Lefty, I got the gist of your original post, and I thought it was bizarre when I saw the show, that AKUS was just gonna be the backup thread. Wasn't that your point? Now we're talking about who looks better, and Alison's integrity??? Alison has a sweetheart of a deal with Ken Irwin at Rounder records, Jerry Douglas gets good billing, and Shania's married to one of the best producers in the world. And yes, I know that sex sells. But Alison, who dresses somewhat demurely, is outselling Rhonda Vincent, who'll show off her belly button in a minute! And there are women who are less attractive than Alison, who'll never see the inside of a hit record, because they don't have that "face" appeal that Alison does. Now, who's more talented? Alison plays fiddle, and Shania strums a guitar. Shania writes, Alison doesn't. Shania dances around, Alison stands still... I'll let you guys decide. |

"Just had a funny thought, when you mentioned covering each other's songs. Can you imagine Allison Krauss singing That Don't Impress Me Much, or Shania singing Down in the River to Pray? I think the results would be cringeworthy, but also fascinating..." It sounds like you know what they're going to sound like before it's even happened. ------------------ |

18 grammy's And one of the workingest studio musicians too, She sings back up harmonies and fiddle parts on a lot of rockier projects. Alison could sing most anything she wanted to and t do it right. So she can sing anything in her vocal range.. which is pretty wide. Shania singing some of Alisons harder parts might be questionable, |

Both ladies have disticntive voices, Alison being more distictive. I enjoyed hearing Alison and the band do backup vocals, a very good job. I thought the arrangements were really full considering they were all acoustical as compared to the originals. The last Shania album was pretty unique having two discs with different versions of each song, one using country or bluegrass instruments. I liked both, but got to have some fiddle, steel, banjo, dobro and guitar. Lefty |

"Alison has 18 grammy's, more than any woman and more than anyone in country music. Shania has 3." And Eminem had NINE Grammy's after his first three albums??????? |

Alison's music is so good, I'm sincerely surprised she's won any awards at all. |

(FWIW, it was a joke--the image of Allison Krauss prancing around and hamming it up for the camera a la Shania struck me as kind of funny...) -Travis |
