Now you're in a wonderama (Alison Krauss) #489

Alison Krauss + Union Station Let Me Touch You For Awhile (radio edit)/ Let Me Touch You For A While (album version) (Rounder, 2001)

This song gets under your skin...fast!

There are so many plus points: her voice, the simplicity, the way it builds, the innocence (she doesn't mean that kind of touch), the Union Station acoustic guitars and bluegrass hints from the dobro.

And, I love songs that sort of stop start and keep coming back to a central motif. 

Hidden gem: This is a radio promo so not for sale and therefore you get 10 more seconds of the song, but that's cool. I have no problem listening to the song twice.
