There is so much to love about Alison Krauss, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. On A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection album, Alison Krauss have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. This disc has all of the essential Alison Krauss classics. If you love Alison Krauss as much as I do, then Alison Krauss A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection is the CD for you!
Music and lyrics of Simple Love creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. After about the third Jacob’s Dream listen through, I began to believe this song is Alison Krauss’s essence. Away Down the River make listening to Alison Krauss like being in some sort of time warp. Album opener Sawing on the Strings is a bright, upbeat ditty. Down to the River to Pray is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Baby Mine - My least favorite song on this album. Alison Krauss has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. In How’s the World Treating You (duet with James Taylor) the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. The Scarlet Tide is a exquisite, simple song by Alison Krauss at the top of his game. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Some call You Will Be My Ain True Love from A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. I Give You to His Heart to me is the best you can get from Alison Krauss. Get Me Through December - another great track from the A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection album. Missing You (duet with John Waite) hits the heart. Lay Down Beside Me (previously unreleased duet with John Waite) is simple, dignified and effective, Alison Krauss refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more.
