Alison Krauss

I’m not a big fan of Bluegrass music, but I like some of it. For example, I like to listen to Alison Krauss sing When You Say Nothing At All in this 2002 concert video. The band is, of course, Union Station. The song was written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz and originally recorded by country music singer Keith Whitley. Krauss’ soprano voice does it justice.

Alison Krauss has studied fiddle since age 5, was winning local contests by age 10, and was recording at age 14. As of 2012 she has won 27 Grammy awards from 41 nominations, making her tied for the most awarded living recipient. She is the most awarded singer and most awarded female artist in Grammy history.
