The band underwent numerous personnel changes in its early years, but the current lineup has been together since 1997's ''So Long So Wrong'', with Ron Block and Barry Bales having been around even before that, since 1992. In addition to the group's releases together, guitarist Dan Tyminski provided the singing voice for George Clooney in ''Film/OBrotherWhereArtThou'', while Jerry Douglas has released more albums on his own than Union Station as a group.
