This will be how I view the CD. I don't presume the reader to have the same values.
It's not Alison Krauss or Robert Plant that impelled me to buy this CD. It was the solid musicianship of the band on the Gone video that I wanted to hear more of.
So it T-Bone and company that caught my ear. And that carried into the songs on this CD.
Thankfully, Robert Plant's subdued delivery added to a listenable experience. I'm not into those wailing vocals of his years gone by. He keeps that to a minimum here.
I have little familiarity with the works of Alison Krauss. So she comes across as subdued, and I'm not enchanted by it. It sounds too innocent.
When they harmonize together, it's nice, but there is no passion that unites them.
But the CD gives me a variety of music styles that makes it more interesting than just a rock CD or a bluegrass CD. To me it's the musicians that deliver the goods: the blues, the folk, the rock and roll.
The great thing is that the singers don't dominate the band. And the notes are crisp. I liked that the best.
Free Music Review: Great Collaboration And Album - Refreshing
Hit: 5 Stars
At first I was hesitant about purchasing this album, but I have over time listened to different tracks and have come to agree with others this is a fantastic collaboration of these two amazing voices with the help of Tom Waits and T. Bone Burnett. The harmonies between Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are beautiful and tender, and some of these songs are haunting. This is just really good music to listen to. I really couldn't give this album a higher rating. Since October, hits like "Please Read The Letter" have been getting very heavy radio play in several different countries, and those who have been fortunate enough to see these two live say it is a phenomenal duo and performance. All of the tracks on this CD are perfect. I echo the sentiments of others that I hope this isn't the last collaboration we see of Mr. Plant and Mrs. Krauss. This is some of the very best music to come out of 2007. Also loved hearing the live version of Robert Plant/Alison Krauss doing a bluesy version of Black Dog on CMT. These two are IT right now among a lot of music lovers. Many thanks to Robert and Alison, splendid.Free Music Review: Buried in Sand

This is the most disappointing album I've heard in quite some time. Alison Krauss is one of the most talented people in music these days, and Robert Plant is in a league of his own. Producer T. Bone Burnett, who did such a great job on O Brother Where Art Thou, and Cold Mountain, has assembled a group of highly accomplished musicians, including Norman Blake. Sadly the music is derivative, highly repetitive, generally ranging from boring to irritating, and contains almost nothing new in the way of musical ideas or sounds. Save your money.Free Music Review: I love this album

Okay, I love Alison Krauss. She is an exceptional artist, sometimes mesmerizing, always worth a listen Plant has come a long way. I saw an interview with him on Charlie Rose last year I think and he has aged well. I didn't know what to expect from this collaboration. The sum is greater than the parts. Their voices go together so well. The instrumental backing is subtle as if it is cradling their words and the sound of their voices as they blend together and support each other. They lead each other along a very beautiful sonic path and then they blast you out of your seat as they sing "Gone, Gone, Gone".
