Alison Krauss & Union Station Live
If you love concert DVDs that offer first-rate music, excellent sound and picture, a beautiful setting, and substantial bonus features, thenAlison Krauss and Union Station Liveis destined to become your new favorite. It's not just for bluegrass fans either, as proven by Krauss's crossover success on thesmash soundtrackofO Brother, Where Art Thou?as well as her pop-oriented hits such as "Now That I've Found You."  That song plus "The Lucky One," "When You Say Nothing at All," and others are the perfect showcase for Krauss's meltingly gorgeous voice, and admirers of the concert'stwo-CD setwill also find out how funny she is in her between-songs banter. AKUS has never been all about Krauss, however, so there are also instrumental jams plus featured spots for other members, including Dan Tyminski onO Brother's rousing "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow."The second DVD offers 50 minutes of interviews in which all five members plus drummer Larry Atamanuik discuss their influences, their instruments, and their favorite songs.  There's also backstage and road footage, baby pictures, and more.  Perhaps the only disappointment is that two songs from the CDs are not included in the concert: "Down to the River to Pray," which is heard over the end credits but not shown on stage--presumably because the CD version was not taken from this 2002 Louisville show--and "There Is a Reason."--David Horiuchi
