29. "let me touch you for a while," alison krauss + union station
delicate, nearly-erotic bluegrass from the genre's queen. "don't hardly know you/but I'd be willing to show you/I know a way to make you smile/let me touch you for a while": alison krauss is singing a song about a one-night stand?! its unexpectedness, and further, the fact that she makes it sound like a coo rather than a come-on, is what gets this record across and makes it succeed. dan tyminski's gorgeous harmonies don't hurt, either.
