Our Take

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have teamed up once again for their collaborative album "Raising Sandin". But does this latest effort reach the same heights as their acclaimed debut? Spoiler alert: it does.

From the moment Plant's iconic vocals intertwine with Krauss' mesmerizing harmonies, it's clear that magic is in the air. The duo effortlessly blend genres, seamlessly moving from bluegrass to folk to rock with a finesse that can only come from two seasoned musicians.

Tracks like "Please Read the Letter" and "Rich Woman" showcase the duo's undeniable chemistry, with Plant's gravelly voice perfectly complementing Krauss' angelic tones. And let's not forget about the stellar production, courtesy of the legendary T Bone Burnett, who brings his signature touch to every track.

But it's not all roses and sunshine on "Raising Sandin". The duo takes risks, delving into darker, more introspective themes on tracks like "Killing the Blues" and "Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us". It's a bold move, but one that pays off in spades.

In the end, "Raising Sandin" is a triumph for Plant and Krauss, showcasing their undeniable talent and chemistry. It's a must-listen for fans of both artists, and a shining example of what can happen when two musical legends come together to create something truly special.
