Raising Sand by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
They've been playing the first single, the VERY catchy and blues-y "Gone Gone Gone" on WXRT a lot lately.
Everyone knows Robert Plant (Been a Long Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Time -yes it has) and Alison Krauss plays with Union Station. She is more of a folk/rock and bluegrass artist.
They sound great together. Most of the album is more mellow than "Gone Gone Gone". Most of the songs were all written 30 or more years ago.
The album was also produced by the legendary T Bone Burnett who has practically worked with everyone in Nashville and did all the music for film, Walk The Line.
I am not a huge country music fan, but I love the folk elements of the record, which are mostly the storytelling aspect of the music.
You can listen to the whole album if you click on the link.
Check for other reviews in the future.
