Alison Krauss on Her First Album With Union Station in Over a Decade, ‘Arcadia,’ and the Long Tour to Follow: ‘I’m Champing at the Bit’

Alison Krauss says she's 'champing at the bit' to get out on tour with Union Station for the first time in 11 years, after releasing 'Arcadia.'

It’s funny — I was looking at the track list before hearing the record, and saw “North Side Gal” there and thought, “Oh, great, Allison’s going to be singing a JD McPherson song after being out with him on tour for several years,” he having been a member of your and Robert’s bad, as well as your opening act. There is a song on this album called “The Hangman,” based on an old poem about demogogues, that some people have thought is maybe intended as an allegory for our current times or political situation.
