5 out of 5 stars
A TIMELESS SOUL MOVING EXPERIENCE * OUTSTANDING * PHENOMENAL* & TRULY EXTRAORDINARY! DESERVES A GRAMMY
The mysteriously sublime fascinating energy, stellar vocal quality and amazing musical delivery ROBERT PLANT and ALISON KRAUSS have created IS RAISING SAND. A tribute to rock and roots music, delivering heart and soul moving range, the songs and the care in creating an outstanding musical experience is all too evident. You can "feel" their care, heart and soul in the music.This CD cannot be pinned down to one single genre because it bridges and interconnects rock, blue grass, country, R & B, and even a distinct quality with each song that is entirely unique. PLANT and KRAUSS' voices are extraordinary. The interplay between them creates a moving, exciting EXPERIENCE.The WAY they sing grabbed my heart. They exude a depth and passion that stirred me at my core. Their extraordinary & rare qualities makes this music timeless.ROBERT PLANT IS TRULY OUTSTANDING - his passionate delivery is nothing shourt of soul stirring. While I don't like to single out specific songs because the album as a whole is a statement of collaborative genius, I was especially moved by how he sang "Please Read the Letter". There are parts of the song towards the end that you can hear his 1970's fascinating style. He's still got that one-of-a-kind magic and its deeper, richer, at its pinnacle.ALISON KRAUSS HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL - it is rare indeed to experience so much range. To sum it up in three words, RAISING SAND is RICH, DEEP AND EXTRAORDINARY. I was especially moved by her voice and energy in "Trampled Rose" - ironically, the incredible song has a "Kashmir-esque" quality to it. It is HIGHLY ORIGINAL and PHENOMENAL.The instrumental music is soul stirring.ROBERT AND ALISON, THANK YOU FOR MAKING MUSIC THAT MOVES THE SOUL. I am thrilled and ecstatic for you - who deserve as much joy as this CD is sure to bring millions. You both deserve a GRAMMY for this CD - 10 Stars!Whole lotta love,Barb[Tech Update] The MP3 of the full album downloads perfectly with Amazon's music downloader. The quality of the MP3 is EXCELLENT. WELL WORTH the small download fee.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Truly signficant
    Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2007

    This is wonderful listening. Even more, it's truly significant. That's in part because of the reaction _ I don't how many times in the last few months I've read about what seems to "critics'' and others to be a truly strange pairing. Something like: "You'd never expect two singers so far apart to team up, but it seems to work.''

    That's nonsense (except the part about it working _ it doesn't "seem,'' it's real.) That's because the "critics'' and others put music in boxes and can't understand a pairing of "bluegrass,'' (the quotes are intentional) and heavy metal. This is Americana, but Americana as interpreted by Plant, Krauss and T-Bone Burnett that transcends category in a way that few albums do. Look on top. How many different categories does it rank No. 1. _ Rock, pop, folk, international. That's what music should be but too often isn't because the folks who run record companies and radio stations want to put music in the narrowest possible category.

    It's also a breakthrough for all three artists, including Burnett, but especially Krauss, who in her last few albums has boxed herself in with very nice listenable material that's too often predictable. A couple of the albums won Grammys(she has 20)and they're incredibly well produced and performed, but after a while one Robert Lee Castleman song turns into another and the effect is underwhelming.

    On this one, she uses all her talents, even, perhaps even as the excellent producer she is _ Burnett clearly took her advice and Plant's on some of the songs. Her country/bluegrass fiddle turns into gypsy violin on "Sister Rosetta,'' producing a haunting effect that's rarely heard in this kind of music.

    Beyond that, I've never heard an album where the voices blend so well that it's hard to tell where one stops and the other picks up _ Tom Waits' "Trampled Rose'' is the exemplar of that and the most fascinating and haunting song on the album.

    But it's almost all wonderful and it ends with what sounds very much like a little game being played by Burnett and Krauss in particular. The last number begins with Mike Seeger on autoharp leading into a Doc Watson gospel tune. Seeger discovered Elizabeth Cotten, who was his family's housekepper, and he was one of the pioneers who convinced record labels to record roots artists, Watson among them. It's also the most Krauss-like _ it's closest to what she does, right down to using a gospel number to close her albums (and her shows.)

    But most of this is totally new territory for both artists. Maybe Krauss should have gone there a decade ago or maybe the timing is perfect. It's one of the few albums _ Luncinda Williams' "Essence'' is another _ that can get away with slow tempos and minor keys on two-thirds of the songs and not sound repetitious or boring.

    Again, it's most important because it defies category. Other artists are trying _ Ben Harper and Norah Jones, with whom Krauss guested on a Bonnie Raitt show/CD/DVD are mingling pop, rock, country, gospel and reggae (in Harper's case.) The more the younger generation goes beyong genre and into "just music,'' the better off we'll all be. (Uh, no, Plant, at 59, isn't exactly the younger generation, but he's been looking for new frontiers for a decade or more.)

    He's also a Brit and Brits tend to understand American music better than most Americans. In any case, people like Mark Knopfler, Steve Winwood, Van Morrison and even Jagger/Richard stay away from boxes. (And, by the way, I just heard Krauss do a wonderful version of Winwood/Traffic's "I Can't Find My Way Home'' on XM) It was issued three years ago as part of a TV Soundtrack. So yes, she's known for a long time that there's a big wide world of music out there.

    This landmark album makes that point even more strongly.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Silk thread on a rugged leather (4.5 stars)
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    Even in my home country of central Europe this eclectic album full of American rootsy tunes was hailed in the music press -- no wonder, since Robert Plant and his group Led Zeppelin were enormously popular in our part of the world and many people still like him a lot. For me though, this CD is the best thing he's ever done. In the years the popular music suffers from lack of any originality, it is the match Plant/Krauss, made really in musical production heaven, that made this album such a sensational success. And, of course, Mr Burnett (the man behind "O Brother" soundtrack) should never be forgotten.

    Robert and Alison's voices sport an amazing chemistry together. Krauss's tender timbre is among the most beautiful voices of our days and on Plant's subdued mumbling it sounds like a silk thread over an old, rugged, ornated, VALUABLE piece of leather.

    Arrangements are spare and rich at the same time, some songs are stronger than others. The highlights are tracks two and three, "Killing the Blues" and "Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us", with the otherwordly quality (created by typical american instruments and heard on the entire album) being at the very best. Rockier are "Gone Gone Gone", "Please Read The Letter", "Fortune Teller" and "Nothin", which remotly remind the listener of another great collaboration of recent years, between Jack White of The White Stripes and Loretta Lynn on her 2004 album "Van Lear Rose".

    Alison Krauss voice proves really versatile throughout the album. On "Rosetta", best track that it may be here, she sound a bit - believe it or not - like Agnetha of the super Swedish pop group ABBA singing some of her ballads. And the very Americana "Trampled Rose" has Krauss in the similar mood as the "Little Sparrow" reprise track on the Dolly Parton album of that name. Krauss was among the wonderful group of musicians that helped Miss Dolly on her 2001 offering.

    The musical marriage of British hard rock tradition carrier and Nashville's biggesst treasures is thus among the most unique and memorable music deeds of 2007. It successfully mixes country and bluegrass with rock, folk and blues. Know what? Just wait for the next Grammies in February 2009 and then count the awards. Till then, listen with open mind and enjoy this exquisite stuff. And believe the hype.
