Friday Nite Video (Alison Krauss and Union Station)
Well folks, February is almost over. Three days left after today. This months videos have been about love. We had a pop star, a smoking hot diva and a old style crooner. I thought it would be fun to end this month with a different style of music. A good old fashioned country/bluegrass tune. Who would be a good artist to feature? How about that lady with the angelic voice Alison Krauss and her band Union Station. I've been a big fan of hers and the Union Station boys for quite some time now. Alison has a almost haunting voice and she can hang with any of them. She started taking classical violin lessons at the tender age of five and later discovered she preferred the fiddle and the bluegrass sound (sheew) and changed her style. As she grew she won contests and awards for her fiddling and singing. In 1987, she released her debut album at the age of 16 with the Union Station boys as her backup titled To Late To Cry. It was a immediate hit and today at this point she has released 11 albums and won 26 Grammy awards. She has also done songs for numerous movie soundtracks including one of my favorite movies O Brother, Where Art Thou. One of my favorite Alison Krauss songs is the remake she did of the late Keith Whitley's song When You Say Nothing At All. That song was a classic in it's self and not soon after that song was released Keith passed away and no one could have remade it and done it any justice but Alison did and she nailed it. As good as Keith's was, hers was the female version and she honored him with her remake. I was close to showing that video for tonight but I thought lets twang it up a bit and end this month with something upbeat and lively. Hence, tonight's video Baby, Now That I've Found You. This song was originally wrote all the way back in 1967 by a group called The Foundations and has been performed by several artists since then. Alison and Union Station featured it on their 1995 album Now That I've Found You, A Collection. It's one of my favorite songs from them and even though its a remake, they put their own original sound on it. So, without any further delay, from 1995, its Baby, Now That I've Found You from Alison Krauss and Union Station. Enjoy!
