Music reviews of Now That I've Found You: Collection

Music Review: On a scale of 1 to 5, this is a 10!
Rating: 5 Stars

This album has sold over two million copies and went to the top 15 of the pop music charts and number 2 on the country charts--which demonstrates that her music has wide appeal yet is hard to pigeonhole into one category. Alison and her band Union Station have won a total of nine Grammy awards (so far) in at least three categories (country, bluegrass, and gospel)--and they're still going strong. Yet, putting her into just those three categories still doesn't adequately describe her music: she is truly a unique perform! er.

Part of her uniqueness is that she's achieved her success just by being herself and doing it her way--rather than the usual commercialized way. She is so down to earth in concert you feel like you are listening to her in a park with some friends or could ask her out for coffee afterwards without reservations. She has not bought into the hype and commercialism of the modern music scene; I almost think she wouldn't care about the money, as long as she could still make the music she enjoys--and does SO well.

She has the most angelic, passionate, and achingly lovely voice I've ever heard. I frequently suffer from deep major depression, and Alison's singing is one of the few things that can still touch me in the midst of that. Sometimes I will just play this album or a few special songs over and over and over again when I'm really down in the pit of despair and let Alison remind me there IS still beauty and joy in this world.

This is an album I have giv! en many times as a gift, and it's always been well apprecia! ted. One friend wrote, "I just received nine other CDs from BMG, but "Now That I've Found You" is the one I play all the time." Another friend wrote a thank you note saying, "...I don't think I've ever received a birthday gift that I have enjoyed more. I mean it."

Alison's music is wonderful, and I know of no better album to start sampling it than "Now That I've Found You".
