Editorial Reviews: "A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection" is comprised of 16 tracks, highlighting Alison Krauss's career outside of her traditional releases with longtime band Union Station. The album features Krauss's collaboration with John Waite on the single "Missing You," as well as Krauss's contributions to film soundtracks, including the Oscar-nominated songs "The Scarlet Tide" and "You Will Be My Ain True Love," written for the motion picture "Cold Mountain," and "Down to the River to Pray" from the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Known for her collaborations, Krauss also includes several duets in the collection such as the 2003 hit with Brad Paisley, "Whiskey Lullaby," and her duet with James Taylor for the tribute album "Livin', Lovin', Losin': Songs of the Louvin Brothers," "How's the World Treating You." The collection debuts five new songs: "You're Just a Country Boy," "Jacob's Dream," "Simple Love," "Lay Down Beside Me," and "Away Down the River," all of which feature Krauss as a producer.

Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great singer, great selection of songs Comment: This record is a great set of songs sung beautifully by the wonderful singer Alison Krauss. I discovered Alison Krauss when I bought last year's release "Raising Sand", the album of duets with Led Zeppelin's lead singer Robert Plant. The purity and tone of Alison's voice on that record made me curious to hear her other work and this is a great example. She plays a mean fiddle too! I actually prefer this record to Raising Sand. Sorry Robert! There are some fine songs and a couple of old standards, and even a duet with James Taylor. The musicianship on this record is exemplary also. Terrific. Customer Rating: Summary: Angel's Voice Comment: Another great album from Alison Krauss. What a pure angelic voice. Great songs and great vocals. If you are a Alison fan like me, you have to have this one in your collection. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect; but for a melancholy mood. Comment: This isn't for your upbeat, dancing mood; but it is beautiful and satisfying in its own right. Listen to it a few times before making a judgment. I love Alison's pure voice and the simple, heartfelt songs she chooses. The only song that I don't care for is the "Sawing on the Strings", as it doesn't fit the rest of the mood of this more melancholy, yet lovely collection. Customer Rating: Summary: Good singin Comment: I do enjoy this CD. However a couple songs I just don't understand. There is 3 songs that is to sad to listen too. Alison Krauss is still the most talented female singer I know of. Pure talent. So the songs are alittle over my head but I'll still listen to it. Customer Rating: Summary: One of my favorite CD's Comment: Worth every penny. Not one bad track on the entire CD. Highly recommend this to anyone. More Reviews
