A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Alison Krauss & Union Station live at the Vetter Stone Amphitheater in Mankato, Minnesota. What a night! Willie Watson did a splendid job opening the show, which was no small task. The stage was packed with world-class talent including the “Swiss army knife” of stringed instruments, Stuart Duncan, along with Ron Block, Barry Bales, Russell Moore, and the legendary Jerry Douglas. Everyone was in great form including the incomparable Alison Krauss. Just… WOW!. They’re touring all over this summer in support of their new album, “Arcadia.” If they come near you… go see em! You won’t regret it.
