"I always look for tunes that I can relate to, and I always say if they make you feel like crap, you oughta do 'em. That's pretty much the approach."--Alison Krauss

| One of the leading lights of contemporary bluegrass, Alison Krauss has released a dozen albums, won scores of awards, and as both a singer and a fiddler, she has collaborated with artists of every musical genre. She's best known for work on surprise hits like the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack and her own Now That I've Found You: A Collection. |
 |
| We love Alison Krauss' prodigious musical talent, sense of humor and picture-perfect looks. She's proven to us once and for all that there's more to bluegrass than buck teeth and dueling banjos. |

Alison Krauss was born on July 23, 1971 in Decatur, Illinois, but she was raised in Champaign, Illinois. Her parents encouraged Alison and her brother, Viktor, to play musical instruments at a young age. When she was five, Alison began by studying classical violin, but once she was exposed to bluegrass music a short time later, Alison fell in love with fiddling.
Alison started entering local talent contests at age 8, and two years later, she had her own band. At 12 years of age, she won the Illinois State Fiddle Championship, and the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass in America voted her the Most Promising Fiddler in the Midwest.
When Alison was 14, she was already recording. She played on a record made by her brother called Different Strokes in 1985, and that same year, she signed with Rounder Records. Her debut came in 1987, with the critically acclaimed Too Late to Cry, which featured Alison's back-up band, Union Station. As part of her contract with Rounder, Alison followed that "solo" album with one by Alison Krauss & Union Station, Two Highways (1989). |
