Alison Krauss and Union Station (don’t forget Jerry Douglas!) have been staples in the bluegrass and country scene for years, and with good reason.

Tis the season! We have a little fun looking back on the recording that introduced the world to three furry, high-pitched varmints. The song hit No. 1 on Billboard and grabbed three Grammy Awards, including Best Engineered Record (Non-Classical). The Chipmunks did that...the Chipmunks! Just in time for the Holidays, this podcast won’t be late. We hope you enjoy a short ‘n sweet episode on this nostalgic 1958 recording.

Jeff Buckley’s mesmerizing rendition of this Leonard Cohen song shares more in common with someone else’s version than the original itself. When and how did this song grow out of obscurity and become a staple in today’s music? We talk about the history of the song, it’s many covers, the recording console used on the album Grace, and more. Note to guitar players: Capo at the 5th fret. Forgot to mention that. ;)
