Chanteuse Country US née le 23 Juillet 1971 à
Decatur
(Illinois). Alison Krauss commence l'étude du violon classique dès l'âge
de cinq ans. Elle est rapidement attirée par la musique country et bluegrass. À
huit ans, elle participe à des concours de jeunes talents. Deux ans plus tard,
elle fonde son propre groupe. En 1983, elle remporte à douze ans un concours de
fiddle Illinois State Fiddle Championship.
En 1985, elle participe à son premier enregistrement pour le disque de son frère
Viktor, Different Strokes. Elle enregistre son premier disque en 1987, Too Late
To Cry. Elle devient connue en Europe grâce à sa participation aux musiques de
la série Buffy contre les vampires et à la bande originale du film O'Brother des
frères Coen.
Depuis 1989, elle joue accompagnée de son groupe Union Station, composé de Dan
Tyminski (guitare, mandoline, chant), Ron Block (Banjo, guitare, chant), Jerry
Douglas (Dobro) et Barry Bales (basse, chant).
Elle est l'artiste féminine ayant reçu le plus de Grammy Awards (vingt-six
jusqu'à présent).
Alison Krauss
helped bring bluegrass to a new audience in the '90s. Blending bluegrass with
folk, Krauss was instantly acclaimed from the start of her career, but it wasn't
until her platinum-selling 1995 compilation Now That I've Found You that she
became a mainstream star. Between her 1987 debut Too Late to Cry and Now That
I've Found You, she matured from a child prodigy to a versatile, ambitious, and
diverse musician and, in the process, made some of the freshest bluegrass of the
late '80s and early '90s.
When she was five years old, Krauss began playing the violin, taking classical
lessons. She soon tired of the regimen of classical playing and began performing
country and bluegrass licks. At the age of eight, she began entering talent
contests in and around her native Champaign, IL. Two years later, she had her
own band. In 1983, when she was 12 years old, she won the Illinois State Fiddle
Championship and the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass in America named
her the Most Promising Fiddler in the Midwest. In 1985, Krauss made her
recording debut on an album, playing on a record made by her brother Viktor, Jim
Hoiles, and Bruce Weiss. The album was called Different Strokes and appeared on
the independent Fiddle Tunes label. Later that year, she signed to Rounder
Records. She was 14 years old at the time.
Too Late to Cry, Krauss' debut album, appeared in 1987 to very positive reviews.
The album was recorded with Krauss' backup band, the Union Station, which
featured guitarist Jeff White, banjoist Alison Brown, and bassist Viktor Krauss;
the following year, the group won the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass
in America's National Band Championship contest. In 1989, Krauss and Union
Station released Two Highways, which was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best
Bluegrass Recording. Although the album didn't win the award, her next album,
1990's I've Got That Old Feeling, did. The success of I've Got That Old Feeling
was unprecedented for bluegrass acts in the '80s and it laid the groundwork for
Krauss' breakthrough in the '90s. By this time, Union Station's lineup had more
or less settled. It now featured mandolinist Adam Steffey, banjoist/guitarist
Ron Block, bassist Barry Bales, and guitarist Tim Stafford; Stafford later left
the group and was replaced by Dan Tyminski.
In 1992, Alison Krauss & Union Station released Every Time You Say Goodbye,
which featured a typically eclectic array of material. The album appeared in the
country charts and Krauss' videos were shown on Country Music Television. I Know
Who Holds Tomorrow was released in 1994 and was even more successful. But it was
the 1995 compilation Now That I've Found You: A Collection that made Krauss a
star. The album reached number two on the country charts and -- even more
remarkably -- went into the pop Top Ten and sold over a million copies. Its
success confirmed her status as bluegrass' leading light in the '90s.
Krauss & Union Station followed the unexpected success of Now That I've Found
You with So Long, So Wrong in spring 1997. Forget About It followed in mid-1999.
A year later, Krauss & Union Station joined the likes of
John Hartford,
Ralph Stanley, and others for the multi-million-selling soundtrack O
Brother, Where Art Thou? A North American tour showcasing some of the album's
stellar musicians followed in summer 2002, allowing Krauss and her band's
popularity to soar. New Favorite appeared in November and went gold within four
months. A live album followed soon after, and in 2004 Krauss released Lonely
Runs Both Ways. A Hundred Miles or More, a collection drawn from Krauss' Rounder
albums, along with sides recorded for various soundtrack projects and five
previously unreleased tracks, appeared in 2007. Also appearing in 2007 was
Raising Sand, an acclaimed, multi-platinum collaboration with Robert Plant. She
was back with Union Station for 2011’s Paper Airplane, which was self-produced
by the band and engineered by Mike Shipley.
In 2013, Krauss began work on a solo album with producer Buddy Cannon, but
between dealing with vocal problems and extensive touring with Union Station, it
wasn't until 2017 that the album was released. A collection of classic tunes
performed in the countrypolitan style, Windy City was also Krauss' first album
for Capitol after a long association with Rounder.
