Listen to Alison Krauss, "All Alone Am I", from her new album Windy City. On this track, Alison's voice was record [sic] with her L7 condenser... no preamp, no compression, no equalization, no de-essing.

Used for lead vocals on Raising Sand, as stated by engineer Mike Piersante in this December 1, 2007 Mix Online interview.

As for the all-important vocal mics, Piersante says, “I actually bought a mic, as I'll sometimes do, just for this project. I had Allison singing through a Blue Cactus, which is sort of their retro mic that's like an old [Neumann] M49 or something. Blue got it right with this — it has a real thick quality to it and it's not too bright. Alison can be a fairly bright singer and I wanted something to complement that and not accentuate it. So I chose this mic to try on her and it ended up sounding very good; very old tube-sounding. I probably had her through an LA2, as well. Robert sang on one of T Bone's [Neumann] U47s, and I probably had an LA2 or LA3 limiter on him.
