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).

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
