Now That I've Found You: A Collection (CD)

In the '90s, no contemporary artist loomed larger in the world of bluegrass than Alison Krauss. With her group Union Station, the young singer/fiddler (who began as a child prodigy) spent the decade bringing traditional bluegrass roots into the mainstream of country music, garnering numerous Grammys in the process. She was the youngest artist ever to become a member of the Grand Old Opry, and she inspired scads of young musicians to help carry on the bluegrass torch. When the genre really hit the mainstream at the turn of the century with the O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU soundtrack, Krauss was right at the heart of it, contributing memorable cuts to the album, while her guitarist Dan Tyminski entered into legend as the singer on the breakthrough hit "Man of Constant Sorrow."

Rolling Stone (4/20/95, p.80) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...A crystalline soprano, [Alison Krauss] sings with riveting emotion--and no melodrama whatsoever. This set--her six albums' best cuts plus collaborations with other new-grass luminaries--gives up delicate wonders..."
Q (9/95, p.131) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...a leisurely stroll through her back catalogue, a catalogue so eclectic it contains startling re-workings of almost everything from the Beatles' `I Will' to The Foundations' `Baby, Now That I've Found You,' all done in a Smokey Mountain style with affection and much TLC..."
Journal Of Country Music (Vol.18, No.1, pp.52-54) - "...The summation-to-date of Krauss's most accessible bluegrass sides....[has] taken rock & roll material by widely varied acts...and rather than play them as novelty items, Krauss wrings every bit of emotion out of them..."

"Baby, Now That I've Found You" won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.

Since her Rounder debut in 1987, Alison Krauss has been praised by critics and country music fans alike. Revitalizing traditional styles of country music including bluegrass, the singer and fiddler is the focus of much public attention. Her unique, yet firmly-rooted approach to country music has won her several Grammys.

Her 1995 release, NOW THAT I'VE FOUND YOU, showcases her ability to shine in a variety of settings. The title track and "Broadway" find Krauss in a more pop country environment; however even her pop music is unique in its smart harmonic structure, and her ability to avoid pat or stock poetic devices. On "Tonight I'll Be Lonely Too," Krauss and Union Station (her almost constant musical companions) switch to a decidedly bluegrass feel, and on "When God Dips His Pen of Love In My Heart," she plunges into a Southern gospel style with help from the Cox Family. Alison Krauss has the remarkable ability to make these diverse musical directions seem logical and congruent.
