Alison Krauss & Union Station - Paper Airplane

Paper Airplane arrived as a major moment in Alison Krauss’s career, reuniting her with Union Station after years of anticipation. Following the immense success of Lonely Runs Both Ways and her multi Grammy Award winning collaboration with Robert Plant on Raising Sand, this album reaffirmed Krauss’s place at the center of American roots music.

Across eleven carefully chosen songs, Krauss and Union Station weave together bluegrass foundations, acoustic elegance, and emotionally resonant storytelling. The arrangements are understated yet immaculate, allowing space for Krauss’s voice to convey vulnerability, warmth, and quiet strength. Every performance feels deliberate, shaped by years of musical trust and shared intuition among the band members.

Rather than chasing trends or grand statements, Paper Airplane thrives on intimacy and craft. It is an album that rewards close listening, revealing depth through subtle harmonies, delicate instrumentation, and songs that linger long after they end. For longtime fans and first time listeners alike, it stands as one of the most heartfelt and timeless entries in Alison Krauss and Union Station’s catalog.
