I got the vinyl and CD. I love it! The music has been in my head since I picked these up earlier in the week. More Country than pop. She does not play her signature fiddle! This is her first record on Capitol Records. She left Rounder. Most of the Union Station personnel make an appearance on the album. I suspect the "Union Station" personnel still are under contract with Rounder but I don't know that for a fact.

Anybody else gave this a listen?

    I bought it last night, but I've only had a chance to listen to a couple of songs so I'll withhold judgement for now. I'm anxious to be able to give it a listen.

    Grabbed the alternate cover version LP from Barnes and Noble. She does a good job at country music. Of course its very 60/70's ish sounding as she hand picked 10 classic songs to cover!

    Love her voice; it fits most but a little odd especially on Glen Campbell cover.

    I am a great fan of Alison Krauss with or without Union Station and listened to to the preview of this album on HDTracks and thought it was a little flat. Maybe I should listen again - the previews sometimes do not do justice to the whole thing.

    Just picked this up on the way home from work, sitting back with a beer enjoying the forum and listening to it this very moment. What a very good enjoyable listen this one is.

    Only complaint is it's only 34 minutes in its entirety, pretty much an EP with today's standards. I just play it twice in a row its that good.
