This is from the CD of almost the same name (Now That I've Found You), which is the first CD we play whenever we go on a road trip - at first it was on a cassette, then a CD, and now it's an ipod playlist. Usually we start it as soon as we hit the 401. This CD is a compilation of some of Alison's earlier music. It includes stuff she did with the Cox Family, like Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven (But Nobody Wants To Die) - a very catchy number. Since we discovered Alison in the early 90s, she is one of our favourite musicians - although there was bluegrass next door to me when I was young, Alison's the one who opened the door to bluegrass for me in adulthood. Her voice is exceedingly pure and she's a good fiddle player, too. She's also very funny - check out this plug for Ken Burns' National Parks series.
P.S. From a certain standpoint, the lyrics of this song are kind of obsessive, kind of freaky-stalkerish. So just listen to the music and ignore the lyrics if you must.

She has a wonderful voice. Reminds me a little of Emmy-lou Harris in its sweetness and clrity.
