Description of I Know Who Holds Tomorrow:
In addition to being a contest-winning fiddler and an angelic singer, Alison Krauss is also a terrific talent scout. She has assembled a personal stable of the finest songwriters in contemporary bluegrass--John Pennell, Nelson Mandrell, Ron Block, Sidney Cox and Mark Simos--and she has singlehandedly brought Louisiana's wonderful bluegrass/gospel group, the Cox Family, to national prominence. Last year Krauss produced the Cox Family's debut CD, "Everybody's Reaching Out for Someone," and this year she has joined them for a delightful joint gospel album, "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow."
The Cox Family includes daddy Willard, son Sidney and three daughters, Suzanne, Evelyn, and Lynn. All five are solid lead and harmony vocalists, but Suzanne and Evelyn are special singers with the same kind of effortlessly graceful sopranos as Krauss. Between them, Krauss, Suzanne and Evelyn take nine of the dozen lead vocals and with the backing of the Cox Family voices and Krauss' regular musicians, the results are enchantingly lovely. Krauss has picked the hymns from a wide variety of sources--Paul Simon, Loretta Lynn, Thomas Dorsey and Dottie Rambo--but they are united by her tastefully understated acoustic arrangements. Nothing quite captures the mix of hopes and fears that make up gospel music like the duet between Krauss and Evelyn on Lynn's "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven (But Nobody Wants To Die)." --Geoffrey Himes
I Know Who Holds Tomorrow Reviews:
Just what I wanted !! 
2008-10-24 - I found an older CD that my husband wanted, and of course I knew it would be on Amazon.com! I ordered the CD and it's all that he wanted and expected! Wonderful condition and great timing to receive it. Thanks!!
Beautiful CD 
2007-04-10 - If you enjoy Gospel music this is a great CD for you. Allison Krauss blends beautifully with the Cox family. The Palm of Your Hand & Far Side Bank of Jordan ar my favorites.
Hymns by A;ison Krauss and the Cox Family
2007-04-05 - I have enjoyed this CD very much. The hymns have always meant
a lot to me.
Great!
2006-03-17 - As usual the quality of music on this album is outstanding.....i was born and grew up in the nountains of Western NC and Eastern TN, my mother sang many of these songs as we worked out in the fields..we could hear her singing clear across the mountain.........Sorry, i can't give you an objective opinion about the music on this album, it goes too deep into my heart....
Not exactly what I expected, however...
2006-03-09 - This CD is not exactly bluegrass, nor is it exactly southern Gospel. It's more like old-time folk (think O Brother, Where Art Thou). And Allison only sings lead on three songs. However, the recording quality is superb. Very crisp sounding, each instrument stands out. I'm not sorry I bought it, it's just not what I expected.
