Alison Krauss and Robert Plant together. Who'd've thunk it? Yet in producer T. Bone Burnett's capable hands, it's a brilliant combination. Robert Plant brings a subdued, yet confident voice to
Raising Sand, and Alison Krauss' sweet voice compliments his in a surprising musical mix that seems obvious once you hear it. It's not quite bluegrass, it's not quite folk, but who cares what the genre is? The result shines its way through these songs they cover. The BBC says,
Raising Sand is proof that even with such dynamite raw material sometimes things really do add up to far more than the sum of their parts. Superb, in every way"
