So Good!!! The Golden god did it again!! September 9, 2008 Since I got my deliver this morning I can't stop playing it. Their voices work so well together, the music is absorbing and it brings you a very special energy. And if you want a little bit more of the Golden god buy also Might Rearranger another fantastic CD of Plant.
A dreadful waste of talent - and music buyer's money! June 22, 2008 4 out of 14 found this review helpful
Sadly someone obviously suggested to Robert Plant that this would be a good idea....recording a (mostly) countryesque album with Alison Krauss. They were wrong!! I have no problem with Plant (or anyone else for that matter) trying new things, but please..... this was a bad idea that should have stayed just that.... an idea!! Why on earth so many people feel the need to heap praise on this album is beyond me - it has no redeming qualities to my ears whatsoever - even if Robert Plant is involved.......come to think of it that old story of the Emporer's new clothes comes to mind!!
Dark, sexy Americana June 9, 2008 When two of the most distinctive and transfixing voices came together, the result was always going to be interesting but the New Orleans genius T Bone Burnett has picked some fabulous and hypnotic songs which work perfectly. From the siren gypsy call of Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us to the raw power and pain of Nothin, to the bluesy Fortune Teller, this album gets under your skin and into your bloodstream. Absolutely bewitching. And if you can get to see Robert and Alison live, do whatever it takes to get tickets - they just glow onstage and the songs pack even more of a punch live.
musical candy! May 17, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Alison Krauss and Robert Plant get together for a unique album that just gets better as it goes on. Of worthy note is 'just read the letter' To my mind it was such an unlikely partnership but it really works and country/ rock never sounded so good together a worthy addition for any collection.
Disappointing May 8, 2008 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
As a long time fan of both Alison Krauss and Led Zeppelin, I was delighted to receive this album as a present. However, despite the obvious musicianship of both singers and their fine accompanists, Robert and Alison sound like two soloists rather than a duet to me, turning what might have been quite interesting material into something rather boring.
