Alison Krauss - In my mind I`m going to Carolina

[dsteding]

This is what those of us who were "born with music in the blood" live for! Perfect art.

[navycolt41]

Jerry is the best dobro man in the world,beautiful

[YellowHand2003]

Now you never have to wonder what a 10 is anymore?

[21sleeper]

Her voice makes me melt.

[RenegadeNXW]

Best cover of this song. Almost as good as the original

[PenelopeTheDuck]

I love the way her amazing voice just always comes out with no effort at all. Absolutely sent from heaven.

[dannyjsat]

NOTHING BUT CLASS AND WHAT A GROUP OF MUSICIANS...

[Pawlzee]

never have i heard such a beautiful delivery of a james taylor song.

[topgazza]

2.55 to 3.05 Alison seems to go to another reflective place for a moment...just painfully sensitive singing....bravo

[topgazza]

Yep, lovely restrained yet powerful rendition as only Alison can do.....and jerry does the same. A unique and beautiful performance

[echovector]

As someone so astutely stated on another video.....this lady could sing the yellow pages and I'd listen.........all day long.........

[buckwlw]

Amazing!

[fuzzypige222]

sheesh, i love women...this woman is amazing

[hoagienurdblatt]

I like her singing this song. Every song she sings is beautiful.

[ishta]

This song cannot be parted with Lee Sklar bass lines. You can add anything but Lee's bass lines must not be taken away. Don't get me wrong -- big fan of Union Station and Alison.

[robharding1957]

must agree with most you folks, lve seen many singers over the past 40 plus yrs,,but l aint seen the likes of this lady before,,,shes special,,

[TheCeliaLewis]

If you haven't realized that Alison Krauss is a rare talent,

without equal, I guess you're a great fan of Box Car Willy

[digadoo07]

Jerry Douglas is the shit! and I don't understand how somebody could dislike this video....must have clicked the wrong button cause they definitely don't any taste in music...

[reptilicus975]

makes me miss my friend...left me too soon. :( but this song is.....something. :)

[martysomoco]

JT...........This is the person for whom you wrote the song.......So gracefully expressive. So delicately performed. With inflection and earthyness. Thank you, Alison. I love you.

[tanattecnocraft]

Who the hell put thumbs down? This is how music evokes felling.

[jaslinc1]

I was fortunate to see Alison with the Seldom Scene all of twenty eight years ago. Her clear deep and powerful voice still "haunts my mind". That's country to me.

[1patelparesh]

superb lyrics . superb music . superb voice. makes superb song. its treat to ear.

[behmor]

a voice of angels

[Mr761953]

where was this recording made ???

[Pangael]

James Taylor has always had the ability to take someone else's music and make it his own, be it Buddy Holly's "Every Day" or Stephen Foster's "Hard Times."

Allison shows us she can do the same with Taylor's music.

Be proud James. Be proud Allison.

[gamagan1]

NICELY DONE

[c00per69]

My god she is Beutiful... There is nothing but softness with Alison

[MrJimbodian]

If Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas were to create a child I would like to be the first to offer my services as agent/manager and unashamed leech! God Bless You Tube (and wine)!!

[paocho3]

listen to her and Shawn Colviin singing "THE BOXER".

Beautiful harmony!

[denis97874]

shivers from head to toe.

[ritchie2000]

Anyone know where this is being performed and if it's available on CD?

[BryanBowser1]

Goosebumps

(and isn't that what it's all about)

[islandguy924]

She is amazing. The talent in this woman is beyond compare in music today.

[dausaf91]

Great voice......

[PCIrcenis]

Soothes the soul...

[andretti1950]

der liebe gott hat dir die gabe gegeben,gefühl auch in der musik zu geben,was viel wichtiger ist,als alles andere.sehr schön--.

[sixfootbear]

Yep its pretty good.

[halloweenstore]

Alison has a beautiful voice and does sweet baby justice 4 sure!

[halloweenstore]

Alison has a beautiful voice and does sweet baby justice 4 sure!

[SCRWOOD]

SHE IS LOVELY

[lwhphd]

Amazing song sung by an amazing lady!

[xxshadi]

she is very wanderful

[onemooners]

do james taylor good

[asbestosicould]

If an angel came to see you, would you make her feel at home? Ms. Krauss is just such an angel, and she will always have a welcoming home in my heart. Yours too, I suppose. Thanks!

[HEMPOIL69]

Robert Plant fell in love with her.

[daddynamedmejanine]

Well....I've traveled much....and always come back to Carolina!!!

[fairterr]

@daddynamedmejanine

Heaven is a place called North Carolina...always in my mind...Alison Krauss has the perfect voice for this song,(next to Sweet Baby James') of course

[paulamcmath]

This was one of the songs I loved as a kid...

[lmariablg]

beautiful. this is music

[doire7]

She speak's in irish. The one thing irish girls do is sing. Alison krauss is the best singer in the world.

[queenfan2408]

She is flawless!!!!!

[SuperTheLuckyOne]

Always love listening to Union Station and Alison. Great song.

[sartainja]

It does not get any better than that song being covered by her.

[stelvans]

marks out of 10 I'd give her one

[iquitosloreto]

Awesome song

[razorman916]

excellent slide work!

[termite2491]

One of the best looking women on the planet

[dan2buys]

@termite2491 Funny how her voice raises her natural unconventional beauty up to achingly desirable 

[cvsisinthehouse]

Perhaps the best cover ever. Best voice on this planet. Dont get me started.

[KyNurse4]

she's my hero....

[757optim]

sweeter than tupelo honey.

[SoundDecisionDJ]

Sucjh a great voice. How did she get to play on the Death Star?

[ClioSmith]

Alison Krauss has an amazing amount of musical talent, and even better, she has an almost supernatural gift for communicating emotion. This comes out very well when just listening to her songs, but seeing her perform is just remarkable.

[Ruiggie]

Good, but Melanie's version is the best!!!

[causebass]

anyone knows who is playing bass?

[kvick6]

I love Alison, but this version of JT's song was way too mellow. Where they playing in a library? Sad...

[KyNurse4]

this is a cover..not supposed to be a complete replica of the original....and i love james taylor...but let's face it...he's not quite the headbanger either...but i respect your preference of his over hers

[esprit15d]

No clue she had version of this song. So beautiful.

[glakesdent]

Steve231

Remember the movie soylent green when it was EG Robinson's turn to become food for the many, no not like Obamacare, and had his choice of what to view and listen to as they gave him the juice? For me, in EG's position, give me this video and song over and over again until I'm turned into a little green biscuit! She's, wonderful!

[modalus]

this is hilarious but you are spot my friend - 'little green biscuit' - so funny. But alison krauss brings me to somewhere in my mind that very few other musicians do. the movie was wonderful also. ha ha you gave me a great little giggle this morning.

[modalus]

This is spot on - that movie has prophetic overtones. But it remembers what is important.

[andretti1950]

super hammer!

[andretti1950]

alison,du bist die grösste!!ich habe echt tränen in den augen.deine stimme hat so viel gefühl.

[Onthebay123]

What a remakable voice, and, modest presentaion that strikes to the heart, Krauss is a treasure...

[luckypenny482]

This woman was sent to earth for the express purpose of filling the air with song. Her talent leaves me in total awe ...

ps--Jerry ain't too bad, either.

[sassyreggae]

well said on both counts :-)

[lesboil]

you got that right Penny...she is an Angel

[whh01]

She could sing about paint drying and it would be beautiful. Dolly Parton said that about Alison.

I agree.

[jojogi42]

kentucky girl make us proud!!

[reddragonready]

I am sure she does but what that has to do with Krauss is beyond me!

[curlingaddict1]

Ummm...she's from Illinois. Champagne/Urbana area to be exact.

[juscurious]

This woman has one of the most unique and beautiful voices I've ever heard. It's so recognizable. She doesn't souldn like anyone else. She seems to be able to sing any type of music but she's best known for bluegrass. A remarkable talent.

[blacksheep24]

wonderful. love the original (JT is a god!) - but this is an incredible cover.

[critter770]

Great take on a very old song,Allison makes this sound so fresh and new ..love it.

[srvinfinity]

With Allison's phrasing this is the first time I undersood the words. Beautiful! Jerry Douglas plays the meanest dobro in the world (of course!)

[michaelnikosey57]

some great music comin out of nashville these days. this is a cut obove.

[KNT0791]

I have never seen a woman with more music in her soul than her. She has a level of class that is absent from country music of today. I hope more follow her lead.

[utpunkster]

I would love to see JT and Alison sing this together.

[wommmbat]

It's not just that it's a great James Taylor song, Alison, Jerry Douglas and the whole band do such a fine job on this..

[iglandroger]

It`s Jams Taylors band !!

[wommmbat]

Ahh.. that'll be why then .. thanks :0]

[brandonch25]

@iglandroger yes the singer is alisson and the dobro player is not james taylors band member thats one of alisson krauses band members jerry douglas one of the best slide players alive ... give them some credit to lol

[wommmbat]

Awesome.. can't stop playing it..

[AdamH108TA]

Country/Western is simply the best form of music.

[maxsat5]

So true! =D

[fendertexas]

simply fantastic

[FoulOwl]

Never remake a song unless you can do it better than the original.And I've got to say,...sorry JT,she's got ya on this one.

[BimborgBroadcast]

Dear Alison Krauss. Please come to Denmark and play for us. Your are the best!

[srvinfinity]

So glad you love her in Denmark. She is a jewel. I hope Alison and Union Station come and play for you in Denmark. And Jerry Douglas is the best on dobro.

[jegvilhaenlitenhund]

why don't you just enjoy the song?

[1996WHW]

i love North Carolina WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PS GO DUKE

[beccaflight9]

Its not California in my mind, but going to Carolina in my mind???????

[BillReef]

yeah, per cent IS two words like dumb ass, dumb ass. :) you might want to check Webster's on both of those.

[BillReef]

yeah, only the biggest state in the union. If CA was a country it would be the 5th in the world rank of GNP. Maybe if CA seceded they wouldn't have to deal with close minded morons and hicks. Maybe someone would write a song called I'm going to "Alabama in my Mind". Flatiron you must be an Okie.

[D1A10361]

Your right, Bill it is the biggest state in the Union...right behind Alaska and Texas.

[BillReef]

Duh, Alaska has like 8 people and 5 of them are named Palin. No wonder they are so inbred. CA has 38 million people and only 2 per cent are hicks.

[SamsWays]

yeah, i live in california and its not what its cracked up to be lol

[canstusdis]

it's carolina

[joe196798]

it's carolina

[johnnymartyns89]

it's carolina

[ponata3]

uhhh...it's goin to carolina, not california!

[wcwirla]

I'm a huge fan of the JT original but this absolutely rocks. The voice, the arrangement, the sound is pitch perfect. What a singer!

[mainducky]

Wrong title but the sound is better on this version. The harmony is audible.

[kiknthballs]

I remember first seeing this for the first time ,taped from the PBS broadcast,thinking "was that as good as i thought it was? and put it on again- and- again---she's THAT good.

[Amhlair]

Yikes, the title is In My Mind I'm Going to CAROLINA....

[Jimiimij]

What a treat. Save to fav for sure. And Yes a voice of an angel.

[billebrock]

i just realized how underrated jerry's backing vocals are! he's amazing!

[hotforjpn]

Geez, can't get much gayer than that billegirl

[localseed]

roflmao..thought i was only 1 seeing this

[ncrailfan]

haha

[FoulOwl]

I never thought anybody could outdo James Taylor on this one.What can I say?I was wrong.

[billebrock]

she does sing like an angel, doesnt she?

[smokesbob]

Just beutiful.

[JoeyPencils]

she is great but James T...man he sings this song perfectly

[adman101231]

Actually It is called BlueGrass

[missingmyjoel]

breathtakingly

beautiful!

[mbarn910]

If labels are so useless in art why are you concerned with wether or not its "country." And it is by the way.

[coade123]

I had a long argument with my sister in law about what was country. Finally she said "bendy notes"

[ramus001]

Who cares?

[ycartsh]

Woa...to be as beautiful as Allison and her voice is absolutely eurphoric. My fav!

[jakiblue]

Carolina (North) NOT California

[billebrock]

look below...:)....will you berate them as well?

:)

[billebrock]

good choice of videos...you're not that fucked up after all!

[billebrock]

hello patrick...why the animosity? :)

[w3tua]

The vocals are superb but the instrumental between Alison and Jerry is AWESOME!!!!!! This is the first I've heard of this version and my hair stood on end!

[billebrock]

i saw this as they played it on tv...my hair stood then!!

[billebrock]

this is funny! you have the title wrong, but of all the clips of this version, this is the absolute clearest audio quality!! ty so much...peace and love

[jrmcc79]

North Carolina, the greatest place on earth.

WB 34 37

[scottgw2]

James Taylor's "CAROLINA In My Mind"... great clip though!
