About

For Alison Krauss, musical collaboration has been a way of life. Her own story has been nothing short of amazing: signed to Rounder Records as a 13-year-old fiddler from Champaign, Illinois, she has, over two decades with the label, become the most recognized face in contemporary bluegrass, a critically acclaimed artist who has brought modern sophistication to the genre while respecting its traditions, and stretching beyond bluegrass to accompany pop, country, and rock & roll. She has also sold upwards of 10 million records and garnered 21 Grammy® Awards, the most for any female artist in Grammy® history.

On November 11th Krauss will release a new DVD, A Hundred Miles or More: Live From The Tracking Room. The DVD features Krauss, one of the purest and most original voices in American music, performing songs from her critically acclaimed solo album A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection with members of her highly-regarded band Union Station and special guest musicians. It also features memorable duets with country superstar Brad Paisley, legendary singer/songwriter James Taylor, British rocker John Waite, and an infectious take on "Sawing on the Strings" with bluegrass guitar legend Tony Rice and musicians Sam Bush and Stuart Duncan joining Union Station.

Originally taped as a GAC television special, this DVD is set in a recording studio environment to re-create the making of many of the tracks from A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection. The DVD offers an intimate look at how Krauss works in the studio environment. Featured is the single "Simple Love," written by Sarah Siskind (who also penned "Goodbye Is All We Have," recorded by Krauss on her 2004 CD Lonely Runs Both Ways). Guest musicians Gordon Mote (piano) and Abraham Laboriel Sr. (bass) join Krauss for this very special performance. Also included are a soulful slow-dance tempo duet of Don Williams' "Lay Down Beside Me" with Rounder Records label-mate John Waite, a reprise of the CMA "Vocal Event of the Year"-winning "Whiskey Lullaby," performed by Krauss and Brad Paisley, an exquisite rendering of the Louvin Brothers' classic "How's the World Treating You" with James Taylor, and the newly recorded, previously unreleased, "Shadows" gleaned from Tony Rice's catalog and featuring him on guitar.

A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection, which was certified Gold in October of 2007, gathered on one elegantly understated disc several previously released collaborations with such artists and friends as Paisley, Waite, Taylor, Natalie MacMaster and The Chieftains, along with songs she cut for the films Cold Mountain, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and an "inspired by" album for the animated The Prince Of Egypt. Krauss also recorded and produced four new tracks for the CD, including "Simple Love" and "Jacob's Dream." With 16 songs, A Hundred Miles or More gracefully balances the new with the familiar to form a vivid portrait of this adventurous artist, chronicling the places she's been and showcasing the hauntingly beautiful solo work Krauss is now making. A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection follows her previous compilation, the multi-Platinum Now That I've Found You: A Collection, which remains Rounder's all time best selling album.
