To join, all you have to do is devWATCH this username by clicking on the 'devWATCH' button at the top of this page. It couldn't be easier! :w00t:

Never heard of Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski, Jerry Douglas, Ron Block or Barry Bales? Well you really should. Here are some of the comments made about the group:

"The pure beauty and craftsmanship of Alison Krauss & Union Station's ... sound is undeniable, and somehow they manage [to retain] the spark of honesty that seems to be missing from the recordings of so many of their contemporaries." - AMGuide

"['Live' is] an album of uncommon artistry, a moving testament to how good live music can be in the hands of world-class players." - Alanna Nash

"The depth of [Alison's] musicianship and her band's seamless ensemble playing allow her to juxtapose the propulsion of old-time mountain music with expansive, conteporary-sounding beds of texture deftly crafted from the basics of electric guitar, dobro, mandolin, and her own expert fiddle. [New Favorite is] a fine and timeless recording." - The Boston Phoenix

"…no other crossover bluegrass band begins to meet their mark either musically or emotionally, as New Favorite so amply shows." - Alanna Nash

"From start to finish, [New Favorite] is pure class." - Ray Waddell

"Alison Krauss is to music what dew is to a flower: soft, reflective, and satiating." - Billboard

"[Alison Krauss & Union Station polish their music] with terrific production, the finest instrumentation, and two of the best voices around." - AMG

"In the 15 years the 30-year-old Krauss has been recording for Rounder Records, she has been anointed the Savior of Bluegrass. She pushes the sound well beyond its predictable, stoney-faced boundaries and infuses it with emotion and experimentation." - The Atlanta Constitution

If you don't want to join the club, please add the icon to your journals, etc. We need all the promotion we can get :)

That's all, folks! :)

Apologies to the new members. We appear to be having some problems with deviantART which is preventing the body of the journal from updating. We hope this will be resolved soon, and the member list will be brought up to date. :)

It Doesn't Matter is a really great song. I don't think we've put the lyrics up yet, I might get round to that later today. Thanks for your interest! :)

I was looking through the comments on my page, and thought I would take a look around.

Maybe more promotion is needed?

Anyways good luck with the club, and welcome to DA.
