And it's hard to think of a better back-up - in any genre. Although I don't have it yet myself, I would recommend her new double album "Live" (a full concert recorded at the Louisville Palace in April '02) featuring Jerry Douglas, dobro (say no more, squire), Dan Tyminski (the voice of George Clooney on Man of Constant Sorrow in O Bruv and main Soggy Bottom Boy - and one of my all-time favourite film scenes) on guitar, Ron Block on banjo and guitar and Barry Bales on bass (both 'say no more squires, too). This new albums getting a lot of airplay over here at the moment - particularly her version of the old Fortunes hit 'Baby, now that I've found you' and (I think the original cover of) 'When you say nothing at all' (so wish they had used Alison's version in Notting Hill). PaulC PS If you like the sound of slow soulful dobro (oh, bejeesus) take a listen to their live version of 'New Favorite" http://www.mp3.com/alisonkrauss
