Great reaction but I have the impression that you may not be aware that the song that brought you here, "Man of Constant Sorrow", was actually performed by this group and in the movie George Clooney was merely lip-synching. Here’s a live performance, and the singer is Dan Tyminski: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6l-mtp-cty7lpc.html

It's one of those performances where the absence of emoting and over-singing only highlights the heart-rending meaning of the words and the perfect synergy of words and music. After hearing it many times, I still can't get through it without weeping.

I had the pleasure of seeing Alison Krauss and Union Station live several years ago and trust me, her vocals live are more magnificent than any studio performance. I literally had goosebumps during the entire concert. She just stepped up to the microphone and let that beautiful voice come out effortlessly. Truly a gift from God.

She is that good.

It's the strings and the voice combination; they are both strings. Oh I love Alison Krauss!

When You Say Nothing At All by her is absolutely beautiful.

Alison Krauss was an award-winning fiddle player as a teenager before she formed her band and cut her first album. (BTW, I've been to three of her concerts, one of them in a little up-close-and-personal club where you could really hear her - and she really does sing that perfectly on key and beautifully. She is as nice a person as she seems on stage too.

Thank you! I Love Union Station and Alison Krauss, who has been one of my musical idols most of my life! I like your set!

Alison Krause is pitch perfect, and has incredible breath control. Listen to her sing.When You Say Nothing At All. Also listen to Rhiannon Giddens: Wayfaring Stranger. For Country I love Johnny Cash, and all the songs on the album for the movie about him Walk The Line are great, but especially God Will Cut You Down sung by him when he was old and sick. One of the reasons that I like Country in all its forms is that you can listen to real musicians, and artists who can sing and also play an instrument. One of the best guitarists is Vince Gill. Give a listen to Tulsa Time with him, Sheryl Crow, and Eric Clapton, and Vince alone with Go Rest High On That Mountain. Oh, almost forgot: Linda Ronstadt with Blue Bayou.

Jerry Douglas, Ron Block, Barry Bales, Larry Atamanuik, and Dan Tyminski are absolute professionals, the best in the business, and Alison Krauss just tops it off at the supreme amount of talent this band has! They are one of my go to's when it comes to listening to great music. One of my all time favorites, which is a cover from the band Shenandoah, is "Ghost In The House". The live version of that is spectacular! Also, Alison's work with greats like Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, and Led Zeppelin's rock god Robert Plant just cement her as one of the keystones of music and musical talent!

Billy Strings for some incredible bluegrass music and strings playing. Also, checkout Alison's music with Robert Plant (formerly of Led Zeppelin).

Alison Krauss has been singing on stage since she was little.

Part of the beauty of this music is that it's home grown, you can picture these people playing this song just as easily sitting on their front porch!

She does sing studio. Crazy. I like your thing dude, it brings us all closer.

Couldn't agree with you more. Don't get me started on Alison Krauss. What an angel. Beautiful soloist and harmonizes well with anybody. She did an album called Raising Sand with Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin fame. Fantastic album. Bluegrass is where it's at. Beautiful melodies and harmonies, and musicianship second to none. Great post. p.s.- The song "Freeborn Man" would be a great follow up.

Yes and I could come up with 10 names easy that could replace Brad Paisley and do just as well or better, can not say the same for Allison, no one comes close.

They did the soundtrack for "OH Brother Where Art Thou". I have been lucky enough to see them live in concert twice in Oregon. Watch the whole video of Allison Krauss and Union Station live. It is amazing! ❤❤

She’s definitely live. You can hear her breath sounds in between. She sounds like an angel without any help which is wild in this day and age, I know. I love older country and always will because of the quality voices, the storytelling, music and so on.

Try Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs (also known as Flatt & Scruggs), Bill Monroe (one of the pioneers of Bluegrass), Ricky Scaggs, or Stanley Brothers.

Alison Krause has the most perfect voice ever. When she sings, the world stops. Watch her. No matter what she sings, it’s effortless. Exquisite! Listen to her version of “Losing You”. Also, listen to “A Man Of Constant Sorrpw” by Brothers of the Heart!

Alison is one of the lucky few -- Angelina Jordan, Sohyang, Aurora -- who sound even better in live performances than in studio.

She was also on the soundtrack for O Brother Where Art Thou. She sings Down to the River to Pray. You might also want to listen to Nickel Creek’s music. They are also bluegrass singers.

The vibrato in her voice is one of the best in music, across all genres in my opinion.

She's actually on the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack -- Down to the River to Pray

The Voice of an Angel

Been round for ever Allison is an Icon

She did a duet with Andrea Bocelli of Amazing Grace that will make you cry. Allison did one with Natalie MacMaster called “Get me thru December.” This came out after I lost my children at Christmas and didn’t think I would survive it. God walked with me.

Alison Krauss has been a favorite of mine for a long time. There’s so many great bluegrass bands: Ralph Stanley, Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Boys, Tony Rice, Sam Bush, Rhonda Vincent, JD Crowe & New South, Del McCoury, the Seldom Scene, the Country Gentleman, Ricky Skaggs, Bela Fleck…a lot of these artists play together in different bands. Some of these artists are deceased, but left a legacy of great music. You can find a lot of them on KZread. I’ve been a bluegrass fan for a really long time and I keep discovering new bands. Enjoy your search!

Allison has one of the purest voices ever.

The producer of the "O Brother Where At Thou?" soundtrack was T Bone Burnett who produced both albums with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Their first album, Raising Sand, swept the Grammys in 2009.

One of her most overlooked songs is Jacob's Dream. Vocals will blow your mind.

Hi Polo ! This is the band that played in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou" Get the dvd Alison Krauss and Union Station all live and all excellent ! Alison is a gift from God ! an ugly duckling that became a goddess !

In the movie O Brother Where Art Thou, the bluegrass family singing/playing are the Cox Family. I went to high school with that family in the 80’s in Cotton Valley, Louisiana. Alison Kraus got that band signed and big and has remained friends with them since. Alison regularly comes to visit our little town and she sang at one of the band members sons wedding two years ago.

In reacent years Allison Krauss has teamed up with Led Zeppelins Robert Plant for a couple albums and tours! I think you will like it!

I saw Alison Krauss live once, in 2017 or 2018, and had the same reaction about the quality of her voice: when she began to sing, I expected to hear something less pristine than what I've heard from her on recordings ... it's live, after all. But there it was: this impossibly crystal clear voice coming at us in such high beauty it was almost too much to bear.

AKUS are amazing!! Some of the finest musicians in music! Please listen to their song, “If I Didn’t Know Any Better”. The swells of voices and harmony in this song are mind blowing.

One of my wife's favorites - I got 4th row seats at Merriweather for her birthday, Jerry was guest appearing on dobro then too. A lovely evening.

That group Union Station are some the not only best bluegrass, but best overall musicians, in the world. So Damn Good!!!

Well now, you need to know that Alison Krauss sang in "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?; when the sirens were washing clothes down at the creek, that was Alsion singing! Alison has been performing some Led Zeppelin songs with Robert Plant for a few years now. They sing very well together; start with "Black Dog". Alison is a fine violin player too.

You need to check who the members of the band are. They are all people at the TOP of their trade. This is a Super Group! Some actually played on the sound track for " Where art thou".

I was just listening to Alison Kraus and Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby. When you posted this... Yes I have always loved Alison Kraus. She is true blue grass.

Allison Krauss and union stations people performed a lot of the O'Brother where art though soundtrack.

My parents played in a bluegrass band when I was growing up and I was fortunate enough to meet a lot of great bluegrass musicians union station being one of them

my dad used to get her up on stage to perform with his bluegrass band in the early 80s. Her parents would bring her down to the festivals (she grew up about an hour north of us). She was amazing even at an early age, a true gem.

Allison Krause is a National Treasure

I have said exactly the same thing. I saw Alison and Union Station during this tour, and he is absolutely correct. They are perfect every time. You might as well be listening to an album. But, they have been playing together since Alison was 14 years old. She and Dan met each other when they were 14, and I've seen a video of her playing with Barry when they were both so young!

Such a beautiful voice! When most people first hear Alison sing, their thought is 'she sounds like an angel'. I couldn't agree more. Listen to her song Jacob's Dream. Very haunting, beautiful and based on a true story.

I’ve seen Alison in person many times. That voice is real! She sings like an angel with ease. She sounds just like this video, in person. You are New Grass Revival is great bluegrass. It’s not a band anymore. John Cowan has a very unique voice. Sam Bush is great check this out. You are pronouncing her last name wrong. It rhymes with House. !Listen to “A Ghost in this house” Talk about chills! I’m surprised that you loved the movie.

Your so right she is soooo clean and precise...I cry when I listen to this song...long time fan if hers ..you found someone special here sir...well done.

I also love Alison's work with Robert Plant !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I second the suggestion of doing Whiskey Lullaby. Hauntingly beautiful and with a story that sticks with you for life.

If Bluegrass had royalty Alison Krauss' family would be royalty...I saw her and her family sing years ago when she was 12/13yrs old...a banner day...sitting on a hill, having a picnic and listening to outstanding music...ps, this is my favorite song of hers for personal reasons

The most beautiful song is Alison singing "River In The Rain." Union Station sang for the Soggy Bottom Boys in OH Brother Where Art Thou.

Her and Vince Gill have the sweetest voices. The duets she does with him are perfect. Might I suggest Go Rest High on that Mountain.

One of my absolute favorite songs by her along with "Ghost In This House". She's truly incredible!

She is incredible in person

I love her collaborations with Robert Plant. Bonus Round for sure.

Her breath work is amazing!

She's amazing, and Union Station is amazing.

Saw her in Indy twice and second time got to meet Alison and her band Union station in late 90s.

She sang “ Down by the River to pray” in O Brother where Art Thou. “

Oh brother where art thou is a fantastic movie and you're right about the music!

My silly butt requested you react to Alison without realizing you'd done this one 🤓 Whiskey Lullaby is a duet with Brad Paisley that shouldn't be missed IMO. Really enjoy your channel. Greetings and well wishes from Oregon.

She is the Best.

Alison got her start as a very young girl in the bluegrass seen and progressed into country music and has made many many albums. She also made a few albums with Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant which I thought was a crazy pair but was wildly amazed at the music they made together.

Alison is my favorite.!

Heart melting sweetness

Alison Krauss & Union Station did a lot of the music in O Brother Where Art Thou

Alison in my opinion has 1 of the best voices Ever!!!

There are dozens of great bluegrass artists old and new - it’s my favorite genre of music and has been for years. Anything by AKUS will be stellar. One of my current favorites that has a video is “Hannah” by Authentic Unlimited. An all-time favorite that is just audio is “The Mountain” by Ronnie Bowman. That song is like a bluegrass string orchestra with great harmonies backing one of the best male vocalists ever.

I saw her and Union Station in 1994 and in 2023 with Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin). Check out anything from Raising Sand or Raise the Roof. The two albums they did together. Both Grammy winners.

02:29 That is the definition of a 27 Grammy Awards winner s voice!

2:30 that was my exact thought the first time I heard her. If there are angels, they have to sound like Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss, EmmyLou Harris and Gillian welch sang "Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby" from Oh Brother Where Art Thou.

Vince Gill started in pop and he writes beautiful songs, incredible guitarist. His voice is so beautiful and smooth. He had success in pop but loves his Country music because of story telling. He wrote a song when his brother passed. "Go rest high on the mountain" it gives you goosebumps and a tear. ❤️

Polo. I totally fell in love with Alison Krause in mid 1994, when I heard Alison for the first time. She and the Union Station were performing on a program called " Austin City Limits"- I said the same thing as you: "She has an angelic voice. :-) I still love her. :-) p.s. She has had some vocal cord problems, over the years. Think she is OK now. I know you love her too. :-)

I know exactly why it moves you, bro. While this is on a stage in an auditorium with mics and amps, they could play this in your living room or on your patio. It's the reality and purity of the wonderful musicicianship that hits you in the soul. Hope that makes sense. Appreciate your reactions, man. Hope that makes

She and Union Station are awesome in concert!

I went to see O Brother Where Art Thou and people were singing along with all the old songs that I knew. I went directly to the music store and bought the soundtrack! My dad was from Tennessee so I grew up with country music. He and mom played guitars and their friends played guitar and piano. We lived in tiny towns growing up and they played for dances locally.
