Editorial Review:
GRAMMY WINNER FOR BEST COUNTRY ALBUM, BEST COUNTRY PERFORMANCE BY A DUO OR GROUP, AND BEST COUNTRY INSTRUMENTAL PERFORMANCE.
Lonely Runs Both Ways is the highly anticipated new studio album from the world’s finest purveyors of Bluegrass, Alison Krauss and Union Station. Featuring instant classics such as "Wouldn’t Be So Bad," "Goodbye Is All We Have," and the lead single, "Restless," Lonely Runs Both Ways is another unforgettable collection of songs from this multiple Grammy-winning act.
Description of Lonely Runs Both Ways:
Nobody makes somber sound more exquisite than Alison Krauss. She's come an awfully long way from her days as a teenage fiddle prodigy, as her glamour gown on this CD's cover suggests and the bittersweet maturity of the music confirms. Krauss exchanges her bluegrass fiddle for the chamber strains of viola on much of the material, including four songs by Robert Lee Castleman (whose "The Lucky One," "Let Me Touch You for Awhile," and "Forget About It" were previously popularized by Krauss). Castleman's compositions showcase the emotional intimacy and interpretive subtlety of her breathy trill. The yearning harmonies on "Wouldn't Be So Bad" (written by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings) and "Borderline" (written by Sidney and Suzanne Cox) reinforce the album's restless spirit of quiet desperation. Change-of-pace contributions by Krauss's bandmates are more deeply rooted in the bluegrass/folk tradition, with Dan Tyminski renewing Del McCoury's "Rain Please Go Away" and Woody Guthrie's populist anthem "Pastures of Plenty"; Dobro master Jerry Douglas leads the charge on his instrumental "Unionhouse Branch." Few bands in bluegrass can match the virtuosity of Union Station's interplay, but the artistry of Alison Krauss transcends genre. --Don McLeese

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! DON"T LET THE BAD REVIEWS FOOL YOU!!!!
2008-09-12 - Alison Krauss is a beautiful singer and I love when her and Union Station get together and make another unforgettable album - such as this one.
I love this album so much because I feel that a lot of these songs tell about her life and my favorite song is Wouldn't Be So Bad - though all of the songs on this album are amazing! Anyway, do not listen to the bad reviews - buy this and you'll thank me! This to me is just another wonderful Alison-packed adventure and you will love it!!!!!!!! This is worth the money!!!! GOOD JOB, ALISON! AND YOU TOO, UNION STATION!!!
Lonely Runs Both Ways
2008-02-28 - This body of work is another example of the great talents of Alison Krause and Union Station. The harmonies are absolutely beautiful. The songs seem to range from old blue grass to contemporary. Their Picking is out of this world, and is well displayed in the song "Union House Branch". This C D is a good buy whether you are a long time follower Or a first time buyer of AKUS music.
Outstanding
2007-10-06 - Alison has done it again, with this great album. She and her band have pleased us, the comsumer again.
