I keep a Project Playlist on a test blog and listen to it while I’m working. Recently I was adding Alison Krauss songs and found a series of duets by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Living in my own little bubble, I had managed to miss out on the fact that they’d recorded an album together, Raising Sand. I went straight to Amazon and placed my order and it’s been in heavy rotation in my home and van ever since. My kids could listen to Fortune Teller all day long. iTunes lists the CD as country, although I would call it some sort of country/blues/bluegrass/gypsy/oldies mix; it defies simplistic categorization attempts.
CMT is airing a live concert at 8 p.m. Eastern Time this Monday, the 11th; you can watch parts of it on their website, too. I found this cool widget that will let you preview the songs.
Cool! I’ll have to listen. I get to see her in concert at Carnegie Hall in just 2 weeks!

Saw them on The Today Show a while back….very interesting. I’ll admit to loving Allison Kraus, but maybe I shouldn’t admit that I really like Robert Plant, too!:) Will have to check it out based on your recommendation!
Love,
Jolie
P.S. We were thinking of you all yesterday re: Will’s ordination! Hope it was a blessed day!
Thanks! I love Alison Krauss. Went to bestbuy.com and ordered.
I love Alison Krauss. I’ll have to look into that CD.
Wow. What a great blog home you have here!
I found you through 5M4M.
I recently saw Alison on CMT singing with Robert Plant. My DH made me stop and watch it – it was actually really good.
Hope to stop back by soon.
Have a blessed week.
