Summary: Hymns by A;ison Krauss and the Cox Family

a lot to me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great!
Comment: As usual the quality of music on this album is outstanding.....i was born and grew up in the nountains of Western NC and Eastern TN, my mother sang many of these songs as we worked out in the fields..we could hear her singing clear across the mountain.........Sorry, i can't give you an objective opinion about the music on this album, it goes too deep into my heart....
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not exactly what I expected, however...
Comment: This CD is not exactly bluegrass, nor is it exactly southern Gospel. It's more like old-time folk (think O Brother, Where Art Thou). And Allison only sings lead on three songs. However, the recording quality is superb. Very crisp sounding, each instrument stands out. I'm not sorry I bought it, it's just not what I expected.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I don't know who holds tomorrow, however...
Comment: [Disclaimer: Gospel is the music genre I am least acquainted with]
I KNOW WHO HOLDS TOMORROW features the sweetest vocals/harmonies and the most charming performances. I bought other CDs by the Cox Family after enjoying this one for some time, but none have matched IKWHT for charm. "Far Side Bank of Jordan" is my hands-down favorite, but all of the songs here are more than well-performed. Yes, Alison Krauss is a star, but everyone else here shines just as brightly. "Loves Me Like a Rock" is a jubilant version of a classic, and the almost listless (not a fault here) "Remind Me, Dear Lord" works as a lullaby for me. "It's all good." Black Sabbath, eat your hearts out (but bless your dark little hearts, too)!

In addition to being a contest-winning fiddler and an angelic singer, Alison Krauss is also a terrific talent scout. She has assembled a personal stable of the finest songwriters in contemporary bluegrass--John Pennell, Nelson Mandrell, Ron Block, Sidney Cox and Mark Simos--and she has singlehandedly brought Louisiana's wonderful bluegrass/gospel group, the Cox Family, to national prominence. Last year Krauss produced the Cox Family's debut CD, "Everybody's Reaching Out for Someone," and this year she has joined them for a delightful joint gospel album, "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow." The Cox Family includes daddy Willard, son Sidney and three daughters, Suzanne, Evelyn, and Lynn. All five are solid lead and harmony vocalists, but Suzanne and Evelyn are special singers with the same kind of effortlessly graceful sopranos as Krauss. Between them, Krauss, Suzanne and Evelyn take nine of the dozen lead vocals and with the backing of the Cox Family voices and Krauss' regular musicians, the results are enchantingly lovely. Krauss has picked the hymns from a wide variety of sources--Paul Simon, Loretta Lynn, Thomas Dorsey and Dottie Rambo--but they are united by her tastefully understated acoustic arrangements. Nothing quite captures the mix of hopes and fears that make up gospel music like the duet between Krauss and Evelyn on Lynn's "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven (But Nobody Wants To Die)." --Geoffrey Himes
