Alison Krauss & Union Station: ‘Richmond On The James’

Alison Krauss might be best known for rocking out with Robert Plant, but she’s plenty accomplished in her own right. Fun fact: with 27 statues to her name, Krauss is among the most awarded artists in the history of the Grammy awards. Arcadia, Alison Krauss & Union Station’s first album in fourteen years, finds the beloved roots singer in a stunning cycle of bluegrass, country, and folk music. Let’s check out “Richmond On The James” — the story of a soldier, told from a young woman’s point of view.
