Did You Know?
This bluegrass song was first performed by The Osborne Brothers and featured on their 1972 album Bobby and Sunny. Alison Krauss covered it for her fifth solo album, making it the title track.
The song deals with the breakdown of a relationship in the glare of Chicago's big city lights. "I like Windy City because she doesn't blame what's happening on him but on the atmosphere of the place. They came from a simple life," Krauss told UK newspaper The Sun.
Windy City was Krauss' first solo release of new material in almost eighteen years, and comprises ten covers of classic songs that she handpicked with producer Buddy Cannon. Krauss had wanted to work with the legendary producer ever since she recorded her part on "Make the World Go Away" for Jamey Johnson's Living for a Song album in 2012.
