Other work

O Brother Where Art Thou? is the Soundtrack of music from the 2000 American Comedy film O Brother Where Art Thou? [34] She and co-vocalist Dan Tyminski contributed multiple tracks to the soundtrack, including "I'll Fly Away" (with Gillian Welch), "Down to the River to Pray", and "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow.

[36] The unexpected success of the album has been partially credited, as was Krauss herself,[37][38] with bringing a new interest in bluegrass to the United States. She has said, however, that she believes Americans already liked bluegrass and other less-heard musical genres, and that the film merely provided easy exposure to the music. [39] She did not appear in the movie, at her own request, as she was nine months pregnant during its filming. [40] In 2007, Krauss released the anthology "A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection," which was a collection of soundtrack work, duets with artists such as John Waite, James Taylor, Brad Paisley and esteemed fiddle player Natalie MacMaster, and newer tracks.

One of the tracks, "Missing You", a duet with Waite (and a cover of his hit single from 1984), was similarly received as a single. " Missing You " is a song by British musician John Waite and was included in the album No Brakes. On August 11, television network Great American Country aired a one-hour special, "Alison Krauss: A Hundred Miles or More" based on the album and featured many of the album's duets and solo performances.

Reception and influences

Krauss's earliest musical experience was as an instrumentalist, though her style has grown to focus more on her vocals[13] with a band providing most of the instrumentation. Musicians she enjoys include Lou Gramm of Foreigner, Paul Rodgers of Bad Company. Lou Gramm (born Louis Grammatico on May 2, 1950 in Rochester, New York) is an American rock vocalist and Foreigner is a rock band formed in New York City in 1976 by veteran musicians Mick Jones and ex- King Crimson member Ian McDonald, Paul Rodgers, (born 17 December 1949 is an English rock singer-songwriter best known for being a member of Free and Bad Company. Bad Company are an English Blues rock supergroup founded in 1973 consisting of band members from Free ( Paul Rodgers, Simon [45][46][47] She cites Dolly Parton, with whom she has since collaborated a number of times, as a major influence. Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American Country music Singer / Songwriter, Author, actress [48] Some credit Krauss and Union Station, at least partially, with a recent revival of interest in bluegrass music in the United States. [37][38] Despite being together for nearly two decades and winning numerous awards, she said the group was "just beginning right now" (in 2002) because "in spite of all the great things that have happened for the band, [she] feel[s] musically it's just really beginning. "[39] Although she alternates between solo releases and works with the band, she has said there is no difference in her involvement between the two. [40]

As a group, AKUS have been called "American favourites," "world-beaters,"[49] and "the tightest band around. "[50] While they have been successful as a group, many reviews note Krauss still "remains the undisputed star and rock-solid foundation" and have described her as the "band's focus"[51] with an "angelic"[50] voice that "flows like honey". [51] Her work has been compared to that of the Cox Family, Bill Monroe, and Del McCoury, and has in turn been credited with influencing various "Newgrass" artists including Nickel Creek, for which she acted as record producer on two of their albums. The Cox Family is an North American Bluegrass family group from Cotton Valley Louisiana, United States. William Smith Monroe ( September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) was an American musician who developed the style of music known as Delano Floyd McCoury (born February 1, 1939 in Bakersville North Carolina) is an American Bluegrass musician As leader of the Progressive bluegrass, also known as newgrass (a term attributed to New Grass Revival member Ebo Walker is one of two major subgenres of Bluegrass music [52] In addition to her work with Nickel Creek, she has acted as producer to the Cox Family, Reba McEntire,[53] and Alan Jackson.

Voice, themes, and musical style

Krauss generally sings as a soprano[58] in a breathy yet penetrating style using little to no vibrato: her clear vocals have been described as "angelic". This article is related to a series of articles under the main article Voice type. [50] She has said her musical influences include J. D. Crowe, Ricky Skaggs, and Tony Rice.

[59] Many of her songs are described as sad,[60] and are often about love, especially lost love. NOTICE TO WOULD-BE-ROMEOS*************** Krauss herself has said of her song selection that she looks for "tunes that [she] can relate to" and "if they make you feel like crap, you oughta do 'em. " Though she has a close involvement with her group and a long career in music, she rarely performs music she has written herself. She has also described her general approach to constructing an album as starting with a single song and selecting other tracks based on the first, to give the final album a somewhat consistent theme and mood. [40][61] She most commonly performs in the bluegrass and country genres, though she has had two songs on the adult contemporary charts, has worked with rock artists such as Phish[13] and Sting,[43] and is sometimes said to stray into pop music. Adult contemporary music, frequently abbreviated AC, refers to styles of popular music that ranges from "lush Sixties pop often vocal -based and rooted in Rock music is a genre of Popular music often though not necessarily employing Electric guitar, Bass guitar, and Drums.

Krauss did not think she would make music videos at the beginning of her career, and after recording her first she was convinced it was so bad that she would never do another. A music video is a Short film or video that accompanies a complete piece of music most commonly a Song with lyrics Nonetheless, she has gone on to make further videos. Many of the first videos she saw were by bluegrass artists, although Dan Tyminski has noted that the video for Thriller was very popular at the time she was first exposed to music videos. Michael Jackson's Thriller is a 13-minute Music video for the song of the same name released on December 2 1983 and directed by John Landis She has made suggestions on the style or theme to some videos, though she tends to leave such decisions up to the director of the particular video. A music video director is a Film director that specializes in creating short films driven by a given music track The group chooses directors by seeking out people who have previously directed videos bandmembers have enjoyed. The director for a video to "If I Didn't Know Any Better" from Lonely Runs Both Ways, for example, was selected because Krauss enjoyed work he had done with Def Leppard, and she wondered what he could do with their music. While style decisions are generally left to the various directors of the videos, many —including for "Restless", "Goodbye is All We Have", "New Favorite", and "If I Didn't Know Any Better"—follow a pattern. In all of these videos Krauss walks, sometimes interacting with other people, while the rest of the band follows her. [6][7]
