Forget About It is the third solo studio album by Alison Krauss, released in 1999. It reached number 5 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. The lead single, "Forget About It", peaked at number 67 on the Country Singles Chart, and "Stay" reached number 28 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
Critical reception
Country Standard Time wrote that "despite the prominence of dobro and mandolin here, it's obvious that Krauss is a pop star more than anything else."
