“Dark Skies” was written by John Pennell, a songwriter whose work Alison Krauss recorded often in her early years. Krauss included it on her 1990 album “I’ve Got That Old Feeling,” which won a Grammy Award.
The song is a love song that sets devotion against trouble. Dark skies stand for the hard times that may come, and the lyric answers them with the steady promise that love will hold through whatever weather lies ahead.
The album marked an early high point in Krauss’s career.
