She performed with Mike Seeger as part of The Strange Creek Singers and, most famously, with Hazel Dickens as half of the pioneering bluegrass duo, Hazel and Alice. At age 80, Alice Gerrard scored a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album.

This song, “Bear Me Away” is from that Grammy-nominated album, “Follow the Music”. This is how mountain singing is done; there’s no better female mountain singer working today. For vocal control, exquisite subtlety, and sheer, emotional power, Alice Gerrard is unmatched.
