Alison has always stood on her own talent and looks, she never tryed to look like or sound like Patsy, what one dumb statement below. This woman is so talented omg who cant see that , plus she gets better looking each year.
L to R at 1:34 - ??, Jerry Douglas, Alison Krauss, Barry Bales, Adam Steffey, Ron Block. Don't know the rhythm guitarist on the left. (It isn't Dan Tyminski who joined later.) Nice to see this early video.
i am pretty stunned to hear about people talking about what this woman looks like.... sorry but this video is about what she sounds like... and shes got the golden voice of all time... she would still rip it if they wrapped her head in gunny sacks before every show.
who gives a fuck about her looks...if you came for looks, go to some stupid pop singers video, you'll get no-talent-whores too. -__- grrr i'm so angry. lol
What a kick how everyone is commenting on her looks! Folks, this is probably the 90's when Alison was barely over 20 and this look was very typical of the 90's! I think she looks adorable and it's fun to see how her singing style is a little different than today. She's still with the same guys-so awesome!
@goldworldnet Do you know what atsy even looked like? You're drunk or retarded- sorry- you are just really wrong. Allison looks great just being Allison!
@goldworldnet Do you know what Patsy even looked like? You're drunk or retarded- sorry- you are just really wrong. Allison looks great just being Allison!
Does she sing, "Back to Georgia?" or back to "Geor ga guuu?" or something entirely different? This has to be the only song where I'm not certain of her lyrics, she usually sings so clearly and purely that every word can be heard. But on this one, she has me beat.
I love this song! I wish I could meet Alison in person just so I can hear her sing. She is amazing! I am going to sing this on Americas Got Talent! I am detecating it
I was born and raised in Georgia and my family lives in Atlanta. Every time I'm driving to ATL from New Orleans to visit them, I listen to this song. It's tradition.
How is it that Alison looked like she was 40 when she was 20 and now at about 40 looks like she is 20. Her Golden voice stays the same. Born July 23, 1971.
OK all you Aussies. Check out a couple of your country men/women. Look up the Greencards started by two Aussies and a Brit. Some of the smokinest bluegrass music ever.
@HotRodSixString ARS may have covered it too, but it was written by Mick Ralphs of Bad Company and appeared on the Desolation Angels album from 1979.
Regardless Alison does a fine job and has a great taste in music! She truly made it her own. First time I ever heard of her was when I saw her do this tune on Dave Letterman, bought the album the next day!
@ctune1 Wow isn't it funny how you can own an album listen to it until you wear the grooves out and still remember wrong . And I sounded so convincing I probably made somebody else get it wrong as well . I sure had me fooled .

@ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 - Wanna choose up sides & have another go at it? I expect the outcome would be FAR different this round. And if you are so stupid as to think that the War of Northern Aggression was fought over slavery, you simply didn't pay attention during History class - damn Yankee.
@OhBeeg1BanjoV My friend, I have Southern people in my family. They are all 'liberal.' The South is not and was never the Confederacy. No, I do not want to 'have another go at it' - because I do not want to divide the United States. And 'history' is not taught in 'classes.' It is learned through your own critical reading of books, making sure every fact is proved. Stop being so hostile.
Why is it that the people who support the Confederacy are Aussies and Germans? We Americans have given so much to you. Yet you want to divide us. Stay in your own country and do not bother us! The South was crushed. They believed in slavery. We crushed them. We will crush anyone who opposes us.
@Mygrassisblue01 What message are you responding to? Have you misdirected your post? Why do you respond to me? I said nothing about the South. And, what do you know what I know about history? And, what does history matter? Do you do unto others as you would have others do unto you? If so, why are we arguing?

My Favorite song by Allison. I love this. It always gives me joy. The problem is I only have a cassette to listen to and no cassette player. lol I will get the cd soon. I love you Allison Krause ! ! ! ! ! !
I always liked her version better then the original! Living in Ireland now (via Atlanta) and this song and version..always makes me feel a bit homesick for Atlanta.
Boy, there are a lot of either young or musically uneducated folks around here. This music is Allison's version of music which comes straight out of the Black South. A great amount of Bluegrass is highly influenced by Southern Black people. I hope you young people remember that. I'm sure Allison does.
@Rcksaltnnails I think she's pretty damn hot now ! Jusy show's how she has blossomed with age like a fine wine . Glad she lost the perm though..... Oh! and her voice is amazin' as well ; )
True, but she is near perfect in voice and face and body now! Money and public exposure, advisors, etc., etc., etc. can help a person become more refined and more appealing in every way!
True..been alot of barbie and ken record deals mess up country music. I vote for more talent and less posers! Who cares how good they look if they sing like mud.
@nastynippelz Yes, 'sung from the heart.' Hmmm. Is art morality? Yes, I love AK. But I do NOT like her politics. I prefer the Dixie Chickx. They have more courage.

Only Natalie and the DC had the courage to buck that. Wagner didn't have to worry about such things. He was the ultimate rock star of his age. Thanks for your kind comment, my friend.
@scorpionmuse Yes, but what are Allison's views about politics? Do you suppose she has freedom of speech, my friend? No. She is under contract with a record company because if she expresses her political views, her fans might not agree. You can not avoid reality my friend. As Aristotle said, man is a political animal. Moreover, in a republic, it is our obligation. We must think. Above all, we must be honest and sincere, and have courage in our sincerity.
@ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 I see your point to an extent but I know that I a not avoiding reality. I came to this sight to listen to music for it to take me away for a moment from reality. Is that so wrong to forget for the moment, to get lost in the music the sound of her voice, and to read like minds who enjoy her music, not to read about people arguing, or "debating" about polotics? I live with the reality of things every day, I am analytical and like a good debate, but not about our differences.

@scorpionmuse I'm very sorry I caused any bad feelings. Yet, did not Jesus say He did not bring peace, but a sword -- and I've always interpreted that as the sword, not of hate, but of justice. So long as we fight for what is right, for the Golden Rule He taught, we need never fear conflict. No. We can --and must -- welcome it. I do not believe in the supernatural - don't get me wrong. But I consider myself a Christian, and that is above all 'countries' and tribes and races.
I'm an Aussie...How rude and uneducated you are to mouth off like that about Australia....You want to see patriotic?? I don't think it is very nice to come on here and slag off about someones 'Whole" country. There are another 20 million Aussies in this "colony" you know you insulting, know nothing, POS!! I hope you never visit our paradise down under, we want the land values to rise!!! Ugh...ignorance just pisses me off >:(
@RockChiki I don't know what this ass said about your great country. Because it has been removed. All I know I have been to the lucky land 3 times and it is paradise, And the people there are the greatest. And People who think the Australians hate Americans. Don't know the Aussies because 99.999% are just great people. I miss OZ so bad. Great music, food, land, and most of all people. Thank you so much for being so nice to this American. OH I forgot about the VB great stuff.
@aerowayne1 How many Aussies have you met? They call Americans 'Seppos.' There is no corresponding American word to put down Australians. 'Seppo' comes from 'Septic tank,' meaning that some (most?) Australians seem to think Americans are shi-. I live in Japan, and I've met many Australians. Most are obsessed with glorifying Australia. That seems to be evident in this thread too..... I would hope that is not what 'Seppoland' is all about - us and our 'Seppo' Constitution.
@Amfortaz It is not a derogatory term in the way you think it is, it is very rarely used except on 50 year old movies and is rhyming slang, the same as the Cockney's use.Septic Tank = Yank.
I am over 50 and lived in Oz most of my life and have NEVER heard the term used except in a really bad American made film that was supposed to show typical Australians
@aerowayne1 Rockchicki came to MY defence after a tosser (who deleted all his posts) said that Allyson Krause was no good,overated etc etc and THIS Aussie came to her defence and simply asked how many Grammy's HE had to compare with her talent .For that he then started to bag my country after seeing where I was from on my profile.
@RockChiki I've been to Queensland. Amazing. Beautiful. A police officer gave me a ride because I was lost... Australia, and her people, are beautiful. And what's up with all the big breasts!? When I came back to California, I told my sister that there must be something in the water... needless to say, I drank gallons while I was there. I'm sad to report: No change. Still a Barely B cup ;)
@RockChiki I'm here with you on this one, anyone who mouths off about our country can go die in a hole. i love Australia, its a b-e-a-UTIFUL Country :) i am proud to call it home.
@birdiejoehoaks Hey you ignorant moron. What the frick are you living in WV??Inbred little fuck with ears out to your mouth?? STFU. You make the rest of Americans look bad. What is 1 plus 1 mofo?? Give me a decent answer fuckhead and maby you'll be forgiven. Fuck I hate ignorant asscaps...........
@1958wvpicker I am from eastern Ky and I was in Nam with some Aussies and went to Australia for R&R and was treated very well and with respect, but that that was not what I come home too,We people from WV and Ky and VA mountains are more manly than most men in the USA and i am a picker also and i like Aussies
Are you really Australian? You don't seem to write native English. Anyone can say they are anyone on the Internet. Judging from your English, and your rudeness, you seen neither a native English speaker nor an 'Aussie.'
@RockChiki Why don't you calm down, mate. If you Aussies have an inferiority complex, take it up with the UK, not we Americans. They 'transported' you, not us. What I object to is you right-wing Aussies projecting your complex in the US - in the form of Rupert Murdoch. I wish the Confederacy had won independence, then we 'liberals' would be separated rightists using Confederate images to assuage their inferiority complex. And BTW, I have several 'liberal' Aussie friends.
@ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 The reason RockChiki got upset was because an idiot was bagging Allyson Krause and saying she was a no talent etc.I pointed out to him that she has one more Grammy's than any other artist and for that, he went to my profile,found where I was from and went on a mindless attack on Australia,Australians etc.He deleted all his comments because he has no guts and you unfortunately can only see what remained.As for Rupert Murdoch, you're welcome to him.
@ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 Murdoch gave up his citizenship to buy more American interests and that is the lowest thing I can imagine doing.
Not sure if you are aware but Murdoch's father was one of the most liberal and at the time considered radical for his stance against the British Empire and the way they treated Australain soldiers under their command at Gallipoli. He was a journalist that paid his own way to the War to get the truth.Rupert has none of those qualities
What a wanker.!! You NEVER will because you're a NOBODY giving your opinion in a forum about a talented performer and a great song.BTW,you're getting the Thumbs Down probably because you're opinion isn't worth a crock of shit.
I just read your profile...you really should keep quiet.If you are really 25 !! You act and write at a 5th grade level.Please stop embarrassing yourself !!
A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.Please don't try to engage in a battle of wits,you are totally unarmed.Your entire "intellect" is based on the fact that someone showed you how to spell Google.
I am not digging on her looks, I am digging on the reasons as i see them. It is faked, as is her music today. She IS a bluegrasser, but really doesnt do that anymore so she can remain commercial. Same with her looks, she has had atleast 3 plastic surgeries because the "real" Allison wouldnt be "Pretty" enough for big time comercial airplay, and that is sad. What happened to selling music because you can, get this, SING! If she an a guitar sang kids songs and she was 300 pounds she would be great
Tell that to Ann Wilson of Heart....she has one of the most amazing female voices ever...and she gets no respect due to the fact that she has gotten heavy....I think it sucks that the buying public is so full of shit to not be able to see past looks to talent. Ma Cass would never make it in the music business today...Neither would Patsy Cline...and that is shameful.
I understand your convoluted logic,but don't agree, if she were the commercial type she would just go solo ,like so many others,and why rounder records her entire Career,and not the big boys? because she doesnt want anyone controlling her, and why oh why doesnt she just go straight country, nobody even plays her music on the radio and she could care less! COMMERCIAL?get real.
That Robert Plant and Alison Krauss record was on VH1 for goodness' sake! "Whiskey Lullaby" was all over the radio too. Also, of course the bigger names @ Rounder have more "free reign" probably, but Ken Irwin is still in charge overall. A majority of Americans know who she is, as evidence by her broad television and radio play AND numerious Grammy wins. I think she just might be COMMERCIAL....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Great pipes,But Alsin Krauss was son ugly before her plastic surgery(s) she should have been Known as "The Unknown Singer" and should have been forced to wear a paper bag over her head when she sings like the Unknown Comic guy from the Gong Show.
kay so im a little late on commenting back...but good god your an idiot.
i bet ur not any better looking and u sure as hell cant sing better than her. not even close. so take ur stupid comment somewhere else cuz uh..no one gives a shit what u think
My wife and I saw them at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis in the early 90's. WOW! This song brought the house down! I am looking for the video to their very first hit on CMT. It is called "New Fool". We were on vacation and that video came on. It was our first introduction to Allison Krauss and her amazing voice and we instantly fell in love with her! Can anybody post it or tell me where to find it? Thanks!
I heard this song when I was 6 and new right away that I wanted to be a singer! She is my first and best inspiration. I love you Allison and God bless!
Alison has always stood on her own talent and looks, she never tryed to look like or sound like Patsy, what one dumb statement below. This woman is so talented omg who cant see that , plus she gets better looking each year.

@scorpionmuse Yes, but what are Allison's views about politics? Do you suppose she has freedom of speech, my friend? No. She is under contract with a record company because if she expresses her political views, her fans might not agree. You can not avoid reality my friend. As Aristotle said, man is a political animal. Moreover, in a republic, it is our obligation. We must think. Above all, we must be honest and sincere, and have courage in our sincerity.

@ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 I see your point to an extent but I know that I a not avoiding reality. I came to this sight to listen to music for it to take me away for a moment from reality. Is that so wrong to forget for the moment, to get lost in the music the sound of her voice, and to read like minds who enjoy her music, not to read about people arguing, or "debating" about polotics? I live with the reality of things every day, I am analytical and like a good debate, but not about our differences.

@scorpionmuse I'm very sorry I caused any bad feelings. Yet, did not Jesus say He did not bring peace, but a sword -- and I've always interpreted that as the sword, not of hate, but of justice. So long as we fight for what is right, for the Golden Rule He taught, we need never fear conflict. No. We can --and must -- welcome it. I do not believe in the supernatural - don't get me wrong. But I consider myself a Christian, and that is above all 'countries' and tribes and races.

I don't think it is very nice to come on here and slag off about someones 'Whole" country. There are another 20 million Aussies in this "colony" you know you insulting, know nothing, POS!! I hope you never visit our paradise down under, we want the land values to rise!!! Ugh...ignorance just pisses me off >:(

@RockChiki I don't know what this ass said about your great country. Because it has been removed. All I know I have been to the lucky land 3 times and it is paradise, And the people there are the greatest. And People who think the Australians hate Americans. Don't know the Aussies because 99.999% are just great people. I miss OZ so bad. Great music, food, land, and most of all people. Thank you so much for being so nice to this American. OH I forgot about the VB great stuff.

@aerowayne1 How many Aussies have you met? They call Americans 'Seppos.' There is no corresponding American word to put down Australians. 'Seppo' comes from 'Septic tank,' meaning that some (most?) Australians seem to think Americans are shi-. I live in Japan, and I've met many Australians. Most are obsessed with glorifying Australia. That seems to be evident in this thread too..... I would hope that is not what 'Seppoland' is all about - us and our 'Seppo' Constitution.

aerowayne1 1 year ago
@Amfortaz It is not a derogatory term in the way you think it is, it is very rarely used except on 50 year old movies and is rhyming slang, the same as the Cockney's use.Septic Tank = Yank.
I am over 50 and lived in Oz most of my life and have NEVER heard the term used except in a really bad American made film that was supposed to show typical Australians

@aerowayne1 Rockchicki came to MY defence after a tosser (who deleted all his posts) said that Allyson Krause was no good,overated etc etc and THIS Aussie came to her defence and simply asked how many Grammy's HE had to compare with her talent .For that he then started to bag my country after seeing where I was from on my profile.

Are you really Australian? You don't seem to write native English. Anyone can say they are anyone on the Internet. Judging from your English, and your rudeness, you seen neither a native English speaker nor an 'Aussie.'

@RockChiki Who cares where you are from?
ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 1 year ago
@RockChiki Why don't you calm down, mate. If you Aussies have an inferiority complex, take it up with the UK, not we Americans. They 'transported' you, not us. What I object to is you right-wing Aussies projecting your complex in the US - in the form of Rupert Murdoch. I wish the Confederacy had won independence, then we 'liberals' would be separated rightists using Confederate images to assuage their inferiority complex. And BTW, I have several 'liberal' Aussie friends.
ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 1 year ago
@ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 The reason RockChiki got upset was because an idiot was bagging Allyson Krause and saying she was a no talent etc.I pointed out to him that she has one more Grammy's than any other artist and for that, he went to my profile,found where I was from and went on a mindless attack on Australia,Australians etc.He deleted all his comments because he has no guts and you unfortunately can only see what remained.As for Rupert Murdoch, you're welcome to him.
muddyboots111 10 months ago
@ytdsgdjgfueyxn537 Murdoch gave up his citizenship to buy more American interests and that is the lowest thing I can imagine doing.
Not sure if you are aware but Murdoch's father was one of the most liberal and at the time considered radical for his stance against the British Empire and the way they treated Australain soldiers under their command at Gallipoli. He was a journalist that paid his own way to the War to get the truth.Rupert has none of those qualities

dukefancarr44 3 years ago
I am not digging on her looks, I am digging on the reasons as i see them. It is faked, as is her music today. She IS a bluegrasser, but really doesnt do that anymore so she can remain commercial. Same with her looks, she has had atleast 3 plastic surgeries because the "real" Allison wouldnt be "Pretty" enough for big time comercial airplay, and that is sad. What happened to selling music because you can, get this, SING! If she an a guitar sang kids songs and she was 300 pounds she would be great
Rcksaltnnails 3 years ago
Tell that to Ann Wilson of Heart....she has one of the most amazing female voices ever...and she gets no respect due to the fact that she has gotten heavy....I think it sucks that the buying public is so full of shit to not be able to see past looks to talent. Ma Cass would never make it in the music business today...Neither would Patsy Cline...and that is shameful.
expostfactum 3 years ago 2
I understand your convoluted logic,but don't agree, if she were the commercial type she would just go solo ,like so many others,and why rounder records her entire Career,and not the big boys? because she doesnt want anyone controlling her, and why oh why doesnt she just go straight country, nobody even plays her music on the radio and she could care less! COMMERCIAL?get real.
kiknthballs 3 years ago
That Robert Plant and Alison Krauss record was on VH1 for goodness' sake! "Whiskey Lullaby" was all over the radio too. Also, of course the bigger names @ Rounder have more "free reign" probably, but Ken Irwin is still in charge overall. A majority of Americans know who she is, as evidence by her broad television and radio play AND numerious Grammy wins. I think she just might be COMMERCIAL....

Great pipes,But Alsin Krauss was son ugly before her plastic surgery(s) she should have been Known as "The Unknown Singer" and should have been forced to wear a paper bag over her head when she sings like the Unknown Comic guy from the Gong Show.

We were on vacation and that video came on. It was our first introduction to Allison Krauss and her amazing voice and we instantly fell in love with her! Can anybody post it or tell me where to find it? Thanks!
