Although the subtitle suggests that A HUNDRED MILES OR MORE is just a standard greatest hits set, this anthology is actually something far more useful. The career-spanning 16-track set gathers nearly all of Alison Krauss's soundtrack appearances, guest shots on other folks' albums, tribute songs, and a handful of other rarities. By gathering all this material in one place, it's a hugely useful album for fans, but on its own musical merits, A HUNDRED MILES OR MORE contains some of Alison Krauss's best work. Highlights include "Down to the River to Pray," her haunting a cappella addition to the Grammy winning O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU soundtrack, and her version of Elvis Costello's "The Scarlet Tide" from the soundtrack to the Civil War romance COLD MOUNTAIN. | Find errors in the product description?

Top Reviews Review created: 04/30/08 by: 7 of 7 people found this review helpful. If you're looking for a wonderful CD with the angelic voice of Ms. Krauss, you are on the right track.. Interesting duets with people way outside the bluegrass community.. Alison shows her skill as a musician also.. A good choice for your collection..

Report this review Reviews I`m listening to this CD as I write this review, it`s excellent. just like the service I received from the vendor, it arrived quickly and in good condition so what more can you ask. As I continually point out to the sceptics! Review ID: 10000000007821068 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 06/16/08 by: I love the mixture of songs on this album. From duets with Brad Paisley, Sting, and more, her voice shines beautifully. I love the way the songs take me to another place. Her haunting and sad song Jacob's dream pulls at your heart, while other songs like Simple Love lift you up. I've actually bought this CD twice - my first copy was stollen out of my car - I just couldn't live without it. Review ID: 10000000007609577 Was this review helpful?

It was not in great condition as described and it stated no returns or refunds so I didn't bother e-mailing the seller. I had a perfect feedback and I paid for it immediately and he left me a neutral and an obsene ending. Review ID: 10000000007307355 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
