Alison Krauss Forget About It

3 stars out of 5 - "...lovely in a rueful, melancholy way, hanging together as a meditation on an aftermath that calls to mind Neil Young's masterly COMES A TIME..."
7 out of 10 - "...Krauss' voice is a natural marvel, just about the prettiest sound that ever did grace a country album, and she can rescue nearly any lyrical banality by milking it for the high lonesome heartbreak it's concealing..."
"...the sweetest voice in country music....Here she delivers a set of pop weepers leavened with string-band twang....austere arrangements and those marvelous pipes redeem all." - Rating: B+
4 stars (out of 5) - "...acoustic-based, accessible and probably timeless, filled with such soft delights....Exquisite."
4.5 stars out of 5 - "...Shows more of her love for the pop side of things...this is a player's record....The moods are generally blue, but the playing and the artistry is joyful, supporting Krauss' laments with aplomb."
"...Krauss delivers several heart-rending performances....for anyone with a hankering for lush, moving ballads, this is good news."
"...soar away beyond the custom and practice of genre, away above the muso pride and egotism of the master technicians involved....Krauss goes for complication, but gloriously so, with edgy vocal or violin harmonies which might be called high lonesome..."
