Krauss on GAC rescheduled for 8/11-20
In June we told you about an upcoming special on GAC TV, featuring Alison Krauss performing songs from her latest Rounder CD, Hundred Miles Or More. In mid-July, we posted again to alert everyone that the initially announced air date of July 14-15 had been canceled, with a later date to be announced.
Now comes word that the show will finally air in August, starting with the 8/11-12 weekend.
The concept of this one hour special, shot live in the recording studio, is to showcase the songs on the latest CD, many of which feature Alison in duet with other notable vocalists. The program will include her singing with country star Brad Paisley on their duet hit Whiskey Lullaby, and with famed singer/songwriter James Taylor on The Louvin Brothers’ How’s The World Treating You?”
She is assisted throughout by her stellar band, Union Station (featuring Jerry Douglas), with guest appearances from Tony Rice, Sam Bush and Stuart Duncan for Sawin’ On The Strings, perhaps the only purely bluegrass number on the show.
The special will debut on GAC Friday, August 11 at 9:00 p.m., and later that same night at 1:00 a.m. (technically Saturday morning). It will run again the following Saturday evening (8/19) at 8:00 p.m., with one additional showing on Sunday (8/20) at 3:00 p.m. All times are Eastern.

Brance and I had the good fortune to attend last night's concert in Salem, VA by Tony Rice with Alison Krauss & Union Station, featuring Jerry Douglas. That's a long name for a concert bill, but with the stature of the various artists slated to perform, what else could you call it?
