If bluegrass music is experiencing a surge in popularity of late that it hasn't seen in several decades, no small credit -- make that considerable credit -- goes to Alison Krauss and her peerless band, Union Station. Not even in her teens when she started her stellar career, Krauss has made a habit of flouting stodgy bluegrass conventions by applying her crystalline soprano voice and award-winning fiddle playing to risky covers of songs from the world of pop and rock music. But that doesn't mean she's disrespectful of the tradition. Now That I've Found You offers the best tracks from Krauss's first five albums, plus songs from other projects and previously unreleased material. Highlights include a radiant version of the Beatles' "I Will," recorded with banjo man Tony Furtado; the gospelish "When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart," recorded with the Cox Family; and two previously unreleased gems, a lovely, lilting take on the Foundations' infectious Top 20 hit from 1968, "Baby, Now That I've Found You," and a bluesy interpretation of Bad Company's "Oh Atlanta." Risky stuff but beautifully done. Daniel Durchholz, Barnes & Noble
