The following biography
is from
Wikipedia.org
“The
Free Encyclopedia.”
Alison Krauss (born July 23, 1971)[1] is an
American bluegrass/country singer and fiddle player. Krauss entered the music
industry at a young age, winning local contests by the age of ten and recording
for the first time on her brother's album at fourteen. Krauss signed with
Rounder Records in 1985 and released her first solo album at sixteen in 1987.
Krauss was invited to join the band with which she still performs, Alison Krauss
& Union Station (AKUS), and later released her first album with them as a group
in 1989. Since then Krauss' contract has dictated that she rotate between
releasing albums solo and with Union Station.
She has thus far released more than ten albums,
appeared on numerous soundtracks, and has been credited with helping to usher in
a new interest in bluegrass music in the United States. Some of her soundtrack
performances have led to further notability including the O Brother, Where Art
Thou? soundtrack, an album also credited with raising American interest in
bluegrass; and on the Cold Mountain soundtrack, which ultimately led her to
perform at the Academy Awards. Over the course of her career she has won twenty
Grammy Awards—more than any other female artist and tied for seventh-most of all
artists—along with numerous other awards.

Biography
Alison Krauss was born in Decatur, Illinois, but
was raised in Champaign, Illinois.[2] She began studying classical violin at
five years old but soon switched to bluegrass. Krauss said she first became
involved with music because her "mother tried to find interesting things for
[me] to do" and "wanted to get [me] involved in music, in addition to art and
sports."[3] At age eight she started entering local talent contests, and at ten
she had her own band. At twelve she won the Texas State Fiddle Championship, and
the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass in America named her the Most
Promising Fiddler in the Midwest. Krauss first met Dan Tyminski around 1984 at a
festival held by the Society. Interestingly, every current member of Union
Station first met Krauss at these festivals.[4]
Krauss made her recorded debut in 1985 on her
brother Viktor Krauss' independent album, Different Strokes.[1] She performed
with John Pennell, bassist and songwriter, from the age of twelve in a band
called "Silver Rail". Pennell later formed Union Station[5] and Krauss joined at
his invitation,[6] replacing their previous fiddler Andrea Zonn.[7] Pennell
remains one of her favorite songwriters[8] and wrote some of her early work
including the popular "Every Time You Say Goodbye."[9] Later that year she
signed to Rounder Records and in 1987, at sixteen, her debut album Too Late to
Cry was released[1] with Union Station as her backup band.[10]
1989–1991: Early career
Krauss' debut solo album was followed shortly by
her first group album with Union Station in 1989, Two Highways.[11] Many
traditional bluegrass numbers appeared on the album[12] along with a bluegrass
interpretation of The Allman Brothers' "Midnight Rider."[13]Krauss' contract
with Rounder required her to rotate between releasing a solo album and an album
with Union Station[14] and she released the solo album I've Got That Old Feeling
in 1990. It was her first album to rise onto Billboard charts, peaking in the
top seventy five on the Country chart.[15] The album also was a notable point in
Krauss' career as it earned her her first Grammy Award, the single "Steel Rails"
was her first single tracked by Billboard,[16] and the title single "I've Got
That Old Feeling" was the first song for which she recorded a music video.[17]
1992–1999: Rising success
Krauss' second Union Station album Everytime You
Say Goodbye was released in 1992 and went on to win her second Grammy for Best
Bluegrass Album of the year. Krauss then joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1993 at
the age of 21.[11] She was the youngest cast member at the time and the first
bluegrass artist to join the Opry in twenty nine years.[18] She also
collaborated on a project with the Cox Family in 1994, a bluegrass album called
I Know Who Holds Tomorrow.[19] Mandolin and guitar player Dan Tyminski replaced
Tim Stafford in Union Station in 1994.[20]
Now That I've Found You: A Collection, a
compilation of older releases and some covers of Krauss' favorite works by other
artists, was released in 1995. Some of these covers include Bad Company's "Oh
Atlanta", The Foundations' "Baby, Now That I've Found You", and The Beatles' "I
Will".[21] The single "When You Say Nothing At All" reached the top five on the
Country Billboard chart, the album peaked in the top fifteen on the all-genre
Billboard 200 chart and sold two million copies to become Krauss' first
double-platinum album. Krauss also was nominated for four Country Music
Association Awards and won all of them.
So Long So Wrong, another Union Station album, was
released in 1997 and won the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album. Some critics said
it was "untraditional" and "likely [to] change quite a few... Minds about
bluegrass."[22] Included on the album is the track "It Doesn't Matter" which was
featured in the second season premiere episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer[23]
and was included on the Buffy soundtrack in 1999.[24]
Her next solo release in 1999, Forget About It,
included her only track to appear on the Billboard Adult contemporary music
chart, "Stay". The album was certified gold and charted within the top seventy
five of the Billboard 200 and in the top five of the Country chart. In addition,
the track "That Kind of Love" eventually became included in another episode of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.[25] Krauss was married to Pat Bergeson from 1997 to
2001[26] and they had one son, Sam, who was born in July 1999.[27]
2000–present: Current career
Adam Steffey left Union Station in 1998 and
renowned dobro player Jerry Douglas replaced him.[29] Douglas had provided
studio back-up to Alison's records since 1987's Too Late To Cry. Krauss thought
highly of his abilities, going so far as to introduce Douglas on their album,
Live, as "the greatest dobro player the world has ever known."[30] Their next
album, New Favorite, was released on August 14, 2001.[31] The album went on to
win the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album, the single "The Lucky One" winning a
Grammy as well. New Favorite was followed up by the double platinum double album
Live in 2002 and a release of a DVD of the same live performance in 2003. Both
the album and the DVD were recorded during a performance at The Louisville
Palace.[32]
Lonely Runs Both Ways was released in 2004 and
eventually became another Alison Krauss & Union Station gold certified album.
Ron Block described Lonely Runs Both Ways as "pretty much... what we've always
done" in terms of song selection and the style in which those songs were
recorded.[33] Krauss, on the other hand, believes the group "was probably the
most unprepared we've ever been" for the album and that songs were chosen as
needed rather than planned beforehand.[3] She also performed a duet with Brad
Paisley on his album Mud on the Tires in the single "Whiskey Lullaby". The
single was quite successful, ranking in the top fifty of the Billboard Hot 100,
the top five of the Hot Country Songs, and won the Country Music Association
Awards for "Best Musical Event" and "Best Music Video" of the year.
Other work
Krauss has made multiple guest appearances on other
records with lead vocals, harmony vocals, or fiddle playing. She has contributed
to numerous motion picture soundtracks, perhaps most notably the soundtrack O
Brother, Where Art Thou? in 2000.[34] She and co-vocalist Dan Tyminski
contributed multiple tracks to the soundtrack, including "I'll Fly Away" (with
Gillian Welch), "Down in the River to Pray", and "I Am a Man of Constant
Sorrow." In the film, Tyminski's vocals on Man of Constant Sorrow became the
singing voice of George Clooney.[2][35] The soundtrack sold over seven million
copies and won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2002.[36] The unexpected
success of the album has been partially credited, as with Krauss
herself,[37][38] with bringing a new interest in bluegrass to the United
States.[39] 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.[40] Krauss did not appear in the movie at her own
request as she was nine months pregnant during its filming.[41]
Other soundtracks for which Krauss has performed
include Twister, The Prince of Egypt,[42] Eight Crazy Nights, Mona Lisa Smile,
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Bambi II and Cold Mountain.[43] The Cold
Mountain song "The Scarlet Tide" by T-Bone Burnett and Elvis Costello was
nominated for an Academy Award and Krauss performed the song at the 76th Academy
Awards with Costello and Burnett.[44] Krauss also worked as a producer for
Nickel Creek on their debut self-titled album in 2000 and the follow-up This
Side in 2002 which won Krauss her first Grammy as a music producer.
Reception and influences
Alison Krauss' earliest musical experience was as
an instrumentalist, though her style her grown to focus more on her vocals[11]
with a band providing most of the instrumentation. Musicians she enjoys include
Lou Gramm of Foreigner, Paul Rodgers of Bad Company, and AC/DC.[45][46][47] 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 Krauss 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."[40] Although Krauss rotates between solo releases and works with the
band she has said there is no difference in her involvement between the two.[41]
As a group AKUS have been called "American
favourites", "world-beaters",[48] and "the tightest band around".[49] 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"[50] with an "angelic"[49] voice that "flows like honey".[50] Krauss' work
has been compared to the Cox Family, Bill Monroe, and Del McCoury and has in
turn been credited with influencing various "Newgrass" artists including Nickel
Creek, which she acted as record producer for on two of their albums.[51] In
addition to her work with Nickel Creek, Krauss has acted as producer to the Cox
Family, Reba McEntire,[52] and Alan Jackson.[53] Adam Sweeting of The Guardian
has said Krauss and Union Station are "superb when they stick to hoedowns and
hillbilly music, but much less convincing when they lurch towards the middle of
the road"[54] and Blender magazine has said the "flavorless repertoire [Krauss]
sings... steers her toward Lite FM".[55] In addition, Q magazine and The Onion
AV Club have said their newer releases are "pretty much the usual" and although
Krauss is generally "adventurous" these recent releases contain nothing to
"alienate the masses".[56]
Voice, themes, and musical style
Krauss generally sings as a soprano[57] that has
been described as "angelic".[49] She has said her musical influences include J.
D. Crowe, Ricky Skaggs, and Tony Rice.[58] Many of her songs are described as
sad[59] and are often about love, especially lost love. 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.[41][60] She most commonly performs in the bluegrass and country genres,
though she has had a song tracked on adult contemporary charts, has worked with
rock artists such as Phish[11] and Sting,[44] and is sometimes said to stray
into pop music.[61][7]
Music videos
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 bad enough she would never do another. Nonetheless, Krauss has gone on to
make further videos. The first videos she saw were from various bluegrass
artists and Dan Tyminski has noted the video for Thriller was very popular when
she was first exposed to music videos. 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. 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 Krauss 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.[4][5]
Performances
Krauss has said she used to dislike working in the
studio where she had to play the same song repeatedly, but has come to like
studio work roughly the same as live stage performances. Her own favorite
concert experiences include watching three Foreigner concerts during a single
tour, a Dolly Parton concert, and a Larry Sparks concert.[62] Alison Krauss
appeared on Austin City Limits in 1992 and opened the show in 1995 with Union
Station.[63] The New Favorite tour, after AKUS' album of the same name, was
planned to start September 12, 2001 in Cincinnati, Ohio, but was pushed back to
September 28 in Savannah, Georgia following the September 11 terrorist
attacks.[64] Krauss also took part in the Down from the Mountain tour in 2002
which featured many artists from the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack and
was named after a documentary on the making of said soundtrack.[65][66] Down
from the Mountain was followed by the Great High Mountain Tour which was
comprised of musicians from both O Brother and Cold Mountain, including Alison
Krauss.[5] She has also given several notable smaller performances including at
Carnegie Hall (with the Grand Ole Opry),[67] on Lifetime Television in a concert
of female performers,[68] on the radio show Prairie Home Companion[69] where she
sang two songs not previously recorded on any of her albums,[70] and a
performance at the White House attended by then-President Bill Clinton and
then-Vice President Al Gore.[71]
Awards
Alison Krauss has won a record twenty Grammy
Awards[72] over the course of her career as a solo artist, a group with Union
Station, and a record producer. This is more than any other female artist and
tied for seventh most won by any artist overall.[73] She overtook Aretha
Franklin for the most female wins at the 46th Grammy Awards where Krauss won
three, bringing her total at the time to seventeen (Franklin won her sixteenth
that night), and performed with Sarah McLachlan.[74] The Recording Academy
(which presents the Grammy Awards) presented her with a special musical
achievement honor in 2005.[75] She has also won seven Country Music Association
Awards,[76] fifteen International Bluegrass Music Association Awards,[77] and
two Gospel Music Association Awards.[78]
