Alison Krauss

About

As an International Bluegrass Hall of Fame inductee, a recipient of the National Medal of Arts and one of the most decorated artists in GRAMMY history (with 27 awards to her name thus far), singer, fiddler and producer Alison Krauss has achieved a rarified status during her four-decade-long career. The past 25 years have garnered Krauss international fame thanks to numerous bestselling releases (both as Alison Krauss and Alison Krauss & Union Station ), broadly acclaimed collaborations (including 2007’s Raising Sand and 2021’s Raise the Roof with Robert Plant ), plus projects like the 8x-Platinum O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack (2000) and the Academy Award®-nominated Cold Mountain soundtrack (2003). Yet her formative years in the industry, which began before she was even a teenager, prove equally inspiring and impressive. Those years are chronicled in 1995’s Now That I’ve Found You: A Collection , which arrived a decade into Krauss’ career via Rounder Records . While she had already released five studio albums—including two with Union Station—Krauss wasn’t widely known outside the bluegrass scene. That would change, however, in the months following this release. The songs included in the compilation paint a portrait of an exceptional young artist, poised to break out in ways that she could never have imagined.
