:-/We all know what Alison has sung-- now--- What do you wish you could hear her sing? I for one always thought she would do Peggy Lee songs great. (Send In The Clowns). Unfortunately Bette Midler got there first. Nothing against Bette Midler, she's great, but she just put an album out of Peggy Lee songs. I still daydream of Alison doing some of them. Who else? You ladies ( and gentleman) all seem to have a love of great music and a talent for it also. No boundries, any wild imagination goes. ;D ;D

That's a really neat question, houseghost. I've always liked "It Was Almost Like A Song". The lyrics are so sad, but gorgeous. I think AKUS could really make it awesome, personally. I've always liked old Dolly and Patsy songs, which Alison has already done. "Stand By Your Man" and "Till I Can Make It On My Own" would be kind of neat to hear an Alison version of. You asked for imagination, and some of that's pretty out there. hehe. Alison and Union Station are amazing musicians no matter how you look at it, so if you get pretty good lyrics, I think it's safe to say that it would sound good! I've never heard a question like that on a board, so thanks for a change. I think it'll be interesting to see what people say.
I just now heard a commercial with someone singing "Devil Went Down To Georgia".. now that would be interesting to hear from them! lol.

Oh my!! This is a tough question, I will think about it and get back to y'all! But I know there is a song where I was just sitting there, and was like, wow, this would be great for Alison! Actually, I would love to hear her sing one of my songs, that would be amazing!
That would actually be a great song for them! Alison would do so well on the fiddle!!! Great thinking akusgal, I would say that's what were looking for on this thread!

Very good question alright! Off the top of my ageing head, how about "You Needed Me" (Anne Murray) or "Talking in Your Sleep" from Crystal Gayle. I know they are classics in their own right from the original ladies but I'm sure Alison would do a wonderful version of those also. Martina McBride does a fine version of "Til I can Make it on my Own" on the Opry at Carnegie Hall show.

All great wishes, but I was thinking of tunes outside of country types. Maybe we could get Earline Pickens to suggest a few

Lol, maybe...
Well Alison said that Bonnie Raitt has influenced her, and I don't know any of her songs, so maybe it would be kind of cool to see Alison do one of her influences songs, I dunno!!

Wow, that was a great list!! See, I can't think of really anything that is not country, because I only listen to country. But one country song I though would be cool was, 'You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band' I dunno. That was a good list though!

Wow, you've got a pretty diverse music taste, Jason. All of the songs that you've listed I can imagine Alison doing. She never fails to shock me with the way she does songs, and I love that. I think the way she hears a song is very different than the original, meaning for some great listening.
The musicians listed I've listened to before.. and all are great. I think all but few I would enjoy hearing her do.
So non-country?? Hmm.. I guess I'm with akusfan. Bonnie Raitt has some amazing songs, and I'd love to hear those. Alison seems to be a huge fan as well, so that's a plus!
The majority of the music I listen to is country or bluegrass as well, so it's hard to pick a favorite outside of those genres. YES! "You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band" would be so much fun!

Yeah, it would be great to hear her do some Bonnie.
I would really like to hear Alison do, 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' She would sing that song so perfectly.

Alison did a great job singing "Angel from Montgomery" with Dolly and Bonnie on Women Rock. It would be great to hear her sing it again. If I had to pick a Bonnie song it would be "I can't make you love me." Even though it has been done over and over again, I think Alison could really add something to it.
