Four numbers spotlight other band members in hard-line bluegrass, while the star saws away eloquently on her violin. But there's plenty for fans of Krauss's vocal virtuosity. Mark Simos' Find My Way Back to My Heart (whose melody echoes Paul McCartney's I've Just Seen a Face) is a lesson in hard-earned self-reliance; Happiness (lyric by Michael McDonald) has the ethereal Eire sound of Enya.
