Alison Krauss & Union Station – Paper Airplane

14th studio album by the bluegrass singer Alison Krauss, and her first with Union Station since 2004’s ‘Lonely Runs Both Ways’. Produced by Krauss and Union Station, with studio legend Mike Shipley engineering and mixing, Paper Airplane contains 11 songs of poignancy and austere beauty, chosen with the impeccable taste and unerring intuition that have characterized her entire body of work.

 

It also includes a pair of classic covers – Jackson Browne’s “My Opening Farewell” (from his self-titled 1972 debut album), and Richard Thompson’s “Dimming of the Day” (originally sung by his then-wife Linda on the couple’s 1975 LP Pour Down Like Silver). Since signing with Rounder Records at the age of 14 in 1985, Krauss has sold in excess of 12 million albums and garnered 26 Grammy awards, the most for any female and the third most of any recording artist in Grammy history.
