Originally taped as a GAC television special, this DVD is set in a recording studio environment to re-create the making of many of the tracks featured on Krauss' album, A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection. The DVD offers an intimate look at how Krauss works in the studio environment. One of the songs featured is Krauss' single "Simple Love," written by Sarah Siskind who also penned "Goodbye Is All We Have." Guest musicians Gordon Mote (piano) and Abraham Laboriel Sr. (bass) join Krauss for this very special performance.
Among highlights of the DVD is Krauss' duet with Brad Paisley on "Whiskey Lullaby," which won CMA Song of the Year, Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year honors in 2005. Paisley tells GAC cameras that when he first heard the song, he felt convinced that Alison Krauss had to be part of bringing it to life. "I knew that having her on it was the magic that would make that song timeless," Paisley says. "I felt the song needed that angelic voice. When I get to heaven and I hear the angels sing, if they are anything less than Alison Krauss, well, I'm going to have to come back."
The DVD also features the duet "Lay Down Beside Me," on which Krauss teams up with John Waite, her 2003 Grammy�-winning collaboration with James Taylor on "How's the World Treating You?," a country music classic first recorded by the Louvin Brothers in 1961, and the newly recorded, previously unreleased, "Shadows" gleaned from Tony Rice's catalog and featuring him on guitar.
