"Doesn't have to be this way"


There are four songs by Robert Lee Castleman on the 2006 Grammy winning album "Lonely Runs Both Ways" by Alison Krauss and Union Station. They had already used a number of his songs on previous albums. "Doesn't have to be this way" is a haunting piece of music with such clarity of singing and playing. Alison Krauss, for me, has the best voice in popular music. And the dobro playing of Jerry Douglas is breathtaking. Altogether a wonderful track on a great album.
