No other American artist has created as big an impact for as long a time. I believe some of his most impressive work is also some of his least commercial. Some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF92RVQkUm8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ9yLCcKlHk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUOB_kopu_o (the video for the last one is not the movie that song is from and it was not used in that move. The song, "Missing" rolled over the credits for a movie called, "Bound" and was finally released as part of a compilation 3 disc set) My vote is for Bruce Springsteen.

Why: Simply put, Alison Krauss is a once-in-a-lifetime talent. But put her together with incredible all-star musicians like Jerry Douglas, Dan Tyminski, and Ron Block, and you have a musical equivalent of the 1927 Yankees. AKUS pretty much reinvented bluegrass, brought incredible beauty to country, pop, and Alison herself has done so much in other genres. Her latest album was with Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, for example. I've seen them in concert, and it's like listening to the CD. These are no studio products. AKUS is real music, done by real musicians who are masters of their craft, at the highest level. My nomination is Alison Krauss and Union Station. Take a listen, and I think you'd agree. -rsh My nomination:

Alison Krauss and Union Station.
