Robert & Alison-Raising Sand


I just got this gem on vinyl the other day and i must say its fantastic. Quite the combo doing what they do best!

Anybody else had the chance to listen to this yet?
Opinions?

Cheers

Steve I was wondering the same thing about Alison!

Like they say, I suppose it takes all kinds. Viridian sorry you got a warped one!

It is truly "sunday morning." There's a part of me that thinks all those years Plant spent going to that gathering in the Sahara was influential on this music. Laid back and drifting like the sands.
If you come to this recording expecting to hear either Alison Krauss or Robert Plant in their previous incarnations you'll be surprised, at best, or disappointed.

This album is mostly about T-Bone Burnett's production and Mark Ribot's guitar and banjo. That's a good thing, and the addition of Krauss and Plant's vocals with those elements is strange and wonderful.
Dreadful dreck. Robert should be ashamed of himself. Maybe he just needs the money.

Just when you thought a tune might go somewhere it plunged back into mediocrity.

I took it back and got a $5 used CD credit.
