FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 1, 2005 "RESTLESS," THE FIRST SINGLE FROM GOLD-CERTIFIED ALBUM 'LONELY RUNS BOTH WAYS' (ROUNDER RECORDS), CRACKS COUNTRY TOP 40
FIRST TWO MONTHS OF U.S. TOUR DATES SELL OUT ACROSS THE BOARD
Lonely may run both ways, but Alison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas only go up. After shipping over 500,000 copies and then being certified gold by the RIAA less than a month after release, the group's latest album for Rounder Records continues its breakout success in '05. "Restless," the first single off the 'Lonely Runs Both Ways' cd is rapidly scaling the country radio charts, breaking the Top 40 this week, coming in at #39 with a bullet. The "Restless" video has also cracked the Top 10 at CMT.
And now there's word that the the first two months of Alison Krauss and Union Station's 2005 tour - eighteen dates total - have all sold out, making it their fastest-selling tour ever. Alison Krauss and Union Station's Lonely Runs Both Ways Tour is sponsored by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.
Stay tuned for news on more Alison Krauss and Union Station tour dates, and more evidence of their upward trajectory.
Isn't that GREAT?!?! I am so happy for them! Rock on guys!!!!

What's funny about the success with "Restless" is that for most people that have listened to the entire album, it is not the best song on it by any means. I think its good, and I know they have to promote off the video, but it would not be my first choice to push on the radio charts...maybe others will follow. The problem is AKUS is so unique and radio stations don't feel like the songs fit in genre.
Anyway, I do see that "Restless" is # 30 in Knoxville at WIVK and #34 in Memphis at WGKX this week.
