iA Hundred Miles or More/i carries the subtitle iA Collection/i, and what a curious collection it is--cuts from soundtracks, side projects, and tribute albums, plus guest duets on other artists' albums and five previously unreleased tracks. In other words, this is a collection of Alison Krauss performances that have never appeared on an Alison Krauss album, though it holds together better than such a grab-bag approach might suggest. Highlights such as her duet with Brad Paisley on "Whiskey Lullaby" and her a cappella rendition of "Down to the River to Pray" from iO Brother, Where Art Thou?/i will be familiar to most Krauss fans, though it's doubtful that many share her infatuation with retro rocker John Waite (with whom she revives his "Missing You" and duets on a cover of Don Williams's "Lay Down Beside Me."). Other projects represented range from Disney to the Chieftains to the Louvin Brothers (she duets with James Taylor on their "How's the World Treating You." There's minimal contribution from her Union Station band--making this a solo release by default--and little information to indicate whether the previously unreleased tracks were outtakes from earlier releases or recently recorded for this one. i--Don McLeese/ip/p span class="h1"strongMore Alison Krauss/strong/spanBR span class="tiny"/span table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4" tr align="center" valign="top" class="tiny" td width="33%" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000645UPA.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border="0"BR iLonely Runs Both Ways/i/td td width="33%" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00006LLLN.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border="0"BR iLive/i/td td width="33%" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000002ME.01.SWATCHZZ.jpg" border="0"BR iNow That I've Found You: A Collection/i/td/tr /table
Album Description
"A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection" is comprised of 16 tracks, highlighting Alison Krauss's career outside of her traditional releases with longtime band Union Station. The album features Krauss's collaboration with John Waite on the single "Missing You," as well as Krauss's contributions to film soundtracks, including the Oscar-nominated songs "The Scarlet Tide" and "You Will Be My Ain True Love," written for the motion picture "Cold Mountain," and "Down to the River to Pray" from the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Known for her collaborations, Krauss also includes several duets in the collection such as the 2003 hit with Brad Paisley, "Whiskey Lullaby," and her duet with James Taylor for the tribute album "Livin', Lovin', Losin': Songs of the Louvin Brothers," "How's the World Treating You." The collection debuts five new songs: "You're Just a Country Boy," "Jacob's Dream," "Simple Love," "Lay Down Beside Me," and "Away Down the River," all of which feature Krauss as a producer.

 Angel's Voice November 18, 2008
C. Lawrence
Another great album from Alison Krauss. What a pure angelic voice. Great songs and great vocals. If you are a Alison fan like me, you have to have this one in your collection.
Perfect; but for a melancholy mood. November 2, 2008
Beatrice (North Ridgeville, OH United States)
This isn't for your upbeat, dancing mood; but it is beautiful and satisfying in its own right. Listen to it a few times before making a judgment. I love Alison's pure voice and the simple, heartfelt songs she chooses. The only song that I don't care for is the "Sawing on the Strings", as it doesn't fit the rest of the mood of this more melancholy, yet lovely collection.
 Good singin October 24, 2008

I do enjoy this CD. However a couple songs I just don't understand. There is 3 songs that is to sad to listen too. Alison Krauss is still the most talented female singer I know of. Pure talent. So the songs are alittle over my head but I'll still listen to it.
One of my favorite CD's September 18, 2008
Britton King
Worth every penny. Not one bad track on the entire CD. Highly recommend this to anyone.
Where Did You Find That Music? July 27, 2008

A day never passes that I don't hear that question from a customer (Where did you find that music?) in my shop. I play mostly bluegrass and this is one of the BEST!!
