sse her on the screen and hear her heavenly voice...

  • shes an absolute angel!! voice,band,and appearance!! shes wonderful!! theres not enough words to express wat she brings to my heart!!! shes wonderful!! takes me to a whole other place in time, mind, and heart!!

  • shes an absolute angel!! voice,band,and appearance!!

  • So beautiful. So goddamn beautiful.

  • Gods own singer

  • I'm spanish, I've just heard Alison for the first time, and I'm amazed!!

  • The voice of an Angle.

  • for many years (over 12) the woman who raised me, that is my mothe,r (my aunt), always said that if she ever heard an angels voice that alison krauss was it!! no comparison!! she is a christian woman tho i am not..i always agreed with her!! the voice of an angel!! no one else compares!!!! alison krauss holds her own candle!

  • @twsimon2001 What kind of angle? An obtuse angle? :)

  • @twsimon2001 Actually, it must be "acute" angle... lol.

  • i love this song so much it reminds me of the days travelling across the australian outback with my folks big part of my childhood

  • Alison makes me dizzy... : )

  • I could listen to her over and over again.

  • Pure class. Have become an AKUS fan over the past 6 months and keep coming back to this video as the best. Alison's beautiful voice, perfect harmonies, and an instrumental segment where she plays put this one over the top for me. Compelling and emotional lyrics performed flawlessly. Perhaps I am niave but it seems these folks have great respect and admiration for each other. It's a treat experiencing those who are the best at what they do.

  • Aaaaah it´s good to be alive

  • her album with robert plant winning those grammys was incredible...this group of musicians and her together is magic....

  • mmm looks like 8 justin bieber fans listened to this song.

  • Beautiful song from a great band.

  • @Festizzle

    You've never seen her BUTT? Ha ha ha! that's a good one. Well, I know it's just a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes

  • I don't care that she's an old singer! Even if I'm a adolescent girl, I still adore her songs! She's very talented. She can play piano, she can play guitar and even violin! Wow, she's the most talented singer I've ever known. Thumbs up if you agree!!!!!

  • @Amber24122 .. I totally disagree. She sin't old.. apart from that?? yeah..she's awesome :-)

  • @Amber24122 I'm glad you've discovered the angel. Turns out that Allison was an award winning fiddler before any of us had ever heard of her.

  • @Amber24122 I am not sure even those of us who are long time fans realize the level of elegant class she has brought to "country" bluegrass inspired music. It is not just a "song" with her and her band, it is an American eclectic aesthetic, polite, kind, a bit mystical, the "feel" of what we want from a classy modern south...and a classy dignified nation. It is THE sound of our age, or at least the sound of what we long for from this age, this place and time.

  • @Amber24122 Lol old? Honey, she's not even forty yet.

  • @Amber24122  I agree with you totally !

  • @Amber24122 old?? she's not even 40!! since when was that old????

  • @TheLisafar101 No kidding i guess I 'm old...damn!!!

  • @Amber24122 Hi Amber, I agree with you regarding Ms. Krause. Since you may not have listened to Emmylou Harris I would point you in that direction. Listen to Emmylou's songs like "Leaving Louisiana.." and some others. Allison is my favorite but Emmylou can steal a few hearts too..

  • @alphashed

    Ok, thanks!

  • @Amber24122 Remember that she doesn't play "Violin"...she plays fiddle. :-) Even though many will tell you there is no difference in the sound or the instrument itself, there is...the bridge! I am so going to encourage you to follow your dreams, age is just a number, so honestly you can do anything you want too in this life! God Blessings upon you has you choose how you will live your life!

  • @standsure09

    what's a fiddle? ^_^

    have no idea!

  • @Amber24122 She is very talented, but I can't say she's the most talented singer I've ever known. Wang Lee Hom can speak more languages than most multilinguists, and can play a lot of instruments (more than her)
