Alison Krauss
gets introspective and personal on her seventh album, one of her solo outings that shoves
Union Station
in the background while conventional
country
steps up to the spotlight. But
Krauss
is a little too sharp for Nashville standard, so
Forget About It
sounds more like an adult
pop
album with occasional notes of
grace. Unfortunately, the material here isn't very inspired (despite a dip into the
Todd Rundgren
songbook and the fine title tune), and
herself has a hard time elevating it. Still, her fragile, angelic voice is capable of working wonders, which it often does with even the weakest of songs. A marginal effort. ~ Michael Gallucci
