Alison Krauss
Alison Krauss helped bring bluegrass to a new audience
in the '90s. Blending bluegrass with folk, Krauss was instantly acclaimed
from the start of her career, but it wasn't until her platinum-selling
1995 compilation Now That I've Found You that she became a mainstream
star. Between her 1987 debut Too Late to Cry and Now That I've Found You,
she matured from a child prodigy to a versatile, ambitious, and diverse
musician and, in the process, made some of the freshest bluegrass of the
late '80s and early '90s.
Too Late to Cry, Krauss' debut album, appeared in 1987 to very positive
reviews. The following year, the group won the Society for the Preservation
of Bluegrass in America's National Band Championship contest. In 1989,
Krauss and Union Station released Two Highways, which was nominated for
the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Recording. Although the album didn't
win the award, her next album, 1990's I've Got That Old Feeling, did.
The success of I've Got That Old Feeling was unprecedented for bluegrass
acts in the '80s and it laid the groundwork for Krauss' breakthrough in
the '90s.
In 1992, Alison Krauss & Union Station released Every Time You Say
Goodbye. The album appeared in the country charts and Krauss' videos were
shown on Country Music Television. I Know Who Holds Tomorrow was released
in 1994 and was even more successful. But it was the 1995 compilation
Now That I've Found You: A Collection that made Krauss a star. The album
reached number two on the country charts and -- even more remarkably --
went into the pop Top Ten and sold over a million copies. Its success
confirmed her status as bluegrass' leading light in the '90s. Krauss &
Union Station followed the unexpected success of Now That I've Found You
with So Long, So Wrong in the spring 1997. Forget About It followed in
mid-1999. A North American tour showcasing some of the album's stellar
musicians followed in summer 2002, allowing Krauss and her band's popularity
to soar. New Favorite appeared in November and went gold within four months.
A live album followed soon after, and in 2004 Krauss released Lonely Runs
Both Ways. A Hundred Miles or More, a collection drawn from Krauss' Rounder
albums, along with sides recorded for various soundtrack projects and
five previously unreleased tracks, appeared in 2007. ~ Stephen Thomas
