FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Alison Krauss - "When You Say Nothing At All"

[@vickilloyd7472]

This woman has 27 Grammies! Perfect pitch, angelic voice... she's one of a kind! This was first done by Keith Whitley, who passed away too soon. You should check him out too. His voice.. so good 😊

[@billwalker7556]

I always preferred Kieth Whitley's, the original version, but her version is good too.

[@vickilloyd7472]

@@billwalker7556 I don't disagree. I wish people would react to her other stuff. She's one of my all time favorites and she has so many beautiful songs.

[@billwalker7556]

@@vickilloyd7472 Yes she does have many hits and beautiful voice.

[@billwalker7556]

Dylan Scott does a good job covering this song in his live shows.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

@@vickilloyd7472 "The Lucky One" is one of my favs.

Not a banjo, a mandolin. BTW, Allison is an amazing fiddler.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Someone called the mandolin "the biggest little instrument"

[@bnowlin48]

The Mandolin, 4 pairs of strings, tuned like a fiddle adds the color to the music!

[@oldiron1223]

That is a young Serra Hull on the mandolin. She is in her mid 20's now and is busy showing all the Bluegrass "old boys" how it's done.

[@W1Fqutube]

Reminds me of raindrops

[@Rosiepooh75]

Alison did backup vocals for all of Dolly's albums for 10 years straight. Voice of an angel...

[@davidpahlka6301]

Didn't know that about Alison. She had a great teacher.

[@marcuspfister2047]

Thanks for this information. Didn t know about her backing vocals for Dolly Parton.

[@caretaker158]

The guy playing guitar, on the right side of the screen, is Dan Tyminski, who did the singing for George Clooney in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou"

Allison Krauss has a voice of an angel.

[@markkraft6719]

Alison Krauss has one of the best singing voices ever! What an awesome human!

[@joeldobson1709]

Robert Plant & Alison play great music together.

[@curtismarsh4528]

She is currently touring with Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant. The Queen of Blue Grass and the King of Rock. Her talent is amazing. The number of Grammy awards speaks for itself.

[@davidburgess3882]

"Raising Sand" is an incredible recording.

[@deannaledford1270]

It's the Appalachian mountain in their voice oh beautiful.

[@chriswebb7822]

Just saw her and Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) together earlier this month!! It was an amazing show!

[@gwilli9511]

The Whiskey Lullaby video with Allison & Brad Paisley is a must see.

[@cliveklg7739]

My cousin had this played for one of her wedding songs.

[@neildonley9626]

And, she is a champion fiddle player.

[@garywheble4534]

Listen to Alison when she goes blue grass with her Violin in the song sawing on a string

[@overd002]

Not a big fan of modern country, but I will drop everything to hear Alison Krauss sing a song. She has such an amazing voice.

[@wajj1842]

When someone asks me if I like country music, my response is 95% is not worth listening to, and sometimes worse than that. But 5% is about as good as it gets. "Crazy" is one of the best songs ever composed (Willie Nelson) and performed (Patsy Cline). And that's just one example of how Great country music can be.

[@strider8933]

Utterly angelic!

[@tom7471]

Usually country and bluegrass are not my first musical choices (though this song is arguably something else), but Alison Krauss (and Emmylou Harris as well) tips the scale for me. She has such a pure voice, with great power. She has won the third most Grammys of any musician of all time, yet somehow she seems so underrated. Thanks for reacting to her.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Britt, that instrument is a mandolin. Alison is such a talent. Voice of an angel and a master on the fiddle.

[@jmpmusva]

I got to see her and the band 5 times! 3 times front row center in a small club.

[@frankmerris8821]

If there is singing in heaven this is what i imagine

[@captainkangaroo4301]

I recommend Alison Krauss and Union Station “The Lucky One.”

[@fayesouthall6604]

I love that !

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

I just saw Alison live with Robert Plant a few weeks ago. I cannot describe how ethereal and arresting her voice is live. Their music together is amazing. I also highly recommend anything Alison Krauss has done with Vince Gill. They did a show where they played each other’s songs and it’s one of my favorite performances ever.

[@chriswebb7822]

Me too !! Amazing!

[@runrunrun_runaway2607]

so jealous

[@teresaslocomb362]

She plays the violin or fiddle in most of her songs with union station

I played Alison Krauss so much I nearly wore out several CDs -- back in the day. I adore her voice!

[@dianeritthaler7792]

She has such a sweet amazing voice❤🎉

[@Grrr036]

Alison Kraus has such an angelic voice. Of all the singers I've heard in my lifetime, her voice literally 'melts' me. I could listen to her sing all day, every day. Simply one of a kind. Beautiful.

[@loveloochay]

🎼🎼🎼🤍🎼🎼🎼 .. good morning. Your fantastic journey has brought through many of the great Country Music singers , and now you know the real gem of them all ,, Alison Krauss. I think every person could remain happy if they listened to Alison .. Vince Gill .. Merle Haggard .. Dolly Parton .. Patsy Cline .. Alan Jackson and Don Williams sing a little every day. Thank you Britt .. I loved this selection .. ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️zz

[@davidoistrash]

Allison krauss is the best. Voice of a freaking angel. ❤️ also that's a mandolin not the banjo. Allison also plays the mandolin

[@patrickohannigan8962]

That gorgeous little fill you noticed that helps bring the song to life is from a mandolin. But Alison can sing like an angel with any band behind her, and she harmonizes amazingly, too.

[@jurgenschmidt2759]

if you want to hear one of the most amazing cooperations in music, you should listen to her together with the still incredible Robert Plant, there is a tiny desk concert of the both of them, that is sooo good.

[@charlieh3998]

Sings like an angel

[@PlayIt4Wordgames]

This is from the tribute to Keith Whitley. You should listen to Don't Close Your Eyes. Keith could write some lyrics!

[@SharonLathanNovelist]

Alison Krauss is the leading lady of Bluegrass music. I was blessed to see her perform four or five times, with Union Station, in our small town. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@matthewdooley7855]

Voice of an angel. She's got an amazing tenderness in her voice, even when she's at 100% power. That instrument is a mandolin, and it's a lively thing. Ricky Skaggs, who can play about anything, is a good mandolin player. Hear it a lot in bluegrass!

[@kadedutton5525]

My beautiful wife walked down the aisle 21 years ago to the original version (Keith Whitley) of this song. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@wajj1842]

I would not be able to hold back the tears if I watched the woman I love walking down the aisle to this song. An internal emotional explosion!

[@Furball-8994]

Have you heard the version where AK and KW are dubbed together for a duet version. Two of the most iconic voices blended together is simply surreal.

[@ericsteffen5619]

Alison did a great cover but Keith Whitley was the original and took it to #1 on the charts. He died of alcohol poisoning while attempting to mend a broken heart according to the rumor mill. The man had a voice that could touch your soul!

[@willdallas53]

No he died of alcohol poisoning while being a drunk. His brother had literally just been with him an hour before he died and he said he was fine and acting normal.

[@GeorgeD1965]

true, he did a good job, but Allison has a better version

[@joannredden7751]

She did it better

[@tinasmallwood9546]

President Obama loves country music and he loves Alison Krauss with her band Union Station. Always pitch perfection.

[@dixiechicken2643]

Pure beautiful bluegrass music.

[@isg01010]

My favorite Alison Krauss song is "Paper Airplanes". She has a fantasitic live performance of this song on Letterman. Also, the mandolin player, Sierra Hull, is an absolutely incredible musician and singer. (That is a mandolin when you said "isn't that a banjo"). Also, the guitar playing is the great Dan Tyminski who was the singing voice of George Clooney in the movie Oh Brother Where Aren't Thou.

[@everettthompson7463]

If you ever see the music video it will break your heart then break it again. Love Brad. Love love Alison!

[@mikeholton3914]

one of the greatest, most underrated voices in all of music, by everyone who doesn't know who she is and what she's capable of. people been sleeping on Allison Krause for far too long. lovely voice lovely person.

[@ronstoner1823]

I saw her in concert, she opened for Dwight Yoakam. She is truly awesome.

[@farmerbill6855]

If Angel's sing, they sound like Allison Krause. Not a banjo, it's a mandolin.

[@pikeman0357]

The most pure voice ever!!!

[@shawnnixon2811]

She is my favorite female country artist. She sings country, bluegrass, gospel and plays an awesome fiddle.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

This performance is from the Country Music episode of PBS' "In Performance at the White House" from November of 2011. Alison was preceded by The Band Perry, and followed by James Taylor. She was accompanied by her Union Station band mate Dan Tyminski on guitar and her protege, and child prodigy, Sierra Hull on the mandolin. Dan Tyminski is probably best known for voicing over George Clooney's singing voice on "Man of Constant Sorrow" in the Coen Bros. movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?", and singing lead on the Avicii song, "Hey Brother".

[@billwyatt2449]

she has an angelic voice. me thinks

[@someperson6053]

Krauss is one of those singers where I know how amazing her voice is, and yet every single time when I begin to listen to a song of hers, I am still *surprised* by just how amazing her voice is.

[@JohnG500]

Alison Kraus is true country bluegrass music. One of the best. Pure voice of an angel. She’s incredible live too. Check out a few of her other songs. You won’t be disappointed.

[@KarlaElaine100]

One if the purest voices ever.

[@davidphillips4476]

Live, recorded Alison's voice is pure etherealness in it's beauty. she is The Queen of Bluegrass, 27 Grammy's and a total of 46!!!! Grammy nominations.

[@Acoustic_strings]

I have said it before and will say it again, thus woman could sing my death notice and I'd love to hear it

[@RaySawhill]

This song always made me think it was about a woman who wants her verbally-ungifted partner to stf up, but she knows she can’t order him to do so, so she comes up with this apparently-a-compliment way to accomplish it. Fun to watch you react to these very sweet country (and country-esque) performances. Another couple of singers you’d be great on are Iris Dement and Eva Cassidy. For Iris, find a video where she sings “My Town” with Emmylou Harris, or her own solo-at-the-piano version of “My Life” on the Tonight Show. For Eva, look for live performances (she’s fun to watch) of “Over the Rainbow” and “Fields of Gold.” Very touching stuff in both cases.

[@heinleinreader]

You could say that it can be expressed but not explained. And a version of this song from a different artist is in the film Notting Hill.

[@DewayneGore]

Oh, and by the way, the gentleman playing guitar next to her is Dan Tyminski, the actual singer of "Man of Constant Sorrow" that was lip-synced by George Clooney on the movie "O' Brother, Where Art Thou?".

[@richardrocha1096]

She also do a duet with Robert plant mandolin this is blue grass Appalachian mountains

[@leeallen9182]

Thank you!!!

Performed live. No auto tune here. Just the perfect pitch of Alison Krauss and some of the best musicians in the country.

[@KellyRobinette]

You should check out Alison Krauss singing “These Dreams” with Heart. I didn’t know I needed that in my life until I heard it. She also did James Taylor’s “Carolina in my Mind”. Oh my! I think you’d like both. Great reactions! Love your channel.

[@ruthlow4058]

[@johncheney950]

She has such a beautiful voice. I saw her with Robert Plant several years ago. What you thought was a banjo is actually a mandolin.

That voice is why so many artists want to work with her, from just about every type of music. It's also why she's the queen of the Grammys (27), no female artist has equaled her. That instrument is a mandolin.
