Alison Krauss & Union Station, who've been on the road since January, have rolled out a slew of new dates that stretch deep into the summer.
The itinerary will keep the group on the move throughout the U.S. and Canada through at least early August. Details are shown below.
On May 10, tour sponsor Cracker Barrel Old Country Store will begin selling "Home on the Highways," a collection of previously released Alison Krauss & Union Station material; the disc--which will also feature "more than eight minutes of behind-the-scenes bonus video footage," according to a press release--will be sold exclusively at Cracker Barrel restaurants and via the company's website.
Krauss and company's most recent collection of all new material is last November's "Lonely Runs Both Ways." The set features several band originals, as well as songs by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, John Scott Sherrill and Mindy Smith, Del McCoury, Woody Guthrie and others.
Last week, Krauss picked up a CMT Music Award for her duet with Brad Paisley, "Whiskey Lullaby" (from Paisley's "Mud on the Tires"), which won in the Collaborative Video fo the Year category; director Rick Schroder walked away with Video Director of the Year for the clip. The cut is featured on Paisley's album "Mud on the Tires."
In May, Krauss and Union Station picked up a nomination from the Academy of Country Music for Top Vocal Group of the Year. The awards ceremony takes place May 17 in Las Vegas.
