highvoltage Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Not sure if there's already been a thread about this - but I picked it up today, and it's a lovely album to listen to. It's a really smooth, laid back album - Plant and Krauss complement each other superbly. I don't know how to explain this bit, but the production makes it sound like the album was recorded back in the 40's, which is really cool.Anybody else got this one?

Guest RonMexico82 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Is there any clips on youtube?? Would like to hear it first. Sounds interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevGNR666 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 yeah, got it a couple months ago, worth every penny...T-Bone, from the reviews i've heard really lays down that smooth production. I'm really glad Robert doesn't rock out on this album. It wasn't appropriate. My favorite track is Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us whcih was absolutely beautiful with the fiddle part and her beautiful vocals complimented by his harmonization during the chorus. this was the barn burner of the album for me. Fortune Teller was a fun song for Robert although it was all a little repetitive...The song choices I thought were the genius on the album.

Zeppelin Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Amazing album. One of my favourites from 2007. Every song is a great choice, and Alison's vocals on the Tom Waits cover are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseYourAppetite Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Very, very awesome album, and Plant is going on tour with her so I may just have to go see them. I hear he rattles out a few Zep tracks too so will most probably rock hard. But yeah it's a great album, really nice to just sit and relax while you listen to it, both have brilliant voices and sound amazing, even with Plant nearing his 60th birthday. Definitely well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a great album, and a big surprise this year for me. Plant's going to work with T-Bone again for his next studio album so that gets me more pumped for that.

I thought the production and the overall sound lent itself to stuff like killing the blues and polly come home rather than I read the letter or some of the other stuff that was uptempo...
