ROBERT PLANT & ALISON KRAUSS "raising sand" cd,2007
probably as an unlikely pairing as you would expect to get, but whatever, it works beautifully IMO...
i could have put this one in country,jazz or here, i opted for here for all the Plant fans among us...
a covers album happening here...but not a straight covers collection, they have re-worked these old songs into something totally new that sits alongside their personalities perfectly,
in fact , when i got this i didnt even know a lot of these were covers, so i guess i have ignorance on my side here also...
T-Bone Burnett(elvis costello's producer) takes the reigns on this one and lends a hand on guitar also, and he does a wonderful job twiddling the knobs IMO, the whole thing sounds fresh and alive...
a very,very good album that continues to grow on me everytime i hear it, so it should get a love rating next time round...
