Robert Plant & Alison Krauss new CD

[robelinda2]

Bought this the other day after hearing good things about it around the net, interesting collaboration!! Pretty good cd too, I love Alison Krauss, not such a big Led Zep fan but I do like Plant, the songs presented here are a good mix. Recommended!

T bone burnett produced this and it is really pretty good...I used to play a lot of golf with t bone

I absolutely love Allison Krauss and Union Station. Union Station especially are phenomenal.

Hey! If Robert Plant can play with Tori Amos, why not Allison!?
I heard a quick clip of one of the songs so can't really comment on it. But I am very curious about the rest of the material. This thread only encourages that.
Looks like I'll be getting it soon then.

Plant and Krauss did a CMT special called Crossroads where they did songs from the album, plus each others songs. Great show!

Good stuff...give it a listen.

[Spudmurphy]

Yup, I got this for Mrs Murphy for Xmas - great stuff worth a place on your CD shelf.

[colinboy]

great duet in the song gone gone gone!

[robelinda2]

Given it a few listens now, its pretty brooding stuff, mellow, greta harmonies goin on, really classy cd.

It is a good CD. I read somewhere today that Zep just turned down an offer to tour after the recent one-shot reunion -- apparently, Page and JPJ were interested but Plant was not. I guess he's having fun, but that's one arena tour I'd have paid to see.

Sorry for the slight hijack.

It's a great cd. Alison Krauss is one of my all time favorite singers.

I have not had the opportunity to hear this yet. I love Allison.

When I was in college, my girlfriend (now my wife) and I were walking in downtown Evansville and saw all these people dressed to the 9's walking in one direction. I was like "what the heck is going on? It's in the middle of the week! Is this some sort of occult gathering??"

We walked past the philharmonic theater and on the marquee I found the answer to my query:

Allison Krauss and Union Station tonight at 7:00 pm at the Center!!

The Center was a 5 minute walk from where we were.

It was 6:50 pm. I was a broke college student. BUMMER!!
