Isn't it strange...the music stores in Mumbai do not stock DVD of this amazing talented musician - despite winning 28 Grammy’s - more than any other singer?
Surprisingly the store attendants haven’t even heard about this singer! ...Wonder, where will I get this album ….and when will Gen- Y realise -there is music beyond bollywood, hip-hop and rap? About time, they train the ignoramus attendants in these outlets….
And so here I am, again glued on youtube listening to this glorious Bluegrass Country musician. Check this - One of the finest string performances - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYhlXdxbAXc – Choctaw..
Bluegrass Country music is a blend of American, Irish and Scottish music…based around acoustic stringed instruments viz; mandolin, acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle….
Perhaps some of you know who this talented musician is …yes the immaculately dressed lady is a legend. Alison Krauss, born in 1971, blessed with silken, saccharine, dreamy, high pitched voice that delicately trebles and caresses your soul. And her band the UnionStation, conservatively attired creates spectacular magic that haunts, reverberates and captures your heart. Check out the song that got me hooked http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvDaoWrYWxg – goodbye…
The album I am searching – Raising Sand. A spellbinding album that brings two icons – Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - out of their comfort zone, letting them trusts their instincts and create some enchanting music … Legendary Robert Plant -with his sonorous, soothing, slithering, and sublime vocals redefined and created the reverential, erstwhile rock group- ‘Led Zeppelin.’
Check out http://www.robertplantalisonkrauss.com/site.php?content=raising_sand and enjoy all the numbers – albeit you can start with ‘Rich woman’,‘Gone, Gone, Gone’ and later ‘Please read the letter’…Raising Sand resurrects delightful melody ....and these two brilliant singers complement each other wonderfully well. Producer Burnett backs the singers with an amazing orchestra, superb guitar of Marc Ribot and the brilliant percussion of drummer Jay Bellerose.
I must thank my wife for introducing me to this singer. I am sure Alison will leave a profound effect with her talent andmusic. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32_BE6Pf6x0 – stay ..and do enjoy this number http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjsjZWlRVvo
Enjoy..
