Alison Krauss was a violin prodigy at age 14 and most of her friends were unaware that she could even sing. The genre is Bluegrass which is actually different from Country music. The emotion on your face expressed, I believe, the emotion that she elicits from most people when she sings and when she plays her violin. Her group is Union Station. One of my favorite songs is by Alison Krauss and James Taylor, How’s the World Treating You.
