i have been enjoying this album for quite some time now so this is by no means a belated cd review. i think you all know i would only have good things to say about it anyway. rock god and folk goddess join forces to form smoky harmonies and relaxed midtempo rockabilly. what could be more grand? oh ya, add T Bone Burnett. but, as i said, this isn't a cd review (just a little plug)...
The Grammys a few weeks back...enjoyment for the most part. those of you who watched saw Robert Plant and Alison Krauss win Album of the Year. i believe i let out a yell or two of pure joy when this happened...and i also believe i was thee only one in the house to do so - it's cool. yes, i do understand who they were up against - Radiohead and Coldplay to name two. yes, i love both of those bands, quite intimately actually - but you know, i was really happy Raising Sand won. some would say they just won because of who they are and not the quality of their album. nah. i say to them, give the album a good listen and you might fall in love, as i did. and i refuse to comment on the reaction of the crowd - i was ashamed that people could be that rude.
phew. i got that out.
cheers to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss!
