Last time I saw her, she was touring with Robert Plant and was playing in Wembley Arena. The Royal Festival Hall is a much nicer venue, and she was accompanied by Union Station, her band of some twenty years featuring Dan Tyminski who shares vocal duties.<br \/>\nThis concert was billed as being part of the London Jazz Festival &#8211; something I found curious, as it&#8217;s clearly bluegrass\/country. Still, if it gets them here, then I&#8217;m not bothered.<br \/>\nThe musicianship on display is fantastic, never more so than during a solo performance from Jerry Douglas who played a truly wonderful medley on his dobro.<br \/>\nI especially enjoyed her cover, from early in Krauss&#8217;s career, of Baby, Now That I&#8217;ve Found You, as well as a reminder that When You Say Nothing At All is a country classic, even if British audiences now think of it as a Ronan Keating song.<br \/>\nFor an encore, the band played largely around a single microphone, attenuating the volume by moving nearer or further away. An exceptional evening.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adambowie\/6346443923\/\" title=\"Alison Krauss &amp; Union Station by adambowie, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6047\/6346443923_86a94d3f48.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Alison Krauss &amp; Union Station\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do love hearing Alison Krauss.
