"I am Weary (let me rest)" - The Cox Family
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KF9aboincMc
My phone played this track from the album "Down from the Mountain" while shuffling my entire library. I could swear Alison Krauss is singing. Looked up the video of the performance and I don't see AK there.
Perhaps a backup track? Quick Google search says AK produced and collaborated on a Cox Family album release and they performed other songs together. Maybe Suzanne Cox and Alison Krauss just sound identical...
She sings on other tracks from the album, maybe it's an uncredited backup track like you suggested.
I went to a concert of the performers on that album called the Down from the Mountain tour. She was awesome.
I heard the O' Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack and the Down from the Mountain tour were huge in Europe. Since they didn't have much exposure to Americana / bluegrass before.
I don't normally listen to bluegrass or country, but the O' Brother Where Art Thou? movie soundtrack and Down from the Mountain spin-off concert tour are two of my favorite CDs.
She does a great version of Just A Closer Walk With Thee.Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Up Above My Head
