The Cox Family from Louisiana comprises father Willard, son Sidney, and daughters Evelyn, Lynn and Suzanne. Alison Krauss was a fan of Sidney Cox’s songwriting, and had recorded several of his songs on her first few Rounder albums. She also admired the beautiful voices and harmonies of his sisters, and the family band’s debut album on Rounder Records in 1993 (Everybody’s Reaching Out For Someone) was Alison’s first venture into producing other artists.
The following year Alison collaborated with the family for a gospel album, I Know Who Holds Tomorrow. Perhaps surprisingly, it remains Alison’s only full album of religious material, although she has recorded many individual songs. Stylistically it’s acoustic country with bluegrass instruments subtly augmented by drums, piano and steel guitar, all tastefully played and arranged.The album won a well-deserved Grammy and I would recommend it to any fan of Alison Krauss- she is part of an ensemble here, but the Cox women have heavenly voices to match hers, and the album as a whole is as close to perfect as I can imagine. - MyKindOfCountry.com
