st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } Fans of Alison Krauss can begin watching for her DVD special, A Hundred Miles or More: Live from the Tracking Room, on PBS this month. PBS signed a three-year licensing deal to show the special, originally taped for GAC.   A Hundred Miles or More: Live from the Tracking Room was shot in June of 2007 and features songs from her album similarly titled A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection. Krauss' band, Union Station, consists of musicians Barry Bales, Ron Block, Jerry Douglas and Dan Tyminski. Other artists on the album include Brad Paisley, legend James Taylor, John Waite and Tony Rice. Paisley joins Krauss for a performance of “Whiskey Lullaby,” a song that won CMA Song of the Year, Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year in 2005.  The DVD was shot in studio to almost re-create the magic of Krauss’ original recordings of the songs she performed. Viewers also get to see how things work for artists recording in the studio.  PBS stations with confirmed air dates include those in Erie, Penn., Philadelphia, Arkansas Public Television, Seattle, and Montana Public Television. Other stations in Georgia, Idaho, North Carolina, West Virginia and Wisconsin picked up the special but have not decided upon an airdate.
