ALISON KRAUSS’ NEW ALBUM WINDY CITY – OUT TODAY IN NORTH AMERICA

TO BE RELEASED INTERNATIONALLY MARCH 3

“…worth the wait. It’s an early contender for Album of the Year honors; a lush, timeless-sounding album that’s held together by Krauss’ gossamer voice.” —USA Today

“Windy City, her stunning new solo album...is a surprise-filled exploration of the ways country music and pop have intersected and interacted over the years... Imaginatively conceived and executed, Windy City reminds us that what has been most precious in Alison Krauss’s career all along is not just that voice but her singular singing.” —Wall Street Journal

17 February 2017 (TORONTO, ON) - Critics are raving about Alison Krauss’ new album Windy City, her first effort away from her band Union Station since 2007’s Raising Sand and her debut for Capitol Records.  Available via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company, the album is out today and features the 27-time GRAMMY Award winner performing 10 classic songs that she carefully selected with Nashville veteran producer and songwriter, Buddy Cannon. What she and Buddy have created is an unusual and invigorating chimera – an album suffused with sadness that somehow rarely sounds that way. “It’s almost like you didn’t know it was sad,” Alison says, “because it doesn’t sound weak. It doesn’t have a pitiful part to it, where so many sad songs do. But these don’t. And I love that about it. I love that there’s strength underneath there. That whatever those stories are, they didn’t destroy. That that person made it right through it. I love that.” Krauss will be appearing on CBS Late Show with Stephen Colbert on February 20, and CBS This Morning “Saturday Sessions” on March 4.
