A Newbury Comics exclusive vinyl pressing.
Anchored by two of the most distinctive vocalists in modern music and augmented by the stewardship of acclaimed producer T Bone Burnett, Raising Sand has a sound and theme that flows like one continuous thought -- a conversation between two major music talents that goes on for an entire recording. But Robert Plant and Alison Krauss didn't set out to make a duet album. Built on a shared core of modal blues and country soul, the album puts the two great singers in a variety of vocal and instrumental combinations - from songs featuring two-part brother-style harmony throughout to solo features for each.
