Editorial Review:
When you possess a great pop voice, it's inevitable that you'll someday make a pop album, and Alison Krauss has finally made hers. Instead of bidding for radio airplay with the extravagant, extroverted pop of Shania Twain, Trisha Yearwood, or Celine Dion, Krauss has crafted an intimate, understated chamber-pop album reminiscent of Joni Mitchell's Blue or Rosanne Cash's Interiors. The material comes from such mainstream-pop writers as Michael McDonald, Todd Rundgren, Allen Reynolds, and Danny O'Keefe, but Krauss the producer gives the songs a distinctive spin. She layers the harmonies of her regular Union Station band, the Cox Family singers, pianist Matt Rollings, drummer Jim Keltner, and mandolinist Sam Bush to create a lush, hushed sound that's neither traditional bluegrass nor electric country-pop. Krauss multitracks her own fiddle parts and blends them with Jerry Douglas's Dobro to create an unorthodox string-quartet sound. In this setting her tender, translucent vocals capture that moment when a relationship is unraveling before the lovers are ready to let it go. --Geoffrey Himes
Forget About It Reviews:
This is my favorite CD of all times! 
2009-05-26 - Alison Krauss' "Forget About It" CD is the best of ALL the CDs I've ever purchased. In fact, this is my SECOND purchase of the same CD. I gave my first copy away to a very good friend who also thinks highly of Alison Krauss.
Alison has the most awesome voice and the musical instruments in these songs are just as awesome. Beautiful melodies! This is the best CD ever!
Alison's Best
2009-04-07 - This is probably the best of Alison Krauss. The slow, melodic tunes are mesmorizing. "Ghost in this House" is so blue and it reaches far into the soul. Alison's voice is perfectly whole with a richness only a few posess. It's a "must buy".
If you are mourning the end of a relationship, these are the soundtracks of your tears.
2009-01-09 - This is not bluegrass, this is just blue, beautifully blue. These songs just ache with the pain of the end of a relationship, but they also soothe your soul as well. I was seeking a soundtrack for this melancholy journey through the end of my dreams of happily ever after and I found it with this treasure. Thank you Allison and Union Station.
Excellent in every way
2008-05-31 - Great CD. Excellent show of talent and emotion. Good recording quality. Excellent songs and performance. Goosebumps!
My Favorite Alison Krauss CD
2008-02-17 - This is definately the most beautiful Alison Krauss album and I think her very best in terms of every song being great and consistant mood. Sometimes I prefer one mood on an album as opposed to a mix of moods/tempo.
