Alison Krauss has become very notably famous for her offbeat sense of humor and humorous live anecdotes. She is very fond of classic rock music and has cited bands such as Aerosmith and Def Leppard as personal favorites. From 1997 to 2001, she was married to Pat Bergeson, a member of Lyle Lovett's band, and she has one son, Sam, who was born in 1999.
