Thanks for the article, Doug. What it says holds my views and thoughts precisely. Like others have said, AKUS does not need the glammour or glitz that most 'popular' artists depend on. Alison and Union Station show real talent and prove that country and bluegrass music still holds a foundation which could never be replaced. Yes, so many listeners look for those that the media forces in young peoples lives (as well as older), but the continuing power and beauty in music will forever be shown with artists such as AKUS, Dolly Parton, and others that have always represented country and bluegrass music with their heads held high. The fact is, these artists never try to be more than they are (and more than what true listeners want), and in return they are awarded for all that they deserve. I can only imagine what the future holds for Alison, Barry, Dan, Jerry, and Ron... only more, and bigger.
