Allison Krause and Union Station

Forums:

Absolutely unlistenable.  Is there a compilation of all Jerry Douglas’ solos with the rest of that band and their lead banshee muted?

 

Jerry Douglas could do much cooler stuff with his time.

>>>Jerry Douglas could do much cooler stuff with his time.

He is. Just came through Salt Lake for a great show in support of his new album "What If..." 

Definitely a departure into new things. Good stuff.

he could also do much worse

>>>>>he could also do much worse

 

not really

Yeah, perhaps he could team up with Fishman on vacuum and Kang and put out something more in line with your tastes

Never been able to get into krauss, not even those albums with Robert plant everyone was touching themselves over.

I really dig her brother viktor's bass work as a sideman for legends like Peter Rowan and Lyle Lovett though.

i guess if being in her band funds Jerry's solo albums it's a necessary evil.

 

Licorice.

Likorauss?

Guess you guys like Grace Potter better? So hot and slutty wink

No one likes grace potter

she has a great voice

Allison that is

How are those in line with my tastes?  I can’t fucking stand SCI.

 

Allisons voice is okay but weak.

 

Do you guys like The Avett Brothers and Mumford and Sons too?

AK is ok. small doses. but i don't care for too many female vocalists anyways.

 

ps. avett's are the most over-hyped shit band in the last 20 years. i don't get it.

Never liked them, way to cheezy & pop sounding.  But never been a fan of any kind of "newgrass", even having seen the original Newgrass Revival when I lived in WV in the early '80's.  "I just don't Get It".  & Yeah, I can see the progression from Union Station to those awful "Pop Faux Americana" bands like Avetts, Mumfords, Lumineers.  Awful Genre.  Altho Brandi Carlisle isn't too bad . . .

I saw Krause a few decades ago. Her wrist was broken and she couldn’t play fiddle, which is her strongest asset. The entire show was her vocals, which almost drove me to the loony bin.

What really pisses me off is that Real Americana bands that I liked are now no longer touring because the Avetts & Mumfords Poached their members as backup musicians (the Dukhs, the Gourds).  Yeah I know, they gotta make a living.  Hope they like wearing those stupid sweater vest suit uniforms @ festivals in the hot summer.

Avett's really suck

total kiddie world

>>>>>total kiddie world

 

what is the opposite? Old folk world? 

>>Awful Genre

almost as bad as "Jam Bands"

>>>>total kiddie world

 

their audience jumps up and down- like at a college basketball game

I guess that happens at various shows- not a good thing

The worst current trend in the Jam Band genre is the crop of Bisco sound alike/spinoff bands like Dopapod & the Werks.  Disco Biscuits are Awful enuff w/o a crop of Pretenders.  Used to be all the jambands just tried to sound like Phish (Tea Leaf Green, Twiddle).  I'm sure there's some SCI spinoff bands too, I just don't wanna know ;(

Krauss in the early to mid 90's was good, before Jerry joined the band. Oh, and she did team up with phish way back...

Ha ha last summer an old Deadhead friend started giving me Guff about going to & actually enjoying several of the Phish Baker's Dozen shows, I retorted "Dude you've been Hyping the Avett Bro's to me for Years, you've got absolutely NOTHING to say to me!"  I think he also likes Krauss & Union Sta . . .

Reminded me of the You Tube channel "Phish Just Jams":

Jerry Douglas has found something better to do.  Check out The Earls of Leicester.  Great Flatt and Scruggs cover band.

Well, I saw her back in 1988 with a small group of old time fiddlers on the masters of the folk violin tour, it was wonderful in a super small place ( Wheaton Glass in Millville, NJ) . We talked a bit and she leaned down and gave my son a kiss :) she was just starting out then, but i was a fan. Thing is you don't see her fiddle like that anymore, I like her still...but the older stuff.  Kinda like she became too soft or something.. 

Her voice is still beautiful and I enjoy her , would love to see her rip like she did back then.

My dream is to see her at the Grand Ole Opry before I die, but that's just not gonna happen ( Maybe I'll get to see panic in Nashville tho...maybe ? )

Douche. 

Troll. 

Years back, before she hit it big, Alison was booked to headline a local annual bluegrass festival. She got sick and couldn't do it.

Then the Grammy's hit and her popularity (and price) increased dramatically.

She came back the next year and did the gig for the previous price, which was a lot lower than her rate at the time. 

 

Greg, your post is counter to the spirit that admin has asked us to post with.

Just because I don’t enjoy all the same shitty music you do doesn’t make me either a douche or a troll.  Kindly go fuck yourself.

LOL being lectured about online etiquette by Timmy fucking Hoover. 

Too funny. Music taste does not make you a douche or a troll. Being a douche and a troll does. 

Happy new year Tim. Seems some things never change. 

How did all those masters of the violin keep from poking each other in the eye? wink

>>>>>Being a douche and a troll does.
