Alison Krauss & Union Station, 2002
Alison Krauss + Union Station Live was recorded on April 29 and 30, 2002 at the Louisville Palace in Kentucky, apart from "Down to the River to Pray", taken from Austin City Limits, and released by Rounder on November 5, 2002. It runs 100:30 over two discs, 46:19 and 54:11, and the band is Alison Krauss on vocals and fiddle, Jerry Douglas on resonator guitar, Dan Tyminski on guitar and mandolin, Ron Block on guitar and banjo, Barry Bales on bass and Larry Atamanuik on drums. It reached 36 on the Billboard 200, number 1 on Top Bluegrass Albums and 9 on Top Country Albums, went two-times platinum, and won the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album at the 46th awards; "Cluck Old Hen" won Best Country Instrumental Performance. A DVD of the concert went platinum.
Paste's Kerry Dexter found Krauss especially vibrant on "Ghost in This House" and "When You Say Nothing at All", and Rambles called the DVD one of those rare concert videos that was done with great care. On disc one, "Broadway" (3:57, written by Sidney and Suzanne Cox) is followed by "Ghost in This House" (4:29).
