 A Strange Pairing August 11, 2008
I've been a fan of both Robert and Alison for too many years to mention; however, I would never have come up with this pairing. Admittedly, I was a bit of a skeptic when I saw the release of the album. When I first heard "Gone, Gone, Gone", I thought: Okay, this is not bad. Then I heard "Please Read The Letter". I was sold . . . hook, line and sinker.
I would place this album easily in my top twenty fave albums of all time, and that is saying something.
The music is evocative and bluesy and it just makes you . . . feel.
I could not recommend it more, if you are a music lover of any type, this is a must have for your collection. A wholly remarkable album which will linger in your ears and mind long after the last note plays.
Raising Sand August 11, 2008
Great CD ! Especially "Killing the Blues"(from the JC Penney commercial)
My favorite however was "Your Long Journey" Can't get that tune out of my head.
Raising Sand August 11, 2008
The cd was almost as wonderful as the concert. Alison's voice continues to amaze me.

I've listened to the CD on-line; however, haven't opened the CD yet, since it arrived with the plastic case smashed in several places. I'm afraid that the CD itself may be damaged. The music is a blending of two styles of singing that is truly surprising. Allison, with her lilting, Bluegrass type singing, and Robert, with his Led Zeppelin type singing; are just full of surprises. This is one of the best CDs I think I've ever purchased. There is a wealth of feeling in the songs these two harmonize to, which truly touches the heart, as well as the soul of the listener.

I guess this is what they mean when they say "you either hate it or you love it". Sheesh.
I got this album yesterday after overhearing it in a cafe. I heard like 4 seconds of "Rich Woman" and went to the counter! I had to have it!
I heard it was coming out a while ago, but totally forgot! Well I was missing out!
So as of this writing, I have spun this album 7 times! 7!
I hear what people are saying about the production, but I feel that it enhances the album really. Its muddy, its real, T-bone is not to be questioned people!
These two are angels together I think. I have loved Alison for a number of years but am fairly new to Robert actually. I was not raised by a fan of Zep, so I had no reason to care. BUT I do like that one song of his "Morning Dew". So with that ONE SONG under my belt I thought "yeah, him and Alison might be alright!" *wit in text is a toughy* I WAS RIGHT.
I have never reviewed anything on here before, but felt compelled to do so after reading so many negatives. I know that people have a right to their opinion but only if they are right, right? :)
*Highlights
"Killing the Blues"
"Rich Woman" I love that reverbed guitar! Its infectious! (also on "Fortune Teller" which is a cute song)
"Please Read the Letter"
"Trampled Rose" Oh Alison, I just love you.
"Polly Come Home"
...OK SO THEY ARE ALL GREAT!
I feel quite lucky, I see they will be live in my city in October, I'm off to buy those tickets now. *nah nah nah*
