While I was on vacation, I was reading through some music news items when all of a sudden it became Christmas in August. For all of us who loved the first collaboration by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss that resulted in that very wonderful album, Raising Sand (see wiki article) discovering that they have recorded a new album, Raise the Roof, is very welcome news indeed!
The cherry and whipped cream on top of this delicious sundae was the issuing of the first song, “Can’t Let Go,” which also happens to be my all time favorite song by Lucinda Williams. (I did a Music Monday post in September 2020 about Williams’ “Can’t Let Go.”)
While there aren’t any music videos or live performances yet, you can hear the audio below. Tell me what you think. Are you of fan of Robert Plant & Alison Krauss?
Enjoy!
I’m especially fond of the music of Alison Krauss, though I like Robert Plant’s as well. So thank you for this!
I am a big Alison Krauss fan as well. I still feel chills when I hear her version of The Wexford Carol with Yo-yo Ma. Thanks! 🙂
Awesome song! Alison Krauss and Robert Plant make an awesome singing duo! 🎶
They do! I’m convinced that Alison Krauss can sing with anyone and sound perfect. So looking forward to this album!
