Robert Plant/Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
They make a supremely odd couple: the grizzled old rock god and the impossibly sweet bluegrass diva. Despite their differences—or because of them—Plant and Krauss forge a real chemistry on this collection of modal blues and country soul. The Zeppelin vocalist has never sounded so restrained, perhaps to allow Krauss’ exquisite harmonies to shine through on songs by Little Milton Campbell, The Everly Brothers, Townes Van Zandt and Tom Waits. Credit producer T-Bone Burnett for masterminding the magic.
