Additional Raising Sand Information
|
The musical collaboration of the decade, Raising Sand is the sound of two iconic figures stepping out of their respective comfort zones and letting their instincts lead them across a brave new sonic landscape. Despite hailing from distinctly different backgrounds, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant share a maverick spirit and willingness to extend the boundaries of their respective genres. This spirit, expertly honed by producer T Bone Burnett, has resulted in an album pitched three steps beyond some cosmic collision of early urban blues, spacious West Texas country, and the untapped potential of the folk-rock revolution.
Supported by the unparalleled musicianship of Marc Ribot, Dennis Crouch, Mike Seeger, Jay Bellerose, Norman Blake, Greg Leisz, Patrick Warren, and Riley Baugus, Plant and Krauss -- as both solo and harmony vocalists -- tackle an intriguing selection of songs from such tunesmiths as Tom Waits, Gene Clark, Sam Phillips, Townes Van Zandt, The Everly Broth! ers, and Mel Tillis. Raising Sand finds Robert Plant and Alison Krauss exploring popular music's elemental roots while still sounding effortlessly, breath-takingly contemporary.
The song "Killing the Blues" is featured in the new JC Penney American Living Campaign.

Perfect harmony and balance. The kind of mellow music I can relax to and enjoy every word or fall asleep to and count on having pleasant dreams.
The CD came to me in perfect condition, as advertised. The CD itself is AMAZING. I've been playing it on repeat since I purchased it. I highly recommend that you buy a copy for not only yourself, but for everyone that you care about as well.
It was a great idea of Robert Plant en Alison Krauss to make this album together. It is a brilliant example of blue-grass music. These voices matching perfectly. No.6 is my favorite song, greatfull.
Excellent cd. It shows you a side of Robert Plant and Allison Kraus that is truly enjoyable.
If you saw the Cross Roads special on television, you'll love this recording. A good mix of the beauty of Alison Krauss' voice and the gravel sounds of Robert Plant.
