Ha ha. I know exactly what you mean, and have had similar conversations w/ friends before about other people w/ 10/10 looks/talent, and have come to the conclusion they just HAVE to have horrid toenail fungus or webbed feet or something. But Alison is different. She was already winning fiddle contests at the age of 10. She just happened to grow into a gorgeous woman. Her pure talent far exceeds the field of typical 10/10's.I have a theory that now includes Alison Kraus. I first developed it watching a Diana Krall show. These women are so beautiful and talented, their genes are skewed. There has to be a trade off somewhere in their lives. I thought maybe Diana Krall has uncontrollable ransid body odor and maybe Alison Kraus does something awful like keeps all her boogers on her steering wheel or something. Otherwise it is unfair they're gifted so.
Diana Krall is married to, and has twin sons with, Elvis Costello. Is that considered a "trade off"?

Personally, I think it sonically surpasses Raising Sand. And that's going by the vinyl for both.Amazingly, their second album released this past November, "Raise The Roof", is equally as great as their first...

are you talking about the tiny desk? It's the one before that, from post #23, that is now set to private on youtube.I also love how their "Tiny Desk" bits are not tiny desk, but now we've moved to an entirely MUSIC STUDIO venue, which isn't exactly why that whole concept was conceived. If you have enough power and clout, apparently you can influence everything. Sad, tho.....
p.s. - charlie I can see it okay? it's not a country restricted thing. Not sure.
