Union Station
 New Favorite $17.98 Alison Krauss and Union Station continue to amaze with their ability to dig into American music both old and new. They combine the best of bluegrass, country, and folk and make it all sound organic. Two of the best songs in this set are by Robert Lee Castleman, a writer whose name should be a household word but isn't, alas. Castleman's songs are little stories; he is something of the Raymond Carver of country music (not to be confused with Robert Carver of audiophile fame). With expressive singing and energetic playing, the band provides solid musicianship from start to finish, and the recording quality is excellent. For old fans and new fans alike, this CD is aptly named.  Alison Krauss & Union Station - Live $19.98 I'm not a union station or bluegrass fan necessarily but this concert continues to captivate me years after first hearing it. every track on this release is incredibly authentic and the sound quality is the best. I invest hundreds of dollars in equipment aimed at giving you goosebumps and this cd delivers. I can't stop listening to it. Krauss is probably a once in a lifetime talent and this band was in an unbelievable groove. That dobro player might actually make this what it is along with alison. sigh  Alison Krauss & Union Station Live (Jewel Case) $24.98 Discovered this group a few years ago, and because they impressed me so, I now have virtually all of their discs.
