You really couldn’t make it up. Well, they…
Norman, “the other one” is a grievous slight to one of the most outstanding folk-bluegrass artists in the business. With her band “Union Station” Alison Krauss has made several best selling recordings and has a flock of loyal fans. This glamorous setting does not present her at her best.
“The other one’s Alison Krauss.”
A very dismissive statement to make about a supremely talented singer, songwriter, pianist, and bluegrass fiddler and mandolinist. Alison Krauss made her professional debut at 8 years old, and fronted her own band by the time she was 10. She made her first record at age 14, and today is a major force in the American bluegrass / roots music scene.
She sounds lovely in this duet, and although I don’t like the soupy, schmaltzy arrangement at all, AK and AB sing well together.
I enjoy Bocelli quite a lot, but Alison Krauss is an angel. And what too few people get to hear is her playing. She is an incredible musician as well.
Bocelli is constantly flat. Doesn’t that bother anyone?
The greatest voice I have ever heard Andrea Bocelli is AMAZING BLESSED WITH A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT AND A WONDERFUL GIFT..
I am so excited to get the cd,one of my favorite artist,singing a favorite song
Congratulations Andrea
Thank you Andrea
They were amazing. I love Andrea Bocelli. I also like Alison Krauss.
A bit too much Bocelli on this website… let’s not be blind to the problem. Will there soon be 2 articles per week about André Rieu as well? Success is lovely, but over-promotion is not.
I wish this recording had been a solo of Andrea Bocelli.
Why can’t pop singers sing a spoken and musical phrase together in one breath without everyone broken up into three, or a breath after every second word? So laboured, it makes me feel exhausted! Nice idea though.
“Why can’t pop singers sing a spoken and musical phrase together in one breath”
For the same reason that so many can’t get by without Autotune or Melodyne.
Alison Krauss is my favorite singer anyways. And they both sound so good together.
Bocelli s voice is a shameful ruin, but his merit is finding female voices that reveal their special beauty when duetting with his.
Such an amazing voice. Saw him in concert. Best ever. .
Am I the only one who thinks AB is a lousy singer?
Best to keep quiet about it or you’ll be accused of snobbery, and much else besides. You know how it goes.
Leave it alone.
Absolutely not.
