Raising Sand

Very well done, a lot of diversity in the music. One of my wife's favorites.

Allison Krause is the sweetest, loviest person on the globe. Good for Plant for lending his rock god name to a project that is her essence as a late life bid for irony. Good show Bobbie!

Many months ago, I ordered the CD "Raising Sand" from Amazon.com. I received a defective CD that had obviously been returned,repackaged and then sent to me in response to my order. I corresponded with Amazon and was told to return the CD and I would receive a replacement. I returned the CD and as yet have never received a replacement CD. I have been jacked around with excuses, but no CD. Keep my money and the CD. I don't have the time to waste on a shyster operation. You are a bunch of crooks. I may order from your outside suppliers - I've never had a problem with themn - but I will never order another product directly from Amazon.com.

As a fan of both Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, I initially thought this was a strange pairing, but found it to be an amazing collaboration. The music at once is old-school and contemporary at the same time. It reminds me of a new singer-songwriter I recently came across-Arrica Rose...her new album La La Lost melodic 70's folk with a touch of country...old-fashioned and modern.

Got high Hopes but was a bit dissapointed by it all !
I think that the combination could have been tremendous but the album did not excite me at all .. I thought Alison could have tuned up better ..
But it is only me !
