Why Should the Fire Die 2LP

Alison Krauss steps away from the boards, and Tony Berg and Eric Valentine take over, with bassist Mark Schatz joining the trio for the first time. The record climbed higher than anything before it, number 17 on the Billboard 200, plus the top spot on both the bluegrass and independent albums charts. Two Grammy nominations followed, one for the album itself, one for "Scotch & Chocolate." New hands on the dial, same sharp results.
