Wow, it does follow "Wild Night" perfectly. Good seque, BillG!
This is a GREAT band. Allison too, of course.
Entering test scores at my University and just found out I can type "proficiency" proficiently to the beat of 'The Hayride!!!
Fantastic track- True musicians!

Jerry Douglas may be the best slide player there ever was. Not just technique, but grace.

Jerry Douglass is mentioned. Lets not overlook the awesome talent of Mr. Block, or any of the other amazing individuals she is always surrounded by.
Glad to see some support here. Its hard to knock an artist who has been at it so long, and put into perspective- (Opinion) the low point in her career has been touring and recording with Robert Plant. (Go ahead, flame away!)
But they had fun.
Give her a fiddle, (or a mandolin) put her in front of a mic, shuttup and listen. A true audio blessing is sure to follow.
"Yes-mam" and "Ya'll"
..........by a woman blessed by the triple threat of instrumental perfection, angelic vocal chords and impressive management experience from an extremely young age.............

Not understanding the inferred connection between mental inability and this virtuoso performance by a woman blessed by the triple threat of instrumental perfection, angelic vocal chords and impressive management experience from an extremely young age. Is this something akin to an editorial cartoon from two centuries ago typifying people as having simian traits due solely to skin tone?
Funny how so many RP listeners (not necessarily Kdubba) defend any imagined slight and fawn over "world music" as being extremely important culturally (as it is), and then think of the inventive, tough, sustaining and close-to-nature culture of rural America as somehow unworthy and ignorant.
Sorry Kdubba - you probably only meant to be funny. As a proud and respectful product of rural culture, the duplicity that rears its head all too often on RP is an injustice hot button for me.
So endeth the sermon

They were a great band before they added Jerry Douglas. Now they're just plain 'mazin'.
I was worried this would be an exercise in maddening, plodding frustration like "Choctaw Bingo". I am SO glad to be wrong this time.

Curious, the opening section of this song (with the chordal progressions and particularly the opening guitar melody) REALLY reminded me of a Mark Knopfler song which has also received lot of play on RP recently. Wonder if Knopfler was listening to this album before he composed his song?... ;)
(not complaining, I like both songs)

Union Station with leading man Dan Tyminsky are really top notch! Gotta love it!!

Well I think it is some great musicianship. Of to iTunes to buy it. 
Every time I get a chance to tune in lately I seemingly hit a vein of country, twang or picking...ewww!
Back to iTunes...

Her initial claim to mame was for fiddling, not singing.She was a bigtime contest winner as a kid. She hets PLENTY of respect for her playing,don't worry about that.

The opening songs on disc 2, A Tribute to Peador O'Donnell/Monkey Let the Hogs Out followed by The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn, are just incredible. That combo deserves to be on the playlist. My volume goes to 11 for those, no matter where I am.
Kickass. If you like this get the live album. Outstanding.

Jerry Douglas rips this up in the live version, hard to believe a human can move that fast.
Alison Krauss did some music on her own and I know I heard her say that she does not like the attention she got as a solo ist. I think that she fits really well with Union Station, they make amazing music! I hope they never stop!

9. The live version gets a 10, because there's no chance they overdubbed it. What an outstanding group of musicians. Each member deserves a solo career of his/her own.
Out-freakin'-standing!
What is it with her?
She seems immune to Murphy's Law.
And Murphy was an optimist!

Saw her with this whole group up here in NH last Fall - what a show.
All I can say whenever I hear this song: "Got-DAMN!"

That's Jerry Douglas on the Dobro, and sitting on Alison's left.

(Slaps knee) This is pretty cool!!
Thanks for playing some bluegrass adds to the variety we all have already come to love!
This kind of music reminds me of Robert Plant.
I wonder why?
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAHA!
I'm a little too New Yawk to like this.,.....
Can't wait to hear this one again........
Thought it's a track from Douglas, Barenberg & Meyer...it's not...but it's GREAT 
...walking that last set right outta the sh*t. never heard this, but yeah, great change of pace!!!
man! this is so sweet!
Awesome, toe-tappin' stuff!
Ah....the beautiful, oh-so-mysterious Allison. And those other guys ain't bad either!
Awesome tune. I'm a major fan of these guys.
I got to know Alison and the band through R.P.,tonight I was in another room(decorating 
)When I heard Jerry Douglas's guitar.I had to come through and check,and sure enough it was him.Instantly recognisable tone.Now with electric players....Clapton,Kossof,Hendrix Knopfler et all fair enough,but Douglas plays an ACOUSTIC instrument.That guy has magic in his fingers.

I love to hear Alison's fiddle. Her voice is so lovely, her fiddle playing doesn't get the attention it deserves. I think it has something of her singing voice in it.
Best rhythm fiddle player on the planet.

ease up on the eye make up. You are a good looking woman without it.
One of my favourite artists of all time. Alison Krauss is just one of the most talented musicians. And it doesn't stop just there, Union Station is incredible. I'm still waiting for when they come to Europe again.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it when words don't get in the way of great music.
cool...

Now this is why I listen to Radio Paradise. Being a limey I know nothing of Alison Krauss and very little about Bluegrass, now I do.
She's worthy of export, that's for sure. She was featured on the soundtracks of Twister, O Brother Where Art Thou, and Cold Mountain. She and her band are wonderful.
AKUS Albums: I've Got That Old Feeling;Two Highways
Every Time You Say Goodbye;So Long, So Wrong;New Favorite;Lonely Runs Both Ways
It's a pleasure to hear bluegrass on RP, especially anything by Alison Krauss.
Cab we please hear more of Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas? Alison and Union Station are great live musicians!!!
Fantastic!

With Jerry Douglas producing and playing resophonic guitar, this AK&US number rocks. There are others out there worthy of airplay on RP. Let's try and hear more?

That would probably be Mr. Jerry Douglas.
These people put on a great show. I'm not generally a bluegrass fan, but man, did I have fun listening to them.
The dobro player (whose name escapes me, but he's well-known and widely regarded as among the best) did probably a twenty-minute solo while the rest of the band left the stage. It was just jaw-dropping. When the band came back on (also draggin' their jaws), one of the guys looked at Mr. Dobro, and then at the crowd, and said, "That's not as hard as it looks."
Brought the house down.
This is outstanding! Thanx Bill! 
Sweet as honey!
Sweet as honey!Many thanks to Bill for adding some Bluegrass to the mix, Alison Kraus especially. The musicianship is superb! Wonderful instrumental. I'd love to hear more bluegrass in the mix.
Now this is why I listen to Radio Paradise. Being a limey I know nothing of Alison Krauss and very little about Bluegrass, now I do.

Really don't know much about Jerry or this genre, but he was on a brilliant album--"Skip, Hop and Wobble"--with two other bluegrass geniuses. I think RP plays a track or two from the work.
