Everything they play live sounds better to me than the studio versions, true mastery of their craft. Sierra as a youngin' playing with world class musicians just like she owns the place.
Look how Alison smiles over Sierra's playing. I love Alison's heart. Not long ago Alison stood on stage as a young gifted girl and now she gives back whenever she can.
They Are Both Amazing... Got To Meet Sierra & Her Brother When They Performed With The Isaac's In Jamestown Tn... Got Their Autographs & Lots Of Pictures... They Sure Do Have A Bright Future Ahead of them.... May God Continue To Bless Them...
this is what i love about Allison Krauss, she sounds the same if not better live than she does on all her albums. there arent a whole lot of bands and singers that i can say that about. and that sierra hull is amazing with a mandolin!!! I am going to pick up one of her CD's the next chance i get.

Damn, sixth grade. That's it. I'm hanging up my mandolin and letting the real talent like Sierra Hull, Sarah Jarosz and Chris Thile do the instrument justice. Wow. And Alison always sounds like an angel.
What a great song. Sierra did it justice. Alison could play it alone on her fiddle and I would still come and pay to listen.......all of these folks here are remarkable musician's. Superstar's as individual's..........enjoy it for what it is. You want perfect.....give Jesus Christ a Mandolin and let Him play, then you'll hear perfect......
You need to understand the meaning of being 'overly critical'. Like gesikah14, I think young Ms. Hull made a small mistake at the end of her introduction. That's a small blemish in a wonderful, uplifting performance--to see that is not being 'overly critical'. You don't have to worship a performer to greatly admire her.
I love Sierra's face at 0:47, one itty bitty wrong pick, and she gives a face of disgust. So articulate, where did they find her, she has a bright future... :)
Yes! At the end of the introduction, she gives that 'I'm so disgusted with myself' look after making the mistake. The mark of the perfectionist. Hopefully she doesn't take everything so seriously, or she'll suffer needlessly.
@Alison42595 Ohhh no :) I was not trying to be a critic. I think she is amazing. I was stating mostly, that at her age, to have such an ear, and to hear what she is playing, and recognize it. You can not say that about too many young child musicians. It was more of a compliment than anything.
some of you may not believe this but i have jamed w/ sierra once or twice. I play the bass and my dad plays the banjo. My dad and my uncle knows the guy the guy that taught her to play guitar. for those of you who like larry sparks my uncle jeff brown has used to play bass with larry and still sings tenor with him now and then.
Sierra is 17 now and is just as amazing on guitar as she is on mandolin and is becoming a good vocalist. She has the potential to be the next Alison, but she has to lose the cheesey bluegrass band of kids that she plays with and crossover to make it big.
The true sign of genius is making something difficult seem easy & that's Allison's voice to a tee. She has no peer!
And as for Sierra Hull, who I'd never heard of until 2 minutes ago, I don't know whether to admire her adorable beauty or her amazing talent for any age, so I'll just appreciate BOTH! She's got a brilliant future if Allison plays with her.
I've loved Allison for years & now I love Sierra! You go girls!!
Here we have a team of two in total sync...one's a human, the other an instrument, yet the sound comes as one and it's a glorious experience. Marvelously done.
I always thought the same thing.....her recordings are heavenly no doubt....but the fact that she is flawlessly AMAZING live....is just an unbelievable fact.....:))
Heard Alison live at night in Ct a couple summers ago. When she opened her mouth to sing it just blasted off the Hills of western Ct and seemed to float forever. i can still hear it. absolutely heavenly. Sierra's voice isn't as big but just as angelic. I told her she was " a gift from god" and meant it. She lowers my stress level.
I hope you checked out "cluck old hen" played after this one. instrumental that showcases Sierra & each musician. watched Sierra play live 4 times this summer. WOW
Wow, Perfect live, The connection with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss open a door for those who dont listen to either Blue Grass or Rock`n Roll, Music is music, Ok this is not Plant and Krauss but via Plant i discover i found my way to this eminent music that past my way, i took my time and now i love it
Allison you have been one of my favorites for years. I am now 35 and remember listening to you when i was in high school and I still love your songs.......
She's now about 18 and is an amazing guitarist/mandolin player. Check out her version of Roanoke on Youtube from a few years ago- she has faster fingers than Van Halen, Stevie Ray, whoever...simply amazing!

This guy did a daredevil cliffhanger and risked his life for this girl! The Vid starts off slow but by the end I was crying my eyes out.
Hes using the pop of his vid to HELP FIGHT CANCER!
Oh My, what can you say? That kid can play that mandolin, and isn't Alison an angel on that fiddle? If there is one thing The good ole USA can be proud of, it's bluegrass and ain't nothin' in the world nowhere like it! PICK IT! Osama BL and the Saudis can kiss our oil-swilling a**es, we got BLUEGRASS.
@bmarlin611 It' because of jerks like you that bluegrass, tremendous music that it is, gets branded as being for bigots and hicks- like you. the music is marvelous, and that young girl is brilliant. You're a moron.
I like both AKUS and Sierra. I'm glad to know there's a kid who loves to play the Bluegrass. I llke the way that AKUS giving a chance to a new shining star to play on the stage. That's great!!!
Sierra Hull's performance is remarkable, not only because that intro is EXTREMELY difficult, but because in bluegrass music the mandolin player is the equivalent of a drummer. She shouldered a tremendous responsibility in terms of holding the whole groove together.
Alison Krauss' voice is nothing short of amazing ... so pure, flawless. And Sierra Hull also is incredible. I'm quite jealous of their talent, but I'm sure a lot of work went into it as well.
Anyone know how Alison and Union Station met this amazing girl? If only I could even slightly play an instrument! She is amazing! All of these musicians are amazing and so is their music! Long live AKUS (or is it AKAUS? Someone correct me, please!))
Allison should have hired Sierra immediately. If anyone is equal to the task of playing with the world's finest bluegrass band, Sierra could do it very well! IMHO
I do not know if Miss Hull will ever read this, but listen to how she totally enhanced and widened the tonal spectrum of the song during the second verse. That is class with a capital C!! She is the finest mandolin player I have heard to date. Remarkable!
Just too amazing! True American music on many instruments invented here. Rock can take a back seat for awhile. I must play bluegrass, the most articulate of all guitar playing. Anyone know where this band hails from?
Alison is from Champaigne IL, Dan Tyminski is from West Rutland VT, Jerry Douglas is from Warren OH, Ron Block is from Torrence CA, Barry Bales is from Kingsport TN
And that dobro player.....he's AMAZING!! I will never understand how they can smilke when singing such such songs , mostly about a failure of the human heart and spirit? I wish I played in Union Station....gthat would be a prayer well answered to sit in with Alison Krauss & Co. There has rarely been such a grand compilation of human genes, as in the wonderous and indefatigable Alison Krauss! What a voice!!!!!!!???!!!! Great!
In Sandy Ego it's near impossible to get folk to practice in a rock band, let the alone find the time to articulate bluegrass. BG just looks easy. It is actually extremely "picky", as they say. Even a short song takes many hours of practice, and then there's no extra Allison Krauss' to sing? Many musicians, only one AK. Say, that's also Alaska! Now that makes some sense...last frontier, last singer, and both the best.
"Picky" indeed. I've been trying to teach myself dobro for a couple of years and never seem to have enough time to make much progress :-( Oh well, it's still fun to just pick around with.
"last frontier, last singer, and both the best. "
Well I don't much about Alaska, but Alison Krauss is definately the best at her game!
Say, U 2! (great weekend). Keep practicing! It's those bluegrass notes...the special one's...no, not the A's and B's....it's those crazy K's and S's!!??!!
HAHAHAHA You're quite the punster, as well as very perceptive. You win! Many people think my name is "kay", when in fact it's a nonsense username derived from my original nonsense username kkkssskkkssskkksss. Too many people accused me of being a racist/nazi, so I changed it.
Dobro, eh? Very, very cool. That Jerry Douglas sure can bend those "holler" notes around? Just watch him and play along. I play along with AK & US all the time. It's fun. Almost like playing with them if you squint yer eyes. Alison sure is a blessing. The more I listen the more I like. These guys are REALLY GOOD!!
"Just watch him and play along. I play along with AK & US all the time."
I'm not that good yet. I haven't even mastered the basics. Things in life like remodeling a whole damn farmstead tend to get in the way of musical hobbies.
Music is love. Love is sharing. Music is to be shared by all those still with a heart big enough to share. Remember, life is very short, but you must pause to smell the rose and watch the sun rise. Without that, there is no life. There is time for work, and a time for play. You must find balance. Music is not a hobby, it is love. Would you stop loving your dog because you are remodeling the farm? Har, avast there, turn about before you hit the rocks! You may be going the wrong way?
All good advice my friend. We still take time for things that are most important, top of the list is spoiling the dogs, cats, horses, and even the wild birds. In fact, our current most pressing remodeling project is to re-skin the barn, while we live in a 100 year old home desperately in need of updates. It's a tough balance and as such, music has had to take the back seat for a little while. We're doing a shock attack on the remodeling so that then we can enjoy the rest of our days .
Well, landsakes...that old barn "skin" is highly prized by Beigelander industrialists and money lenders north of the Mason-Dixon. Maybe even sell the old wood on Ebay? Or, contact remodelers and let them know how many board feet you have. That old hand sawn wood is used to great extent for inside paneling out in the Hamptons and in Beverly Hills. You should be able to sell it, buy new wood and have money left over for a new Gibson F4 mandolin! I
Actually, the old siding is too deteriorated to save. Otherwise, we would paint it. Too much neglect from previous owners. So, we're going with a steel product that is nearly indistiguishable from lapped siding from more than 50' away. Then, similar stuff on the roof. Best part is it still looks like an old barn. Also, if you take the old stuff off it ruins the character of the interior. Weird folks us, who worry about the character of their barn!
Bluegrass is really amazing! All the players are playing this happy melody, beautiful Alisson smiling and melodic.....and the message of the songs heart rending and grievious. It's all like an American business deal, all flowers and "save big", but you pay through the nose. Bluegrass is just too cool, and Krauss is the best ever!~
wow, for a 6th grader, sierra has a hell of alot of talent. how many kids her age gets a chance to jam with a national caliber band like allison krauss? this kid is going places.
She's 15 now..her birthday is in a few days so I guess she's 16? not sure on that one..she may only be 14 now but yea. That opening on the mando was the highlight of the whole song for me.
I've always enjoyed AKUS, but that young girl amazes me with her talent- I shouldn't be suprised, Allison Krause came out with the first album at quite a young age as well.
Allison just gets better and better and better and BETTER as time goes by. I cannot get enough of the sweetest voice in music today. That beauty(Allison) could melt the very gates of Mordor with those tones! I sure wish I was in the band, Union Station! Now that would be the ultimate answered prayer!
I have known Alison since she was 14 yrs old. We played music all night until the sun came up. At the end, all I could say is "Wow, this kid is going to be somebody." Go see her in concert. I've been so many times I can't count. The hair on the back of your neck will stand straight. The group is so polished & professional. These are folks that love what they do.
What a talented child! Wow. I mean you come to expect genius from Gerry, Dan, Alison and the rest but for a child to be SO talented at SUCH a young age? Wow. Does anyone know what she's doing now since this video seems a few years old?
I saw this live, greatest show on earth,,... EXCELLENT

Oh My, what can you say? That kid can play that mandolin, and isn't Alison an angel on that fiddle? If there is one thing The good ole USA can be proud of, it's bluegrass and ain't nothin' in the world nowhere like it! PICK IT! Osama BL and the Saudis can kiss our oil-swilling a**es, we got BLUEGRASS.

@bmarlin611 It' because of jerks like you that bluegrass, tremendous music that it is, gets branded as being for bigots and hicks- like you. the music is marvelous, and that young girl is brilliant. You're a moron.

Sierra Hull's performance is remarkable, not only because that intro is EXTREMELY difficult, but because in bluegrass music the mandolin player is the equivalent of a drummer. She shouldered a tremendous responsibility in terms of holding the whole groove together.

Anyone know how Alison and Union Station met this amazing girl? If only I could even slightly play an instrument! She is amazing! All of these musicians are amazing and so is their music! Long live AKUS (or is it AKAUS? Someone correct me, please!))

Allison should have hired Sierra immediately. If anyone is equal to the task of playing with the world's finest bluegrass band, Sierra could do it very well! IMHO
Johndoe191919 4 years ago
I do not know if Miss Hull will ever read this, but listen to how she totally enhanced and widened the tonal spectrum of the song during the second verse. That is class with a capital C!! She is the finest mandolin player I have heard to date. Remarkable!

And that dobro player.....he's AMAZING!! I will never understand how they can smilke when singing such such songs , mostly about a failure of the human heart and spirit? I wish I played in Union Station....gthat would be a prayer well answered to sit in with Alison Krauss & Co. There has rarely been such a grand compilation of human genes, as in the wonderous and indefatigable Alison Krauss! What a voice!!!!!!!???!!!! Great!
Johndoe191919 4 years ago
"And that dobro player.....he's AMAZING!! "
Well, it is Jerry Douglas afterall.
"how they can smilke when singing such such songs , ...I wish I played in Union Station....gthat would be a prayer well answered"
Maybe that's why they're smiling!
"indefatigable"
Now that my friend, is a rarely, but very aptly used term.
kaysandesses 4 years ago
In Sandy Ego it's near impossible to get folk to practice in a rock band, let the alone find the time to articulate bluegrass. BG just looks easy. It is actually extremely "picky", as they say. Even a short song takes many hours of practice, and then there's no extra Allison Krauss' to sing? Many musicians, only one AK. Say, that's also Alaska! Now that makes some sense...last frontier, last singer, and both the best.
Johndoe191919 4 years ago
"Picky" indeed. I've been trying to teach myself dobro for a couple of years and never seem to have enough time to make much progress :-( Oh well, it's still fun to just pick around with.
"last frontier, last singer, and both the best. "
Well I don't much about Alaska, but Alison Krauss is definately the best at her game!
Have a great weekend!

kaysandesses 4 years ago
Dobro, eh? Very, very cool. That Jerry Douglas sure can bend those "holler" notes around? Just watch him and play along. I play along with AK & US all the time. It's fun. Almost like playing with them if you squint yer eyes. Alison sure is a blessing. The more I listen the more I like. These guys are REALLY GOOD!!
Johndoe191919 4 years ago
"Just watch him and play along. I play along with AK & US all the time."
I'm not that good yet. I haven't even mastered the basics. Things in life like remodeling a whole damn farmstead tend to get in the way of musical hobbies.
Someday though...
kaysandesses 4 years ago
Music is love. Love is sharing. Music is to be shared by all those still with a heart big enough to share. Remember, life is very short, but you must pause to smell the rose and watch the sun rise. Without that, there is no life. There is time for work, and a time for play. You must find balance. Music is not a hobby, it is love. Would you stop loving your dog because you are remodeling the farm? Har, avast there, turn about before you hit the rocks! You may be going the wrong way?
Johndoe191919 4 years ago
All good advice my friend. We still take time for things that are most important, top of the list is spoiling the dogs, cats, horses, and even the wild birds. In fact, our current most pressing remodeling project is to re-skin the barn, while we live in a 100 year old home desperately in need of updates. It's a tough balance and as such, music has had to take the back seat for a little while. We're doing a shock attack on the remodeling so that then we can enjoy the rest of our days .
kaysandesses 4 years ago
Well, landsakes...that old barn "skin" is highly prized by Beigelander industrialists and money lenders north of the Mason-Dixon. Maybe even sell the old wood on Ebay? Or, contact remodelers and let them know how many board feet you have. That old hand sawn wood is used to great extent for inside paneling out in the Hamptons and in Beverly Hills. You should be able to sell it, buy new wood and have money left over for a new Gibson F4 mandolin! I
Johndoe191919 4 years ago
Actually, the old siding is too deteriorated to save. Otherwise, we would paint it. Too much neglect from previous owners. So, we're going with a steel product that is nearly indistiguishable from lapped siding from more than 50' away. Then, similar stuff on the roof. Best part is it still looks like an old barn. Also, if you take the old stuff off it ruins the character of the interior. Weird folks us, who worry about the character of their barn!
kaysandesses 4 years ago
Bluegrass is really amazing! All the players are playing this happy melody, beautiful Alisson smiling and melodic.....and the message of the songs heart rending and grievious. It's all like an American business deal, all flowers and "save big", but you pay through the nose. Bluegrass is just too cool, and Krauss is the best ever!~

Allison just gets better and better and better and BETTER as time goes by. I cannot get enough of the sweetest voice in music today. That beauty(Allison) could melt the very gates of Mordor with those tones! I sure wish I was in the band, Union Station! Now that would be the ultimate answered prayer!
Johndoe191919 4 years ago
I have known Alison since she was 14 yrs old. We played music all night until the sun came up. At the end, all I could say is "Wow, this kid is going to be somebody." Go see her in concert. I've been so many times I can't count. The hair on the back of your neck will stand straight. The group is so polished & professional. These are folks that love what they do.
