So Long So Wrong by Krauss, Alison So I came home looked on line and there it was. I looked in local stores here in Hawaii, could not find this CD. One week later I had it. Great seller, I would buy again.
Good foot tapping proper country.
Ideal for those who can't abide the sacharine (sic) style of bland pop/country that eminates from Nashville these days. A good solid listen. I've actually heard two of the songs on other compilations. I didn't find it as lively or fresh as other Krauss/Union Station albums I've got. I'm waiting on "Forget about it" so the comparison will be interesting. Definitely one to add to your collection.
So long, So wrong is So GOOD !!!
I had never heard it before. I am a big Allison Krause fan and when I stumbled across a copy of So Long, So Wrong in a used CD store I bought it. When I listened to it, I thought it fantastic!!! I have since bought several copies as gifts for family and friends. This is musical brilliance!!! Anyone that even is slightly interested in Bluegrass and/or Allison Krause will love this CD.
So Long, So Wrong
Her delivery of a song and her wide range of vocals are just about impossible to beat. Absolutely fantastic CD. She is incredible and sings like an angel.
ALISONS ANTIDEPRESSASNTS PART2
The same feelings apply here but I also have a couple of criticisms which need mentioning. Please see my review about the 3LP box set of the live concert for my very positive feedback about the Mobile Fidelity Gain2 system and how it brings out new dimensions in Alison's voice. First I have to fault Mobile Fidelity for choosing this album to bring out along side the live recording. While I agree that this is one of AKUS best albums musically, the fidelity of the original studio recording is VASTLY inferior to her most recent two albums "LONELY RUNS BOTH WAYS"
and especially the most recent "100 MILES or MORE. I don't mean to be too much of an "audiophile snob" (as my girlfriend calls me). It seems to me that the issue of spending $40-65 dollars on these products when the same music can be had on a used disc for 5 dollars (or 50 cents in someones yard sell) is an issue for us audiophile snobs-an issue of format and vinyl vs. digital comparison. The live album is about as good a recording as concert hall recordings get but still nothing like a top notch studio recording. Neither of these LP's show the full potential what this system could really due for Alison's voice which would probably be beyond Hubble telescope range with 100 MILES or MORE-as good a studio recording as it gets. As much as I am cherishing these LP's and consider them worthy of the title of the reviews-I can't help moping a little about that. The problems I mentioned with recording level in the other review are even more severe here. There seems to also be excessive fade between the soft and loud parts of the song on "DEEPER THAN CRYING' one of my favorites-in particular. Maybe they were working out the bugs on this new mastering system.
