Alison Krauss A Hundred Miles Or More Rare One

Her band is tight and in rare form, and the lyrics talk about missing the ones you love while you're on the road. How many hours 'til I hold him? / How many days before we hit the road again? / Endless highway, he don't know how much I miss him / Heading down this road, bound for Tennessee. Alison Krauss - Too Late to Cry.

Written by bluegrass singer-guitarist Todd Rakestraw, the tune is a very simple, straight-up tune about longing for a lost lover. Alison Krauss sings this song with a very lovely, almost detached sense of longing, drawing home the story even further. You can spend all your time crying / Listen here I don't need your sympathy / 'Cause I've made my life to live it / All I need is you here with me. Alison Krauss & Union Station - Two Highways. © Rounder Records Yet another heartbreak song, 'Love You in Vain' was one of the earliest glimmers of the amount of talent Alison Krauss has come to deliver through the years in her career.
While she sings this song very directly, her brief fiddle solo in the middle is dripping with sorrow and longing. 'm waiting tonight for you to tell me, do you still love me and will you remain? / My heart is breakin' with each passing hour / Please don't let me love you in vain.
