Hello, Fellow AKUS fans!!! I'm brand new to this message board, but a long time fan of Alison Krauss and Union Station. I have been listening to Alison since I was about 23 years old (about 12 years), and I continue to be fascinated by her musical talents.
I was raised up on Bluegrass considering my roots are from a very rural part of Kentucky. My father listened to Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs. When I was a child, I loved the music, but was not a fan of the twangy vocals of some of the older bluegrass vocalists. When I started listening to Alison Krauss, my opinion of Bluegrass music changed entirely.
For 12 years, I have been a die hard fan. When I first started really listening to AKUS, I was travelling on the road about 1000 miles a week. I had just bought her "Now that I've Found You" Collection CD and literally wore the CD out!!!! Since that time, I have purchased all of Alison's CDs, and her DVD from the Louisville Pallace concert. I am going to see Alison again in concert at the Fox Theater in Atlanta on April 9th and absolutely can't wait!!! This will be the third time I have seen her in concert. The first time I went was at the Louisville Pallace where they shot the DVD. I was BLOWN AWAY!!! I left the concert feeling light on my feet. I have never experienced anything musically as magnificent in my entire life. The second time, I took my mother to see AKUS at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on Valentines day in 2004. The Nashville Chamber Orchestra played some of the instrumentals. It was a little piece of heaven.
Well..I've rambled long enough. I wanted to introduce myself and share my experiences with my love of Alison Krauss's musical talents. It's fun to read all of the messages on the board.
Natalie, my hat is off to you for creating such wonderful website. I truly enjoy it.
I'll let you all know the outcome of this Saturday's concert at the Fox in Atlanta. I'm pumped!!!!
Kind Regards...
