Due to our blatant support to pop and mainstream music, we sometimes tend to overlook some other genres that might also spark our interest given the chance that appropriate attention had been channeled.
And with this strong veneration to anything considered as ‘in’, we all have this somewhat incorrect notion that only those who are sheltered by the popular genre dominates the well-celebrated Grammy Awards.
You’d be surprised to know that it’s not Taylor Swift, Beyonce or even Mariah Carey to have snatched the most Grammy wins by a female singer despite the fact that they can be seen and heard at almost every corner.
Armed with her dreamy vocals, the sultry sound of her musical instruments such as fiddle, piano and mandolin all mixed up by her early exposure to music fame at the age of 13, bluegrass slash country singer Alison Krauss is currently the title holder of the number of Grammy Awards won by an astounding count of 27.
Born Alison Maria Krauss, this soulful talented singer first made her inglorious mark in the music industry when she triumphed to receive the Best Bluegrass Recording for her track I’ve Got That Old Feeling.
Alison Krauss’ rise to fame had been unstoppable ever since and her name had been established as one of the best country singers to have ever roamed the Earth.
During the entire course of her successful career, Kraus was able to release 16 studio albums, all of which have been positively praised by music critics for her ceaseless attempts to put something new on the plate while retaining the main essence of her focal genre.
Alison Krauss is also being associated and tagged with the musical group Union Station with whom she shared her successes with since their formation in 1989.
Krauss’ first album is a solo act with the title Different Strokes and her last was Paper Airplane, this time with Union Station in 2011.
Alison Krauss is tied up with conductor Sir Georg Solti with having the most number of Grammy wins and she even received a special achievement award by the same award giving body last 2005 for her humongous contributions and always sparkling talent.
Aside from her well-known victories on Grammy’s Krauss’ musical capabilities had also been recognized by different award factions such as the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards which earned her 14 merits, Country Music Association Awards besting 9 awards and is dubbed to be along Tim McGraw as the best country singers, Academy of Country Music Awards and the CMT Music Awards which have both heralded her 2 trophies.
Alison Krauss’ influences can be deduced by bagshot singers and bands with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Dolly Parton, AC/DC, Carly Simon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lou Gramm and Paul Rodgers.
The singer can be remembered well for her internationally-acclaimed tracks such as Baby Now That I Found You, Rich Woman, Killing the Blues, Simple Love, Please Read the Letter, And When I Die.
As of now, Alison and Union Station have been touring to special spots in the United States and there hadn’t been any news of the singer retiring anytime soon.
