Witnessing Alison Krauss's voice live is pretty special. Backed with Union Station, it's a truly moving experience.
I saw Alison & Union Station in an old, small (2,500 seat) venue many years ago. The tears and goosebumps I always experience while listening to her voice and their music was slightly awkward until I noticed I was far from alone in having those reactions...
See, I was 23 when then came out. So, yes, very 80's, but when you lived thru it, the 80's music was a lot like this, and then there was Disco.
Love Don, loved the Eagles too.
I, too, was 23 when this came out. And one of the reasons why I love RP so much is that almost every song I hear transports me back to the place and time in my life when I first heard the song... lots of memories. Some good, some not so much.
I agree. Not sure why/how, but I'd missed that until this listen; had it turned up a little louder in my cheap earbuds at work (how / where I usually listen to RP) - maybe the increased volume is why I caught it this time.
Ditto for me, though I have since bought their complete discography. I find the music relaxing and distracting - I love it.

YES! And such a clear, crisp production.
More cowbell!
Sure...it (ARoBttH) sold 20M albums, but when your prior record sold 9M it's hard to say they hadn't already broken through with Parachutes.
For me, Parachutes was a much better album. But, tastes are opinions, and we all know about those... :-)
