Album Review

The title of Rounder's Alison Krauss compilation "A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection" is a bit misleading. While it does contain previously recorded material, it is not to be taken as a greatest-hits package; rather, the 16 tracks are compiled from Krauss' numerous collaborations, soundtrack appearances, and other non-Union Station gigs. That said, it's as solid a set of material as one could want from the multi-talented Krauss. As a voice for hire, there are few singers with her emotional range, a gift she lends easily to the Elvis Costello-penned "Scarlet Tide" from the "Cold Mountain" soundtrack. Award-winning duets with Brad Paisley ("Whiskey Lullaby") and James Taylor ("How'S The World Treating You") -- the latter a Louvin Brothers cover -- as well as collaborations with the Chieftains ("Molly Bán") from the legendary Irish group's "Down the Old Plank Road: The Nashville Sessions") and Sting ("You Will Be My Ain True Love") make this anthology of oddities far from superfluous. "A Hundred Miles or More" also boasts five new cuts, including "You'Re Just A Country Boy," "Simple Love," the gorgeous "Jacob'S Dream," "Away Down The River," and "Sawing On The Strings," the latter of which harkens back to early, more bluegrass-oriented Krauss. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
