That's a long time.
Krauss has put out a solo record and one with Robert Plant in that time, but as far as I know the band has only put out one song on a Johnny Cash tribute disk.
Technically, the album, Arcadia, isn't out until the end of March, but we have the first song, "Looks Like the End of the Road".
Save losing the extremely talented Dan Tyminski (I mean, I'm guessing he didn't want to wait a decade and a half to work again), AKUS doesn't really change things up too too much with this song.
Krauss' voice is still amazing and Jerry Douglas still shines on Dobro, as he always does. The mandolin is great. The writing is nice, but the execution is near flawless. A criticism of their last disk in 2011 was there was almost none of Krauss' (or anyone else's) fiddle on this album, and I don't hear it on this song.
I'm just saying, fiddle is fairly important to bluegrass music, and her playing is so strong.
Still, "Looks Like the End of the Road" is a strong opener for their new disk.

I truly love her talent and voice . I love this song . Some of the instrumental accompaniment resembles “Whiskey Lullaby” which she did with Brad Paisley. She is beyond perfect musically in my eyes . Thanks
