News about Alison Krauss

ADRIAN THRILLS: Although most of their peers, such as Wolf Alice and The 1975, have shrunk, Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher have stuck to their guns, keeping the number cranked to 11. On the duo's fourth album, an old-school approach is apparent. With singer Kerr's use of special effects to make his bass sound like a lead guitar and drummer Thatcher's a strong presence, it's still business as normal. The band's three previous LPs have all reached No. 1, and Back To The Water Below should do the same.

ADRIAN THRILLS: You can often determine a singer by the company they keep. Lucinda Williams' credentials, on that score, are unsurpassed. On Robert Plant's last record with Alison Krauss in 2021, the Louisiana singer appeared regularly with the late Tom Petty and provided backing vocals. Bruce Springsteen and his partner Patti Scialfa are on her 16th solo album, out today. It's easy to see why she attracts the most coveted titles. She started out as a country artist, but her biker boots, leather jackets, and road-hardened rock 'n' roll struggled to triumph over the Nashville establishment, but she soon discovered her niche in beautifully crafted Americana.

Lizzo performed flawlessly at the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in Louisiana on Friday. In a striped jumpsuit with various sex mesh cutouts beneath a denim corset and the matching chaps, the singer and rapper put on a chic display. The Special hitmaker, who turned 35 on Saturday at a fun-filled birthday bash, also wore bold, blue eyeshadow to complement her outfit.

The highly awaited list of 2023 Grammy nominees has finally arrived, and it includes some of the country's best-known artists. The Recording Academy announced nominations in all 91 categories this year, including Olivia Rodrigo, John Legend, and Machine Gun Kelly. Beyoncé is leading this year's pack of nominees for her "Reignaissance" album, making her the most nominated woman in Grammy history. Kendrick Lamar's "Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers" album has eight nominations, followed by Adele and Brandi Carlile, who tied for seven overall nominations. Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Doja Cat, Jazmine Sullivan, Mary J. Blige, and Bad Bunny were among the Grammy nominees for the first all-Spanish language project of the year.

JENNI MURRAY: I didn't mean to be sad for Prince Harry, but I did not expect to find myself cymic for him. Nonetheless, this young man appeared to suffer humiliation after humiliation as the days of remembrance for his beloved grandmother passed by. His face was smouldering, shame, and indignation, and I could only pity a man whose mother's coffin was followed in the full glare of public attention. All seemed hopeful right from the start. He had already been in the country, and I suspect the same is true about his home. He did not hear of his grandmother's death as quickly as the majority of the immediate family. He was still in the air on his way to Balmoral, but he was told as soon as was possible, if not before the announcement was made public. He was with his closest relatives to reveal their immediate grief. His father, now King Charles III, made a moving and heartfelt address to the nation the next day. He expressed his sadness over the Queen's death. Prince William and his wife, Kate, were promoted to Prince and Princess of Wales, and he said, "I also want to show my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives around the world."
