Alison Krauss & Union Station - Another Night

[CornFedFiddler]

I'm sad that THIS Alison was replaced by a pop star :( She kicked the grass... but now that Alison is dead.

I got a tip to go check AK in the spring of 1990 - I had no idea who she was - here in Kansas City in a bar that seated about 50 people. I was so hooked after hearing her and this very lineup and have turned on countless folks for this most wonderful band.

She came around a year later to open up for the Nashville Cats in a 500 seat venue and I got to talk to her after they did their set - what a cool, unassuming massive talent !

I just stumbled on this exchange. It sure isn't the kind visits I've had with bluegrass musicians. Please remember what drew you to this kind of music.

Double fab. A great American export, you guys must be justly proud.

I`ve just watched this young lady singing Leonards wonderful halelujah, just great.

I love this stuff. I'd love to have some videos of Alison's early days. Dan's rhythm hand is uniquely different than anyone else I've ever seen. His rhythm accents more every other down beat as where Dan's rhythm is more constant like a high hat simble beat. I've studied both guitarists and they both have unique traits that set them apart from the Rice style. Either way both are two of the most underated guitar players of the day. Thank you so much for posting these rare clips.

I was at this concert and remember it well. Even though Alison Krauss was not famous at the time, her talent was obvious. Thanks so much for recording it and for posting it for all to enjoy!

[bluegrassrulz]

someone knew who she was.... cause she joined the opry just 2 years later

[mittmedic]

Mr. Block has nothing on Miss Brown!!!

[bamertide]

uhhh yea, ok.

[nonmax15]

Hey saw the old LRB stuff. Nice man. I've got some on VHS I'm converting of the LRB with Steve Dilling, banjo, Ronnie Bowman, Bass, Dan T. mand, and Austin on Guitar. I'll get them up this week I hope.

[bluegrassrulz]

man...if you can find the river band stuff i'd LOVE to see it

[vintage18lover]

I found it. I've just got to convert the VHS to digital, make my clips and then upload them. Doesn't take too long...just hard finding the time to do it!!

[gochippy]

Wow, Alison Brown, too!!!

[nonmax15]

NOS454V8 I don't agree. Stafford has a completely different style than Dan. I know you probably won't agree but if you could play both you'd know they're not the same.

[vintage18lover]

I personally agree with you nonmax15. Which reminds me...somewhere around here I have some home video I made about 1990 of The Lonesome River Band. The members consisted of Dan Tyminski on mandolin, Tim Austin on guitar, Jerry McMillan on bass, and Dale Perry on banjo. If I can dig it up I'll post some clips.

[NOS454V8]

I still dont agree with you. I got a question, but not to "toot my own horn" but how do you know that I can't play both styles? I have studied both styles extensively and I understand them enough to know, also have studied Rice's style too, so before you go and make a comment like that, think first.

[nonmax15]

I did think first that's why I said that. There's no way you know what your talking about, and can play both styles if you make a comment like that. Sorry, but that's my opinion.  But, I stand by it 100%.

[NOS454V8]

Well Bubba.. you can think what you want to.. I know what I am capable of, and can play and do it efficiently, I cannot say the same for you and I will not say anymore because I am not here to bash anyone, but you are intitled to your opinion no matter how wrong you are.....

[nonmax15]

Well, super picker. I don't see that you have anything up here so why don't you grace us with some videos of you playing all these wonderful styles. I'm dying to see some.

[NOS454V8]

Well thats good, we'll see in the future. But like I said I'm not tooting my own horn and bashing anyone so therefore drop the whole situation. All I did was voice my opinion and YOU started calling me out by saying up above, that I don't know what I'm talking about and play both styles. For one thing, I play with influences of different styles, not some TR clone out like pretty well every other guitar player out there. There is only one TR and will be only one TR! You cant reinvent the wheel.

[NOS454V8]

And another thing since I ran out of characters in the last post, I DO NOT need to prove anything to you, this is just an opinion and this is mine. If you want to think what you want then go ahead, but DO NOT call someone else out and tell them they're wrong when the facts are there. I have played ever since I was 8 and now 19 and I can tell you if there was ever people like you around here that was to "encourage" me to play, I would be a little punk playing metal music.

[NOS454V8]

Further more nonmax15 we are both wrong. This could have been talked about better than this, when I made my original post I should have thought first and said "similar". Neither of us were talking about what aspects of each styles. I should have said, "he has a similar style as shown here." Yes I admit I was wrong but you were wrong making assumptions about my playing ability too, like I said I am not tooting my own horn but I know what other people have said about myself and what I play.

[NOS454V8]

It isn't hard to see how Dan Tyminski "molds" his rhythm after, he has the same style as Stafford's rhythm shown here.

[musicianforjesus]

Yeah I think Dan plays just a little harder then Tim though. I like Ron Blocks banjo work on this song when they recorded it on the Everytime You Say Goodbye album

[d28player]

Thanks Jarrod! Verrrry nice!

[banjobilly32]
