1. Mine is probably "Everytime You Say Goodbye"
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 06:21 PM by Richardo
...but I love them all - that angelic voice and mean fiddle-playin' chops. What a combo! :loveya:

10. Key to WYSNAA
I heard another cover of that song...by some guy.

A pale imitation! Allison nailed it flawlessly!

12. I've heard that too - it's NOT a "guy song"
He sounds like the worlds biggest wussy singing it...

16. Keith Whitley wrote some great songs!
Too bad he chased his demons with alcohol and died young.

4. Feeling generous on a Friday afternoon
If anyone would like any of these 6 songs, send me a PM with your email addy, and I'll try to email back your requested mp3's (all 192 kbps), if I can remember how.

5. "Ghost In This House"
is an amazing song done by an amazing singer. It's hard to pick a favorite by Allison, because everything she does is perfection!

Bertha Venation and I saw Allison and Union Station at Wolf Trap Farm National Park for the Performing Arts a couple of years ago. A bug flew down from the loge and right into her mouth! She coughed and sputtered for a few minutes while Dan talked to the crowd; Dan said he saw the bug heading right for Allison.

If you ever get a chance to see them, don't pass it up. They do one helluvagood show.

8. When You Say Nothing At All
I have to go with the more mainstream answer....don't listen to country much but have always liked Allison's sweet voice. Another one I like a lot is "Moments Like This" from the Twister soundtrack.

14. "I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby"
Originally on "Slide Rule" by Jerry Douglas, but she put it on her "best of" compilation, so it qualifies, sort of.

Second place is probably "Sleep On"

15. When she gets together with Jerry Douglas
They just open heaven's gate. Saw them do a few numbers on PBS, and it was the cat's ass.

19. I'm usually not a country fan but Allison singing...
"Heartstrings" is like a cool beautiful country spring.
Her voice is just adorable...
