Alison Krauss - A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection

Alison Krauss has released A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection which showcases the divine vocals and virtuoso violin work of Ms. Krauss outside of the confines of her work with Union station.

A Hundred Miles Or More gathers up tracks that have appeared on compilations, and duets that have turned up on other artists' CDs. There are also five previously unreleased tracks, making this far more than a simple repackage. Her duet with Brad Paisley is one highlight, as is the acappella Down to the River to Pray taken from the soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou?

The five new songs also see Krauss taking the controls as producer, and overall this collection hangs together particularly well, and is listenable as a complete album as opposed to the hit-and-miss approach of other similar projects.
