Alison Krauss & Union Station’s most recent CD release doesn’t contain any new recordings, though there are bonus video tracks included on the disk. Home on the Highways is a retrospective containing tracks from a number of different previously-released projects, and is available exclusively from Cracker Barrel. In addition to 11 audio tracks, the CD also contains video interviews with the band and an “impromptu jam session.”
