So i'm not sure if anyone watched the 51st Grammy Awards this past sunday, but if you did then you know that one of the most successful albums this year both for nominations and actual wins was "Raising Sand" by Robert Plant & Allison Krauss... Now at first i'll admit, I was not too thrilled when they took Album of the Year, the most prestigious award of the night, from Coldplay.... However.... It did drive me to head on over to iTunes and give it a listen.
Folks I'm telling you... This is one of the best albums i've heard in very long while. Robert Plant, Led Zepplins legendary front man, has an amazing voice, and he takes it to a folk style. Allison Krauss, one of Country's leading ladies does the same and meets Plant in the middle, and the harmonies they put to this disc are sensational. Lyrically deep, and musically phenominal, RAISING SAND has become a favorite of mine..... Everyone should head over to iTunes today and download a copy..... you won't be disappointed. :)
