Consistently producing great quality music, Alison has gathered a lot of respect not just as a musician but as an individual person in the music industry. She is well loved by critics and fans alike.After her first album, she was invited to join the band Union Station with whom she still performs. The invitation to Union Station resulted from her past affiliation with bassist, John Pennell. Her first album with the band was titled Too Late To Cry, and was released in 1987. Their second effort came out in 1989 with Two Highways. The same year they got booked to play the Newport Folk Festival. Alison went on to release a solo effort in 1990, called I’ve Got That Old Feeling, which earned her the very first Grammy of her career at only sixteen years of age.This made her the second youngest artist to win a Grammy. The album featured the hit singles “Steel Rails” and the title track, for which she shot her first ever video. Alison and the Union Station boys came out with another great one in 1992, which earned Alison her second Grammy in two years for Best Bluegrass Album of the year. It seems as though, from the very start this band could do no wrong.
