Raising Sand

I love the sound of Alison's voice where ever she may be but I did not connect with any of the songs. Their blend was fine in the duets. I was not longing for a bluegrass CD as I am not a fan but this just missed the mark for me.

Seemed like an unlikely pairing when I first heard about this CD, but I like Alison Krause so I gave it a chance. Nice album that improves with repeated listening. Better to mix it with other music though because the chord structure is a little heavy if you just play the CD straight. Alison K's voice is unreal. With that high range, reminds me of a young Baez. Sister Rosetta, Trampled Rose, Gone Gone Gone, and others are really good music. Check it out.

This is one of my favorite CDs. Each song brings up a different emotion. Everyone I have played it for loves it. I play it over and over and enjoy it more each time.

Great album. I saw Robert Plant and Allison Krauss in concert and I knew I wanted to get this album. It is great, in fact, I also bought one for my brother-in-law.

Very interesting, not what I expected, but with a twist. I would reccommend this to all Robert Plant fans who are not afraid of something different but with familiar under'tones' and a fresh face.
