Anyway, classic, obviously. And that's without even talking about the fiddle playing, about which I can only say that she plays like she sings.

All of which is leaving aside the issues of fidelity to her band and her label, her assorted choices to push bluegrass to the places she wanted it to go rather than walking out on it altogether (when every label in Nashville was waving money in her face), a sort of non-purist loyalty to the spirit rather than the letter of the music.

Also, she should record on Sugar Hill or Flying Fish; nothing wrong with Rounder, i think she'd have picked up more versatile production techniques with some other labels.

Her "Now That I Found You" was the first song on the most significant mix I ever made.

but why does it look like she's not singing when she is? she barely moved her lips!
that pic makes her look like cameron diaz. but he nose is much wider than cameron's.

At least five times during Now that I've Found You , I found myself just overcome with joy b/c of the harmonies. Holy shit.
Love her. Love, love, love.

I heard this in the doctor's office today and had to google it, I had no idea about this! I wonder if it led to the eventual collaboration?

Maybe I should post this in the other thread...

That cover of Big Log is a great find.
The video isn't great on this one below but it's a fantastic rendition of a classic
