Robert & Alison-Raising Sand


I just got this gem on vinyl the other day and i must say its fantastic. Quite the combo doing what they do best!

Anybody else had the chance to listen to this yet?
Opinions?

Cheers

I've heard a number of cuts from this odd couple on the radio and felt it was elevator music at best. Early Robert Plant solo work was very strong IMO. The Pictures at Eleven EP is absolutely jaw dropping on vinyl. Although I like Bluegrass I've never been an AK fan - too overproduced for me.

Things change - I caught these two with the band that recorded the album on Soundstage recently and their performance was extremely intimate. The level of their musicianship is truly exceptional. If you’re not too jazzed by the album catch the performance as it will impart an entirely new perspective. If you do like the album the live concert will be something very special indeed.
