Dear All,

Now i have loved Alison for years, so here i sit listening to her with tears rolling down my cheeks.

Whispering Bob Harris is interviewing her.

Listening to music is a fantastically emotional experience when you have someone as wonderful as her.

So i shall be buying her new album very soon.

Beautiful voice with such a great band.

They also played another beautiful band Nickel Creek, whose albums Alison produced. As you can probably guess i love Nickel Creek too, i have 2 of their albums.

David ... Alison, with and without Union Station, is one of my favorite musicians of all-time ... I'm totally with you on this. She can make me tear up in just a few notes! Really looking forward to the new one. She and her bandmates are truly consummate musicians of equal caliber to any master musician in any genre anywhere on Earth.

I love Nickel Creek, too, especially their first eponymous album, which Alison did produce. I don't think she produced their other albums, though. I wasn't crazy about the second one, This Side, but really like final album Why Should the Fire Die? But still their first is the one that kills me.
