That's really a tough question. Alison's voice blends so beautifully with any artist. I have a recording somewhere of her doing a duet with James Taylor with "The Boxer" live, and that was really amazing. But I guess that wouldn't really count, huh? "How's The World Treating You" is a beautiful performance! But I guess if I had to pick only one, it'd be "Whiskey Lullabye". She and Brad made a great duet. Plus, the lyrics were very Alison (that kind of sounds like a bad thing.. but it's really not! I think you all know what I mean??), and everything they did with the song was perfect. Ok, I'm finished rambling. But my choice is WL.
I don't think I've heard of "Three Bells". If anyone catches a recording of it, I'd be really really excited if it got sent to me (hint, hint). LOL! J/k.

Whiskey Lullaby is great, and the ONLY akus song that I've heard played on the local country station here in LA...and only one time at that! My requests to the station always seem in vain. There are a few other collaborations that I've heard recently...tho' Alison is only singing harmony...she adds so much. Cian Tourish's "Are You Tired of Me Darling?", John Prine's "My Darling Hometown", and Dierk Bentley's "Good Things Happen"... I think her harmony could make even me sound good...

I guess I would pick "Undying Love" with Peter Rowan. If we are including backup harmony as collaborations I would throw in Rhonda Vincent and "Artificial Tears" . I also love and play the Shania Twain Special songs all the time not because I like Shania, but because of the great backup by Alison and all the guys.

Doug, I have not heard that song, but did get to see Peter Rowan this past month, and my what a bass player he has. Her name is Gena Britt, and she can make that bass talk. Will see her in May at a workshop at the bluegrass festival. houseghost

Hey Wildbill, when you say LA, do you mean the state?
Oh! I love all these duets, well the ones I've hear, and akusgal, I totally get what you are saying and agree, because that's the song Alison does best with, in my opinion!
Anothe collaboration I love is 'Somewhere In The Vicinity of the heart'!!!!!! I love that song and video!!!!! Alison sings sooooo well!!!!

Oh gosh, I can't believe I forgot about that song!! Ok, I changed my mind (haha.. that's completely out of the ordinary..). My favorite is "Somewhere In the Vicinity of the Heart".
Thanks for posting the song, Doug! Very gorgeous.

Can I ask, where are you posting this at?? Thanks! I did hear the live version, and that sounded great, but that was earlier.
I LOVE 'SWITVOTH' It is SOOO good!! Whiskey Lullabye is still up there though!! They are both tied!!

haha! Woo, ok darling, follow me here. You know that site you were on where you could download all those songs? Well, Doug put up (posted) that live version of "Undying Love" on that site.
Yeah, both really are amazing. I think both songs move me in a different way, so it's a toughie. Gosh, are there any two songs that Alison is a part of where I can choose one over the other?

If anyone has any song NOT on any of Alison's CDs (I have them all)and can put it into an mp3 format (NOT m4p or any other format, can't open them)please email me first to see if I already have it, then kindly send it over! I was thinking of, "How's The World Treating You", "Whiskey Lullaby", "Get Me Through December", "She's Got You", "Sitting In The Window Of My Room", "You(?)" with Bonnie Raitt, "Never Grow Old" with Rickey Wasson, "Half A Mind", "Three Bells", "John Deere Tractor", the song from Bambi II, or any other rare songs from collaborations or soundtracks. Much thanks in advance!!!!!(turboranch1997 at yahoo......)
