Vehicle For Dissertation

Books I read, music I hear...My imperious opinion on both.

Alison Krauss - Now That I've Found You


A conversation with a friend brought this album to my always-searching-for-music-I-might-like consiousness. I heard one of her songs on FolkAlley.com recently which reminded me to look up one of her albums and see if it was available from my favorite source. And it was. Of course I got this one in preference to a newer album because of the recommendation from the said friend.

I really didn't quite know what to expect as I had heard virtually nothing of her (yes, the one song on FolkAlley). This of course, is a collection, and from '95 at that. So her sound my have changed in this span of 10 years. I'm rather ignorant despite the fact that she is a rather well known personage.

Anyway...enough of that. My evaluation was at first quite mixed. I liked the first track but the second quickly jarred me out of that pleasent feeling, and so on. After more listening I have decided that I like it best when she sings low and soft. In that character her voice reminds me of Nichole Nordeman, who's singing I like rather well in general.

After more listening I have selected a few tracks to present as my choice favorites, as usual...

The middle pick is the previously unreleased Broadway. My third choice, I Will and the best of all (maybe)...
In the Palm of Your Hand

If you want to hear the others that I liked fairly well and those that I didn't like (Oh, Atlanta), you click this link to Barnes&Noble or go to some other site. The links here open in Windows Media Player.
