Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss is releasing her first album for Capitol Records, Windy City.  The new album is also her first without Union Station since her 2007 collaboration with Robert Plant, Raising Sand.

The new album includes some classic covers like “You Don’t Know Me,” Willie Nelson’s “I Never Cared for You,” and “Poison Love” (recorded by Bill Monroe).

The first released track from the album is “Losing You.” In 1963, Brenda Lee released her version of the song, which was written by Jean Renard and Carl Sigman. Famous record producer Owen Bradley produced Lee’s version. Below is Krauss’s new recording.
