Raising Sand
Date undefinedThis is an outstanding album. Amazing blend of voices that I wouldn't have imagined. Best buy for me this year.
Raising Sand
Date undefinedPlants 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.
Raising Sand
Date undefinedOne 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.
