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 Brothers,
and Mel Tillis. Raising Sand finds Robert Plant and Alison
Krauss exploring popular music's elemental roots while still
sounding effortlessly, breath-takingly contemporary.
