Alison Krauss and Robert Plant duet: Raising Sand. Album coming out this week (Tuesday I believe). Sounds good.

I heard it all on Saturday night. A friend had it on his ipod on. don't know how he got it but....nevertheless he had it.
LOVED it !!!!! I'll get it tomorrow when it's released. Hope they do a tour.

I'm listening to it right now. It's kinda country-ish and overall on the mellow side. Not bad at all.

I have just finished listening to it and it is amazing! Allison is a great vocalist and it is great to see and listen Robert Plant aging gracefully. A wonderful album...and I too hope they tour together. Highly recommended!!!!

Rarely do two voices go so well together in popular music. Very nice.

Peace, Mooh.

This album is great. Their voices mesh together so nicely and, as mentioned, it's nice to hear how Plant's voice has aged very well. I'll probably have this album playing on my stereo for quite some time.

Hmmm I really want to pick it up. Hope HMV has it. They don't seem to carry some of the cd's I want. Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades put out a really neat acoustic covers cd and I couldn't get that anywhere. I hope the celebrity factor of Plant and Krauss stocks it!

Listened to it a few times over the last couple of days and noticed a few songs have a very noticeable similarity (sound, tone, feel) to some off Emmy Lou Harris and Mark Knopflers CD. Inspiration maybe? Unconcious imitation?

That's for sure. I still can't get that Roadrunning CD off my player or iPod :food-smiley-004:

I just got my own copy of Raising Sand last night at Starbucks. Loading it into my computer as I type.
