Product Description
Alison Krauss's second Rounder effort builds on the promise of her debut, further honing her blend of traditional and contemporary, an artistic tactic that would have a huge impact on bluegrass and bluegrass audiences throughout the 1990s. Still only 17 when she waxed this one, Krauss handles old-time rags, gospel favorites, and modern country with equal flair and almost-annoying perfection. This was 1989 and her widespread critical acclaim had not yet translated into commercial acceptance, but Two Highways catches her at a time just before the polish began to sand away the rougher edges of her sound. Rough, however, is a relative term because, then as now, it's impossible for this phenom to ever sound anything but smooth. --Marc Greilsamer
