Album: Paper Airplane
At the age of 40, Alison Krauss already has the most Grammy's wins of any female artist with 26. That puts her well ahead of Aretha Franklin (20 Grammy's) and 3rd on the all-time list. Only Qunicy Jones, with 27 Grammy wins, and Georg Solti, with 31 wins, are in her path to becoming the most decorated Grammy-winning singer in history. Considering her last album, Raising Sand, won her five Grammy's, it is really only a matter of time before she makes history, again.
Her latest album, Paper Airplane, flows more into a bluegrass feel instead of contemporary country. The songs are melancholic and heartfelt, the title track beautifully written by songwriter Robert Lee Castleman.
Country music may not be for everyone, but Krauss' beautiful voice and the success derived from her music cannot be ignored by anyone.
