Description
The combination of Krauss's silken interpretation of American roots forms with Plant's defiantly, globally-informed melange could have turned down any number of sonic byways. Yet T-Bone Burnett's relentless focus and the selfless dedication of the two principals has resulted in an album that defies genres in favor of a wide open brand of seismic soul music. Pitched three steps beyond some cosmic collision of early urban blues, spacious West Texas country, and the unrealized potential of the folk-rock revolution, Raising Sand is shockingly evocative - an album that uncovers popular music's elemental roots while sounding effortlessly, breathtakingly modern.
