Alison Krauss I Know Who Holds Tomorrow Gospel Music CD Review

Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better I Know Who Holds Tomorrow gets. I Know Who Holds Tomorrow simply stated is one of Alison Krauss's best CDs to date.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Alison Krauss's most impressive releases ever.

If you're even mildly into Gospel music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall I Know Who Holds Tomorrow is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 1 - Walk Over God's Heaven, track 2 - Will There Be Any Stars?, and track 7 - Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11 - Loves Me Like A Rock. Great track!

Alison Krauss So Long So Wrong Country Music CD Review

So Long So Wrong is the latest Country CD put out by the extremely talented Alison Krauss who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Alison Krauss fans, and Country fans alike will be pleased with this one.

This one grabs your attention right from the beginning with So Long, So Wrong and won't let go until the very last note of the very last song There Is A Reason, which by the way is another great track.

Alison Krauss possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with her talent alone. The kind of artist I frankly just flat out enjoy listening to.

Overall So Long So Wrong is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Country collection. Truly an outstanding Country CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 1 - So Long, So Wrong, track 9 - I'll Remember You, Love, In My Prayers, and track 14 - There Is A Reason

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8 - Find My Way Back To My Heart. This is a great track!
