Description
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss have reunited after 14 years to release their second collaborative album together Raise the Roof . It seems like time hasn’t passed at all.
A follow up to the duo’s platinum debut Raising Sand in 2007, which earned them six Grammy Awards, a CMA Award, and accolades from the Americana Music Honors and Awards, Raise the Roof features 12 new recordings of songs, mostly covers by legends, including Merle Haggard, Allen Toussaint, The Everly Brothers, Anne Briggs, Geeshie Wiley, Bert Jansch and more, in addition to an original Plant-penned “High and Lonesome,” along with “Can’t Let Go,” written by Randy Weeks and recorded by Lucinda Williams.
Krauss and Plant’s vocals melt into one another as “Can’t Let Go” digs into the frustrations and push and pull, of two star-crossed lovers.
Raise the Roof continues where they left, even returning to Raising Sand producer T Bone Burnett and expanding their group of musicians to include guitarists Marc Ribot, David Hidalgo, Bill Frisell, and Buddy Miller, drummer Jay Bellerose, bassists Dennis Crouch and Viktor Krauss, and pedal steel guitarist Russ Pahl.
