 Raising Sand December 1, 2008
This is an outstanding album. Amazing blend of voices that I wouldn't have imagined. Best buy for me this year.
breathtaking November 27, 2008
Plants voice is breathtaking-better than ever; the music pieces are deeply soulful, almost spiritual in nature. The moment I cracked the wrapper and slipped the CD into my casette, I loved it.
One particular reason this record is outstanding... November 26, 2008
One particular reason this record is outstanding, apart from the tight band and amazing vocals from both Krauss (whose voice I've always loved) and Plant (who I've never been a fan of until now) is T-Bone Burnett's song selection. Specifically, his recognition of former Byrd Gene Clark's songwriting talents is on full display on two tracks, "Polly Come Home" and the overwhelming rendition of "Through the Morning, Through the Night". The latter was on Repeat for two days after I got this CD and it moved me the 50th time I heard it as much as it did the first.
Can't recommend this album enough. Enter with no preconceptions and find some spectacular music and performances.
Surprising Result November 25, 2008
Others have given plenty detail describing the album itself, how the pairing of these two artists works and assessments on the songs themselves so I won't go into length on those. What I will say is that as a hardcore rocker dating back to my concert days in the 70's, I didn't have the highest of expectations for this album. But, being open minded and having great respect for Robert Plant, I thought I'd give this one a listen. Boy was I pleasantly surprised by their end result. Although my wife isn't as open minded as I am and doesn't really care for this type of music, I can say the opposite is true of me in that I have listened to this over and over. I loathe country music but this isn't really country. I love rock music and lean more toward Alice in Chains, when I'm in the mood for something a little different but yet still totally enjoyable, this one fits the bill. It may not be for everyone or even for you, but maybe you'd be surprised like I was and actually fall in love this this album.
AWESOME November 24, 2008
I AM SO EXCITED THAT I BOUGHT THIS CD. THIS HAS BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITE CD'S ALREADY.
