I've owned three of their albums since they were released back in the late 60's/early 70's. Classical baroque rock by Julliard trained musicians. Allmusic compares them to The Left Banke and The Zombies. P-man, I think you will like them. I will be on the lookout for some clean copies.Laura
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss "Raising Sand" 2007 Rounder Records 180g LP
Okay, I gave this record another try/spin today. I really want to like this record, but I'm sorry... it just doesn't "do it" for me. I can't get into it, even though I want to.Maybe one of the reasons is that this album is so distinctly a T-Bone Burnett production. I've kind of gone sour on his various productions over the years. Lack luster; all sound the same. This record just isn't exciting like I know both Robert Plant and Alison Krauss can be. The music and vocals don't sparkle, no sizzle. When you think of Robert Plants electrifying and emotionally rendering vocals and timing... well this ain't it. Neither does the album really show Alison's finesse, subtlety and heart tugging appeal.Anyway, it goes this way sometimes. This is my experience. YMMV. Anybody have any reactions to this collaboration?
Listening to Jeff Beck, Blow by Blow as I write -- it's been a few years and I'd forgotten how good this is musically.
Davey,are those albums from your side of the pond? I have not heard of either.Laura
