Free Music Review: A must have CD for the summer, and always
Hit: 5 Stars
I love Led Zeppelin, have most solo Robert Plant CD's, and this is a must have if you want to listen to Plant on a more controlled level. The songs on this CD are classics from the past, most youth of today would never recognize. Old songs from the 50's that trace back to early Rockabilly, the style Plant cut his teeth on. The spotlight is shared with Alison Krauss, and her voice is complimentary to Plant, with the two taking turns throughout the album with back-up vocals for one another, and there are a few solos from them both. I recommend "Fortune Teller" as a future single, it's got a great beat, amusing story, and the ominous voice we come to expect from Robert Plant. Buy this album, you won't be disappointed. And, if you get the chance, be sure to see the pair in Tennessee at Boonaroo in July, or with me September 27th, in
Austin, Texas at the Austin City Limits Music Festival!!!
Free Music Review: Music that captures the imagination
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are expecting Led Zeppelin, or Plant's earlier solo work, well, this isn't it. This is different. This is music to listen to, on a hot summer day, sitting on the old tire-swing among the sun-dappled trees, somewhere in Georgia. It's music to listen to at dusk, from the safety of your back porch, while you watch the ghosts flit among those trees. It's real, true, honest music that evokes the shadows of earlier times.
Plant and Krauss so completely capture that almost painful exquisiteness, that sweetness, that... I am at a loss for words.

How could we not see this coming? For the first several months it was out, I overlooked this piece as someones bad joke. I guess I should have listened to it first. I was surfing on the tube, and came to a CMT special featuring the duo. It grabbed me and wouldn't let go. After having "Please Read The Letter" in my head for several days, I ran to the store to be a customer. I'm playing it all the time, how could I have missed it from the beginning? If you waqnt a technical review, there are plenty here. Just go buy it.Free Music Review: Unledded And Uninspired,

This is a waste of time. I saw these two together on one of those tv shows that I can't remember the name of where the pair unlikely duos for just such nonsense. Saw Joss Stone with LeAnn Rhimes, Pat Benatar with Martina McBride and skipped over several other even more nonsensical pairings. The result on most occasions is just the novelty of it. A rock singer and and a country singer performing together as if they'd only met the day before and then laughing at how honored they are to be in each other's presence. It's all for the cameras, just like some reality show.
The worst part of this tv show I saw and the only part that stood out because of how terrible it was was the bluegrass version of "Black Dog". If there's any collaboration to be avoided by diehard Led Zeppelin fans it's this junk. What's wrong with it is that it's boring.
Like all these other pairings it is stupid to assume that Pat Benatar and Martin McBride ever had anything in common with each other anymore than Joss Stone and Leann Rhimes.
The people that write these reviews use lots of big words and colorful phrases to that really say nothing. We all ready know that Plant is a tenor and all the other adverbs don't do anything to disguise the fact that Robert Plant is now as boring as anybody else. No real Led Zeppelin fan would be caught dead with this. This is just another attempt to make it appear that some heavy metal singer has branched out or is expanding his horizons. All he's doing is selling out. As for Ms Krauss, I don't know who she is nor do I care. There is nothing exceptional about her or her music. Don't delude yourself into believing that just because it has Robert Plant's name on it that it must be good. I'm sure that's what they'd like you to think. Sorry this is one dullest, dismal disappointments of all time.

Really love this CD. Great combination of music that just makes you feel good. Hard to put a distinct sound to it, kind of rock, country, Celtic, etc. A great blend of two great artist. Highly recommend.
