使得兰草音乐愈加发扬光大。 Alison Krauss最为大家所熟知的是When You Say Nothing At All,
而这张专辑风格很多,以蓝草(乡村的一种分支)为主,也有纯正的乡村,还有几首流行摇滚。
A Hundred Miles or More carries the subtitle A Collection,
and what a curious collection it is--cuts from soundtracks,
side projects, and tribute albums,
plus guest duets on other artists' albums and five previously unreleased tracks. In other words,
this is a collection of Alison Krauss performances
that have never appeared on an Alison Krauss album,
though it holds together better than such a grab-bag approach might suggest.
Highlights such as her duet with Brad Paisley on "Whiskey Lullaby"
and her a cappella rendition of "Down to the River to Pray" from O Brother,
Where Art Thou? will be familiar to most Krauss fans,
though it's doubtful that many share her infatuation with retro rocker John Waite
(with whom she revives his "Missing You"
and duets on a cover of Don Williams's "Lay Down Beside Me.").
Other projects represented range from Disney to the Chieftains to the Louvin Brothers
(she duets with James Taylor on their "How's the World Treating You."
There's minimal contribution from her Union Station band--making this a solo
release by default--and little information to indicate
whether the previously unreleased tracks were outtakes from earlier releases
or recently recorded for this one. --Don McLeese
