Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0011661055520 Label: Rounder / UMGD Manufacturer: Rounder / UMGD MPN: 610555 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Rounder / UMGD Release Date: April 03, 2007 Studio: Rounder / UMGD Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A Hundred Miles or More carries the subtitle A Collection, 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 O Brother, Where Art Thou? 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. --Don McLeese More Alison Krauss
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.

 Rating:  - Where Did You Find That Music?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!! Rating: - GREAT FEMALE SINGERSI will be on my way to the Greyfox Bluegrass Festival tyomorrow morning. What am I going to listen to----AK "A Hundred Miles or More" There is NO ONE who can sing like Allison. Unfortunately, she won't be there. As it is a long ride from southern Pa to upstate NY, I will also listen to my other 2 favorite female singers---Sarah Mac & Abby Washburn. Fortunately, Abby will be there with both of her bands---Uncle Earl & the Sparrow Quartet. Abby will help me get over the fact that Allison will not be ...
