Product Description

Grammy-winning artists The Cox Family make their Asylum debut with an album of sweet, warm country and bluegrass produced by platinum bluegrass star and longtime collaborator Alison Krauss. Just When You're Thinking It's Over includes classics written by Hank Williams Sr., Lee Roy Parness, Larry Gatlin, Del Shannon (first single: "Runaway") and Barrett Strong & Norman Whitfield, as well as 4 originals. The group's sound has found a following everywhere - the Cox's were picked by Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz to open on the Crows' sold-out U.S. tour.

Bluegrass star Alison Krauss has resisted many offers to move from Boston's small indie label, Rounder Records, to a big Nashville company, but her good friends in the Cox Family have made just that journey for Just When We're Thinking It's Over. Krauss is involved as guest fiddler, arranger and producer, and she calls on many past and present members of her own Union Station band to help out in the studio. There are drums on every song, and the material is a mix of originals, hard-core bluegrass, mainstream country and oldies. Nonetheless, the distilled rural purity of the previous Cox Family and Krauss albums is maintained, thanks to the spare, understated arrangements. --Geoffrey Himes
