Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, ‘Raising Sand’ (Full CD)
Ever since Robert Plant formed the Honeydrippers and sang the cover “Sea of Love”, I’ve forgiven him for ever being anything but Led Zeppelin. Now with the help of T-Bone Burnett, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have teamed up to produce the best collaboration since last year’s duet by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris. Though the timing of this album being released just before the holiday season seems a little suspect (its got Burnett written all over it), you kinda have to forgive them for this match made in heaven.
