I've been a serious music fan since junior high (over 40 years, ugh). Many live recordings that I've bought have been less than expected. This is not the case with Live-Alison Krauss; it does not disappoint. The content and performance are excellent; a great mix of popular and less familiar songs. The instumentals are clean, and balanced well with the vocals. Neither overpowers the other. The recording is outstanding. Vocals, fiddle, and dobro come through crystal clear, but not tinny or harsh. My old Klipsch Forte speakers, with horn midrange and tweeters, seem to be custom made for this CD. It's rare that I own a CD that I can sit and listen to from start to finish, especially a two CD set. With Live-Alison Krauss, it's a pleasure; nothing to skip over.
I'm used to hearing Alison Krauss & Union Station in single song increments on the radio and a few rare appearances on television. I was anxious to have an album where I could enjoy her in quantity, so to speak. I assumed that this album would be like most...I'd really love one or two numbers, sort of like a few more, feel noncommittal about several and even not like one or two. I was thrilled to find that this album is the exception to all those in my collection...I really love most of the numbers and really like the rest a lot. There is music to suit every frame of mind and all are guaranteed to put you in a good mood if you weren't already. If you're a fan of Alison and her band, this album will be one of your favorites of all time. Guaranteed!
This is a great double-cd - I love live music. I only really bought it because I loved the Plant/Krauss 'Raising Sand' cd I bought last year and 'The Grammys' reminded me about it. Apart from 'Moments Like This' off the Twister soundtrack I didn;t have any other of their music. It's worth it just for Jerry Douglas's superb Dobro playing. Apart from the great bluegrass there's a great, and surprising, cover of the Foundations 'Baby, Now That I've Found You' and 'When You Say Nothing At All' which I knew as a Ronan Keating song off Notting Hill!! Not any more!!
