Amazon.co.uk Review
Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant and bluegrass crooner Alison Krauss may not be the likeliest of musical combinations. But on this welcome collaboration album, they work beautifully together, wringing a kind of magic from other people's songs. The key to the album is its versatility. Between them, Krauss and Plant can handle a vast repertoire on their own, and here they take on the lot, from folk laments and country soul to searing blues and upbeat rock & roll. Overseen by Elvis Costello producer T Bone Burnett and backed by high caliber musicians like guitarist Marc Ribot and multi-instrumentalist Mike Seeger, Raising Sand sees the duo create stellar covers of songs by Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt, Mel Tillis and The Everly Brothers, among others. Highlights include a killer version of Roly Salley's "Killing the Blues", and a cover of the Plant-Page collaboration "Please Read the Letter," though in truth, it's difficult to find a weak spot on the whole album. --Danny McKenna

 So Good!!! The Golden god did it again!! September 9, 2008
A. Stringhini (England)
Since I got my deliver this morning I can't stop playing it. Their voices work so well together, the music is absorbing and it brings you a very special energy.
And if you want a little bit more of the Golden god buy also Might Rearranger another fantastic CD of Plant.
Dark, sexy Americana June 9, 2008
Satine (London, UK)
When two of the most distinctive and transfixing voices came together, the result was always going to be interesting but the New Orleans genius T Bone Burnett has picked some fabulous and hypnotic songs which work perfectly. From the siren gypsy call of Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us to the raw power and pain of Nothin, to the bluesy Fortune Teller, this album gets under your skin and into your bloodstream. Absolutely bewitching. And if you can get to see Robert and Alison live, do whatever it takes to get tickets - they just glow onstage and the songs pack even more of a punch live.

Alison Krauss and Robert Plant get together for a unique album that just gets better as it goes on. Of worthy note is 'just read the letter' To my mind it was such an unlikely partnership but it really works and country/ rock never sounded so good together a worthy addition for any collection.
