Our Take

In the ever-evolving world of bluegrass, Alison Krauss & Union Station have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Their latest offering, "Paper Airplane," is a delightful blend of haunting vocals, intricate instrumentation, and heartfelt lyrics.

From the moment the opening track "Paper Airplane" hits your ears, you are transported to a world where mandolins and fiddles reign supreme. Krauss' angelic voice floats effortlessly over the lush arrangements, creating a sense of nostalgia and longing that is hard to shake.

Songs like "Dustbowl Children" and "My Love Follows You Where You Go" showcase the band's impeccable musicianship, with each member shining brightly in their own right. The production is crisp and clean, allowing every pluck of the banjo and bow of the fiddle to soar through the mix.

However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Paper Airplane." Tracks like "Lie Awake" and "Dimming of the Day" delve into darker themes of love and loss, adding a depth and complexity to the album that keeps you coming back for more.

In a genre often dominated by tradition, Alison Krauss & Union Station manage to effortlessly blend the old with the new, creating a fresh and exciting sound that is uniquely their own. "Paper Airplane" is a triumph of modern bluegrass music, and a must-listen for fans of the genre.
