Later additions included Alison Brown<\/a>, Tim Stafford<\/a>, Ron Block<\/a>, Adam Steffey<\/a>, Barry Bales<\/a> and Larry Atamanuik<\/a>.

Alison Krauss and her band Union Station aren\u2019t what you\u2019d call prolific. After all, this eighth studio album from the bluegrass outfit comes 14 years after its predecessor, the critically acclaimed Paper Airplane. As any Krauss fan knows, though, the 27-time Grammy-winning multi-hyphenate prioritizes quality over quantity, and the 10 new songs comprising this collection are no exception to that rule. Krauss and the band produced Arcadia alongside fellow Grammy winner Gary Paczosa (Dolly Parton, Sierra Ferrell), with IIIrd Tyme Out\u2019s Russell Moore joining Union Station in place of longtime guitarist Dan Tyminski, whose own solo and side projects have picked up significantly in the near decade and a half since Paper Airplane\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

Arcadia opens with the Jeremy Lister-penned \u201cLooks Like the End of the Road,\u201d a dusky and dramatic ballad with a sparkling vocal from Krauss, whose voice sounds as pristine as it ever has.<\/p>\n

Moore\u2019s guitar retains the Southern gothic moodiness once brought by Tyminski, and his lead vocal on tracks like \u201cThe Hangman\u201d offers a sturdy, soulful counterpoint to Krauss\u2019s honeyed soprano\u2014notably, Moore is the most decorated male vocalist in International Bluegrass Music Association history. Other highlights include the Tyminski co-write \u201cThe Wrong Way,\u201d which lets Jerry Douglas shine on dobro and lap steel guitar, and closer \u201cThere\u2019s a Light Up Ahead,\u201d another Lister tune with gorgeously atmospheric production that really gives Krauss space to soar.<\/p>\n
