Bluegrass Music is so revealing in that, there's nowhere for a musician to hide. You have to be precise, quick jumping in and out on lead. All these Folks are so skilled at their craft. Been a fan many years. Jerry Douglas now has his own band. Dan performs as a solo artist and collaborates with many others. Alison is Alison! What can you not say about Her? Love them
You and others in the comments have praised Alison and Union Station much better than I am able to . Wonderful musicianship here even though she didn't sing.
The one & only Jerry Douglas… and the rest of them too, absolutely fantastic band. When you put the best of the best all together, you get one hell of a band!
I love Celtic music; I love bluegrass because you have the Celtic influence; then I love Mozart(baroque), and I love Home Free. The common denominator is that there is soooo much going on in each of these that my brain just loves it! I hear not only the totality of the performance, but I hear each individual component. And I truly enjoy your channel, sir.
To hear this band with this song is the equivalent of a well oiled, well run, steam locomotive going down the tracks running perfectly. If you think this genre sucks, or is lame, then try playing it! These people are some of the best musicians in the industry. I kid you not!
just fantastic aren't they? and she didn't even sing in this one! when she sings it goes another level. their sound is absolutely grounded - grass roots wonderful :) so thanks for more alison krauss and union station. you are getting a lot of exposure to a whole other world of music and i am enjoying going along for the ride! i thot she would sing too but is fine just the same she didn't this time. i saw the title choctaw hayride and thot it would be paying some kind of homage lyrically. wonder if their are words to it (?) as i'd love to hear something about my own choctaw heritage!
I'm not a musician by any means, but it seems to me the best seem to gravitate to each other. That is just how it works, there is no other way. Generation and genre can be irrelevant, but respect for and dedication to the craft is never compromised.
@@bendyrland7213 I think you are right. And genre and generation seem to me to be arbitrary categories made up by record company execs to better market material to what they think is their target audience. Most musicians, both those whose careers I follow and albums I buy, and those i have known personally, seem to view it as just music, and that is cool-how do i get that sound out of my instrument, write lyrics like that, etc.
@@DjPjrocReacts911 Yeah, basically there are two categories: stuff I like and stuff I don't like. Just because I don't like something does not make it inherently bad, it usually just means that I haven't listened to it enough to develop a taste for it.
@@richardgleason5953 I finally figured that out, just took me a few. It was before dawn and i was still working on my first cuppa, brain not entirely online yet.
Alison has a song out with a singer Robert Plant. It's about Sister Rosetta Tharp (if spelled right) the gospel singer who I think inspired rock and roll.. alubumn is called Rising Sand, Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us. You should check it out. It's different from Alison's usual country singing. They sing Up Above My Head which Sister Rosetta came out with.. Also Sister Rosetta Tharp is one whoes music and voice sends shivers up my spine. Her guitar is awesome. ❤
Love AK and AKUS. She absolutely has the voice of an angel. It's not suited for every song out there because she doesn't have the vocal projection for some stuff; her voice is like a beautiful velvet fog that drifts thru and atop the music. And yes, the musicianship of US is unsurpassed. Her 2017 album "Windy City" was a solo effort, AK without US, and her version of Roger Miller's "River in the Rain" from that set is transcendent.
@@DjPjrocReacts911 I found it...solid reaction and I knew you'd like it, and you have a good NPR voice!...wait...did I just type a "dangling participle".... How about "Hey Joe" by the original artist Billy Roberts...it's more folksy that the Hendrix version
So PJ, I was expecting Alison to burst out into song. I'll agree that this was a dynamite instrumental and fun to listen to. But, I feel like you owe us a song! Just sayin
![Alison Krauss & Union Station -- Jacob's Dream [REACTION/RATING]](/img/n.gif)
Bluegrass is where Scots-Irish jigs and reels intersect with African American Blues- and what a combination! Pure magic!
Thanks for another gem from Alison Krauss and Union Station is a great band

Great choice.
So much talent.
You ought to listen to Allison Krause and the Chieftains “Molly Ban”
Love Love love
Sorry that I can't subscribe more than one time Sir. Really enjoy your channel and how you present it. Thanks again.
You and others in the comments have praised Alison and Union Station much better than I am able to . Wonderful musicianship here even though she didn't sing.
I was at this concert- it was epic.
Listening to Alison Krause sing is what I imagine what Angels sound like.
The most cathartic voice in the 'verse!
Plays a mean fiddle too.
she is sooo underrated !!
The one & only Jerry Douglas… and the rest of them too, absolutely fantastic band. When you put the best of the best all together, you get one hell of a band!
My favorite blue grass band! Listen to “Jacob’s dream” to hear Allison’s voice.
These folks COOK!!!!!
Her Angelic voice!!
Amazing 💝
Omg, such a wonderful ride!
He can really make that Dobro sing
Great choice! Thanks for sharing!
Union Station played and sang as the Soggy Bottom Boys in the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou.

I'm so happy to hear that you are enjoying the channel.
well said. quality is quality no matter the genre
Great points Robin and tallestmountain! I feel much the same and doubly so if I see it live.

Indeed! Love it. Gotta add that AK can attract such a phenominal band because she is such a phenominal musician.

I agree. There’s something terrific about a great bluegrass song, and Union Station delivers.
Gotta love AKUS!
AKUS??? 🤣 That one took me a moment! I think we are creating a monster here ... 🤣😂🤣
@@robineliason7850 Alison Krauss and Union Station… her wonderful band.

@@robineliason7850 LOL. All is good!
Cool Instrumental. I have the album. Those guys are great. Alison doesn’t normally show her playing skills, but she has it all❤❤
Subbed just for this one 💯💯👌
@Danika Silva
Thank you!
MAN!! If I could play dobro like Jerry Douglas. (Instead, I play like Minton)

@James Hargis
Agreed, AK chooses her material very wisely. Every thing iv'e heard her do reflects that wisdom. She knows her limitations.
@@DjPjrocReacts911 She's an amazing artist in every way. I wish she would release a new album sometime soon.
This is a great example of everyone being at their very best from the time the red flag went up until the end. Sounded flawless to me, literally.
I know you like both Allison Krauss and Alan Jackson. You need to check their duet, "The Angels Cried."
I could be wrong, but I think this was recorded long after Adam Steffey left the band.
@mushbone
Very possible
the in and out makes my eyes hurt
I looked thru your list and didn't see John Prines " Paradise"......I think you'll rank it high.

It's on my folk Chanel. Google noirspective reacts

Unfortunately, they probably love that Choctaw Bingo as well. 🤮
