Lonely Runs Both Ways, Alison Krauss and Union Station's 2004 Rounder Records release, arrived as the follow-up to New Favorite and continued the band's unbroken run of critically celebrated recordings. The album features the fully mature lineup of Dan Tyminski on guitar and lead vocals, Ron Block on banjo, Jerry Douglas on resonator guitar, Barry Bales on bass, and Krauss as fiddler and vocalist. 'Pastures of Plenty,' the Woody Guthrie labor anthem, sits alongside original material like 'My Poor Old Heart' and 'Rain Please Go Away.' The album earned multiple Grammy Awards and demonstrated that acoustic string band music could command the full attention of mainstream audiences without abandoning its core character.
