Robert Plant and Alison Krauss: 'Raising Sand'Collaboration in its true form
Published on: 10/30/2007 BLUEGRASS
"Raising Sand"
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Rounder. 13 tracks.
Grade: B+
The year's most unexpected musical pairing actually works. Despite hailing from distinctly different backgrounds, country fiddler/singer Krauss and Led Zep's sonic hedgehog move beyond what you might imagine in this foray into rootsy country and folk.

MOST POPULARA low-key Plant harmonizes beautifully with Krauss in atmospheric, blurred covers of Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt, Mel Tillis and the Everly Brothers, along with the bluesy Plant-Jimmy Page collaboration "Please Read the Letter."
"Raising Sand" is the sound of true collaboration.
