Alison Krauss is a bluegrass virtuoso who effortlessly bridges the gap
between roots music and country, rock and pop. A highly sought after
collaborator, Krauss has worked with some of the biggest names in
popular music, including James Taylor, Phish,
Dolly Parton,
Yo-Yo Ma and
Bonnie Raitt. Since signing with Rounder
Records at the age of 14, Krauss has sold over 12 million albums and
won 27 Grammy Awards, the most for any female and the second most of
any recording artist in Grammy history. Her work on such films as
Cold Mountain (2003) and
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
has contributed immeasurably to a renaissance in American roots music.
Her latest album - recorded with her longstanding bandmates, Union
Station - is the endlessly impressive Paper Airplane, which debuted at
#1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass and Folk Album charts upon its
release.
