Alison Krauss, along with her band the Union Station, helped bring bluegrass to a new audience in the '90s. Krauss blends bluegrass with folk. She is known for her platinum-selling 1995 compilation Now That I've Found You when she became a mainstream star.

When she was five years old, Krauss began playing the violin, taking classical lessons. She soon started performing country and bluegrass. At the age of eight, she began entering talent contests in and around Champaign. Two years later, she had her own band.

In 1983, when she was 12 years old, she won the Illinois State Fiddle Championship and the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass in America named her the Most Promising Fiddler in the Midwest.

In 1985, Krauss made her recording debut on an album, playing on a record made by her brother Viktor, Jim Hoiles, and Bruce Weiss.

The album was called Different Strokes and appeared on the independent Fiddle Tunes label. Later that year, she signed to Rounder Records. She was 14 years old at the time.

In 1992, Alison Krauss & Union Station released Every Time You Say Goodbye. The album appeared in the country charts and Krauss' videos were shown on Country Music Television. I Know Who Holds Tomorrow was released in 1994. But it was the 1995 compilation Now That I've Found You: A Collection that made Krauss a star. The album reached number two on the country charts and went into the pop Top Ten and sold over a million copies.
