Alison Krauss/Robert Plant 'Raising Sand'
Posted by: Bruce Woodhouse on 16 October 2007
This has been getting some good reviews in advance of release next week, and the clips I've heard sound good. Not the most obvious collaboration but perhaps it works!

The new single sounds good. The cd should be very interesting and looking forward to it.

Never bought anything by Plant. Got this on pre-release from a friend in distribution and it's magical. If I had to pick out one factor it would be the genuis production, as ever, of T-Bone Burnett. The voices ain't bad mind!!!

Played this through a couple of times yesterday, and then wanted to play it some more - it is that good! Very 'hairs on the back of the neck' in places and all highly enjoyable quality music.

Crystal voiced bluegrass/country singer. Multi award winning platinum albums etc. The albums with Union Station are exceptional IMHO, even if Country is not really your thang.

Delivered by the postie this morning - very nice indeed, not quite what I was expecting either. Alison Krauss has really taken the blues out of bluegrass

I'm so glad that you are all enjoying this after flagging it up. Amazon appear to be sending mine by carrier pigeon. Still waiting.....

its well produced and the sound quality is very good but a bit too countryfied for my tastes.

It's pleasant enough but I agree with those who find it a bit too 'yee-haa' for their taste
