Summary: It is good, but mighty slow
Comment: I bought this DVD after hearing parts of it on Sirius radio - channel 12, and after watching the youtube interviews with Plant and Krauss. It is very polished and the two singers sound very good together. But I have to say that it does not exactly "raise sand." It is a very quiet DVD, and I kept wanting them to turn it loose and make some hell-raising music. It seems very conservative to me.
Buy it because it is very pretty- especially one of my favorite songs, "Killing the Blues" which they make their own. Don't buy it to keep you rocking on a long drive, or for party music.

Summary: Great listening
Comment: I have listened to this CD several times and I enjoy it more each time. Good beat and the having a male singer adds a nice balance to Ms Krauss.

Summary: Raising Sand
Comment: This is an outstanding album. Amazing blend of voices that I wouldn't have imagined. Best buy for me this year.
Customer Rating:
Summary: breathtaking
Comment: Plants voice is breathtaking-better than ever; the music pieces are deeply soulful, almost spiritual in nature. The moment I cracked the wrapper and slipped the CD into my casette, I loved it.

Summary: One particular reason this record is outstanding...
Comment: One particular reason this record is outstanding, apart from the tight band and amazing vocals from both Krauss (whose voice I've always loved) and Plant (who I've never been a fan of until now) is T-Bone Burnett's song selection. Specifically, his recognition of former Byrd Gene Clark's songwriting talents is on full display on two tracks, "Polly Come Home" and the overwhelming rendition of "Through the Morning, Through the Night". The latter was on Repeat for two days after I got this CD and it moved me the 50th time I heard it as much as it did the first.
Can't recommend this album enough. Enter with no preconceptions and find some spectacular music and performances.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The musical collaboration of the decade, Raising Sand is the sound of two iconic figures stepping out of their respective comfort zones and letting their instincts lead them across a brave new sonic landscape. Despite hailing from distinctly different backgrounds, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant share a maverick spirit and willingness to extend the boundaries of their respective genres. This spirit, expertly honed by producer T Bone Burnett, has resulted in an album pitched three steps beyond some cosmic collision of early urban blues, spacious West Texas country, and the untapped potential of the folk-rock revolution.
Supported by the unparalleled musicianship of Marc Ribot, Dennis Crouch, Mike Seeger, Jay Bellerose, Norman Blake, Greg Leisz, Patrick Warren, and Riley Baugus, Plant and Krauss -- as both solo and harmony vocalists -- tackle an intriguing selection of songs from such tunesmiths as Tom Waits, Gene Clark, Sam Phillips, Townes Van Zandt, The Everly Broth! ers, and Mel Tillis. Raising Sand finds Robert Plant and Alison Krauss exploring popular music's elemental roots while still sounding effortlessly, breath-takingly contemporary.
The song "Killing the Blues" is featured in the new JC Penney American Living Campaign.
