Alison Krauss has won 26 Grammys

[Fenian_Bastard]

She's a great talent.

I wonder though, if she's won a lot of these Grammys because there wasn't a lot of competition in the bluegrass genre a few years ago.

Of course, she deserves every one of those and more.

I love Allison Krauss, but you hit the nail on the head.

She's won six Grammys for best Bluegrass/Southern Gospel album and three more for best Contemporary Folk album. She's also won 10 Grammys for collaborative work.

Because most of her wins have come in a category with very little competition, her total number of Grammys is somewhat flukish compared to someone like Aretha (21 Grammys). But the fact that Krauss has won a couple Country Album of the Year Grammys, as well as a Best Female Vocal Performance proves that she's not the typical "one-trick pony".

I think it's all those doubles and mixed doubles titles she won.

When she's come up in the past you've said you enjoy her music.

 

[imjustagirl]

Oh. Yeah, I do. A lot, actually. Just had "Let Me Touch You For A While" on my iTunes.

I was afraid of what I'd said in the past.



This thread has actually made me feel better about this board. People I NEVER would have expected to like Krauss do, and that says something about us all getting along or something.

TheSportsPredictor sent me the album she did with Plant months ago. It's been in rotation ever since. I even gave a copy to my dad for Christmas.

Just remember though. Plant blew off a Zeppelin reunion tour for this.

I admire his artistic integrity for doing so, but damn...what could have been.

Yeah, what you said.

I'm a big fan of Krauss, but I was not blown away by her and Plant at Jazz Fest last year. I have to admit I've still never heard their album, but it just didn't feel like a great festival show. In fact, I left just a few songs in. Probably should have toughed it out.

She's awesome, though Gillian Welch is my favorite out of the neo-Americana babes.

Funny thing is - Alison could probably walk through many a mall without bother. While Nashville throws money at the Kellie Picklers of the world.

Are Grammies really that impressive?
Didn't the Be Sharps win a Grammy for Outstanding Soul, Spoken Word or Barbershop Album?

 

[SnoopyBoy]

No joke. Kellie Pickler is brutal. And is there anything more painful that watching Taylor Swift perform live? I mean, she sounded awful live every time I've heard her and she does this awkward stomping thing. It's hard to watch.
