Very talented Country artist Alison Krauss has released her latest album titled Lonely Runs Both Ways and Wow! It's good.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Country isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

If you're even mildly into Country music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Lonely Runs Both Ways is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - Rain Please Go Away, track 12 - Doesn't Have To Be This Way, and track 14 - If I Didn't Know Any Better.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 10 - Poor Old Heart. Wow!
