So Long So Wrong

Many bluegrass musicians have incorporated contemporary elements into their work, Jim & Jesse, the Osborne Brothers, and Mac Wiseman among them., but Krauss’s contemporary bluegrass contains particularly heavy doses of pop, folk, and modern country. Whatever style she chooses, her flawless voice and her crack Union Station cohorts usually maintain a high standard. The instrumental “Little Liza Jane” and the traditional “I’ll Remember You, Love, In My Prayers” prove their instrumental chops, and songs like “No Place to Hide,” with an impressive fiddle turn from Krauss herself, effectively mold modern elements into the bluegrass idiom. However, others such as “It Doesn’t Matter” and “Deeper Than Crying” have very little to do with bluegrass at all. A mostly solid contemporary-bluegrass album, except when the contemporary drowns out the bluegrass. –Marc Greilsamer
