说到Alison Krauss就不能不提兰草音乐.兰草音乐(Blue Grass),一种精致的,纯正的,原汁原味的音乐,很容易辨识。这种音乐有两三部和声,激烈的节奏,不受约束的情感。这"孤独而高亢"的声音产生于20年代末的"弦乐运动"(String-band Movement),成名在来源于创始者Bill Monroe的乐队"兰草男孩"(The Blue Grass Boys),兰草音乐被Bonnie Clyde,The Beverly Hillbillies在60年代末极力推动,赢得了一批全新的听众.今天,兰草音乐仍保持者极高的影响力,象著名乡村音乐人Alison Krauss就是一列。Alison出生于1971年7月23日Champaign, IL16岁发行第一张个人专辑就立刻成为乐评家的最爱,18岁首获得葛莱美奖,11项葛莱美奖和无数乡村音乐奖项得主,蓝草音乐的发扬者.然而真正使她声名鹊起的却是今天我向大家推荐的《Now That I’ve Found You:A Collection》
Alison Krauss is a multi award winner of the Grammys, Country Music Association, International Bluegrass Music Association, and others.Her discography includes 11 cds, and appear on various soundtracks and compilations, and a number of videos.
A poll-winning fiddler since her teens, Alison Krauss was an established bluegrass star when her label persuaded her to step out from her usual projects with Union Station, her crack band, and sanction this compilation of various band and solo guest performances. The ploy worked, yielding a wonderful, odds-beating crossover hit with Krauss’s cover of "Baby, Now That I’ve Found You," a carousing late-’60s pop chant transformed into a delicate, vulnerable declaration of love. Focusing on Krauss’s lovely, yearning soprano, the track elevated the musician above her resolutely democratic role in her quintet, catapulting Krauss to the biggest bluegrass success story in over 30 years. Krauss has stayed true to her bluegrass roots, as well as to Union Station, but this cross-section of contemporary bluegrass songs, joyous gospel, and canny rock covers testifies to the young artist’s luminous appeal.
