Alison Krauss and Union Station - Lonely Runs Both Ways

The one after New Favorite and, like that other, pretty, fluent, and for the most part too smooth-sounding to be particularly memorable. Overall, the album is weaker than its predecessor, which had a handful of genuine standout cuts - "The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn", "The Lucky One", "New Favorite" - but it's still perfectly listenable.
