About This Song
About "Cluck Old Hen (Live From The Louisville Palace, Kentucky / 2002)" by Alison Krauss & Union Station
This live take on the old-time standard is a barnyard riot, fiddle and banjo chasing each other like startled hens. The energy is infectious, but there’s a sly tension: the hen’s defiance against the ax. Krauss and Union Station play it with a wink, turning a grim tale into a jubilant release.
