Arcadia, som släpps den 28 mars på Down The Road Records är producerat av Alison Krauss & Union Station. Albumet innehåller tio låtar som bekräftar varför gruppen fortfarande är en av de mest inflytelserika och allmänt sett mest hyllade banden under de senaste fyra decennierna. Även under en längre period ifrån varandra har varje medlem byggt en blomstrande solokarriär och samarbetat med några av de största artisterna i världen och kan räkna ihop sammanlagt mer än 70 GRAMMY Awards och sålt tiotals miljoner album - och ändå har de aldrig sluta leta efter och tålmodigt samla på musiken som för dem samman igen!
Mer om det kommande albumet:
Largely written by such modern masters as Robert Lee Castleman, Viktor Krauss, Bob Lucas, JD McPherson and Sarah Siskind, Arcadia’s songs are contemporary reflections of history. But there was one in particular that reunited the band and reignited their focus. “Usually, I find something that's a first song, and then things fall into place,” says Alison Krauss. “That song was ‘Looks Like The End Of The Road.’ Jeremy Lister wrote it, and it just felt so alive – and as always, I could hear the guys already playing it.” As Arcadia’s opening number, “Looks Like The End Of The Road” introduces another imperative new chapter for Alison Krauss & Union Station, and it is available today.
Following 2011’s Paper Airplane, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass and Folk Charts, Arcadiafurther expands the immaculately crafted, endlessly surprising sound that Alison Krauss & Union Station are known and loved for. Recorded in studios across Nashville, Arcadiaalso welcomes brand new member Russell Moore on co-lead vocals, guitar and mandolin. Best known as the frontman for chart-topping group IIIrd Tyme Out, Moore is the International Bluegrass Music Association’s most awarded male vocalist of all time. Alongside Alison Krauss (fiddle, lead vocal), Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar, vocals) and Barry Bales (bass, vocals), each member’s individual talent and acclaim transforms into one single, peerless and unstoppable force. On the songs of Arcadia, Alison Krauss expands:
“The stories of the past are told in this music. It's that whole idea of ‘in the good old days when times were bad.’ There's so much bravery and valor and loyalty and dreaming, of family and themes of human existence that were told in a certain way when our grandparents were alive.
Someone asked me, 'How do you sing these tragic tunes?’ I have to. It’s a calling. I feel privileged to be a messenger of somebody else's story. And I want to hear what happened.”
Furthermore, Arcadia rejoins Alison Krauss & Union Station with Rounder Records founders Ken Irwin, Marian Leighton Levy, Bill Nowlin and John Virant, who first signed Krauss when she was 14 years old – and who first worked with Jerry Douglas in 1975, when JD Crowe & The New South released their eponymous album, commonly referred to as Rounder 0044. Now heading up their own Down The Road Records, the group’s relationship with the band serves as a testament to their enduring friendship and longstanding creative partnership.
On the heels of Arcadia’s release, Alison Krauss & Union Station will perform the music live at 75 tour dates across North America. Featuring Jerry Douglas, the Arcadia 2025 Tour is the band’s first run of shows together in more than ten years, and nearly all of the dates have already sold out. Kicking off on April 17th, and extending through the end of September, stops include iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, LA’s Greek Theatre, NYC’s Beacon Theatre and dozens more, with special guest Willie Watson.
