Great CD, lots of variety

Very well done, a lot of diversity in the music. One of my wife's favorites.

Surprising but exciting combination.

Excellent CD, made me appreciate the ART of music again. Couldn't wait to see them in concert, and not only did that back up the quality of the CD, but made me love it even more. What a team!

Loved it

I had only hear Gone, Gone, Gone before I bought this. None of the other songs are like the one I had heard, but I have really enjoyed this album. It is sometimes fun, sometimes touching and Alison Krause has the voice of an angel.

Allison Krause I love you!

Allison Krause is the sweetest, loviest person on the globe. Good for Plant for lending his rock god name to a project that is her essence as a late life bid for irony. Good show Bobbie!

The musical collaboration of the decade, Raising Sand is the sound of two iconic figures stepping out of their respective comfort zones and letting their instincts lead them across a brave new sonic landscape. Despite hailing from distinctly different backgrounds, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant share a maverick spirit and willingness to extend the boundaries of their respective genres. This spirit, expertly honed by producer T Bone Burnett, has resulted in an album pitched three steps beyond some cosmic collision of early urban blues, spacious West Texas country, and the untapped potential of the folk-rock revolution.

Supported by the unparalleled musicianship of Marc Ribot, Dennis Crouch, Mike Seeger, Jay Bellerose, Norman Blake, Greg Leisz, Patrick Warren, and Riley Baugus, Plant and Krauss -- as both solo and harmony vocalists -- tackle an intriguing selection of songs from such tunesmiths as Tom Waits, Gene Clark, Sam Phillips, Townes Van Zandt, The Everly Broth! ers, and Mel Tillis. Raising Sand finds Robert Plant and Alison Krauss exploring popular music's elemental roots while still sounding effortlessly, breath-takingly contemporary.

The song "Killing the Blues" is featured in the new JC Penney American Living Campaign.
