Free Music Notes for Raising Sand
Free Music Review: Beautiful Combination of Talents
Hit: 5 Stars
This treasure of a CD combines two remarkably unique and distinct talents (with other great musical people) to make the most memorable recording of 2007. Some have said that their voices don't mesh. Listen to "Please Read the Letter" and you will hear that they work beautifully together. The choices of songs are also great. It is a haunting and quiet collection of songs that comes off as a singular, powerful statement.Free Music Review: Robert Plant at his best
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm not very familiar with Alison Krauss' work, but I can say for sure that this CD is for for those looking for anything resembling Led Zeppelin. Plant once again shows his versatility in a very intimate, soft mood throughout the disc.
The collaboration between the two singers, however unusual, serves to benefit the whole disc. Their matching voices make it a real pleasure to listen to this album.
Free Music Review: Amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
Raisng Sand is an amazing collaberation between a rock star {who I had not heard of}, and a folk singer....who I love. My favorite on the CD is "Killing the Blues". This is haunting, melancholy, and gorgeously beautiful....the two voices blending like they had sung together forever. I had to e-mail the J.C. Penney people to find out who was singing this song on their TV ad. and they sent me the information. When I saw that T. Bone Burnett was involved with the music, I knew it had to be good...since he had such a big part of the "Oh, Brother" music. This entire album is great !!!!Free Music Review: Pretty Good Mix
Hit: 4 Stars
This is an interesting blend of two very different styles, and it mostly works. Both Plant and Krauss have solos that highlight their different tastes, but together they sound better. The duets are stronger pieces, and the hit "Gone Gone Gone" is a hit for that reason. Worth listening to more than once, to appreciate just where these individual artists are now, and where they could go, and sometimes you can imagine where they might have gone had their choices been different early on.Free Music Review: Best CD in a very long time.............
Hit: 5 Stars
Plant and Krauss, although an unlikely duo, have put together a CD that is both thoughtful and fun. I love every song on the CD......it stays in my CD player all the time.
