Alison Krauss - Windy City

A strong entry in Krauss's oeuvre. Like all of these latter-day records of hers, the songs tend to meld together in a bit of an indistinct stream of niceness, but, well, it is very nice.

An aside: having just spent a few minutes listening to some older favourites in a row has made me think I should go into her back catalogue properly: "Every Time You Say Goodbye", "New Favorite", "So Long, So Wrong", her interpretation of "When You Say Nothing At All"...classics (and, not coincidentally, tending to have the bluegrass elements much more upfront).
