The latest album collaboration by Robert Plant and Alison Strauss hit the stores today and was well worth both the wait and the the price of entry. This collection of songs is a cross between rock and country music which makes pleasant listening for a quiet afternoon or late night as the mood takes you.
Robert Plant of course needs no introduction having been in the public eye since the late sixties as the lead singer of one of the greatest rock bands of all time Led Zeppelin and his hard hitting vocals have mellowed on this album to deliver something qualitatively quite different.
However I was not not familiar with Alison Krauss as the country music scene is not normally to my taste but her influence and vocals on this album make this a worthy addition to any music collection. Around since the mid eighties her music is described as "bluegrass-country" a term with which I am not familiar but seems worth exploring at a later date. You Tube does have it's uses!
Although I missed their live performance of their new single, Can't Let Go on The One Show it has been posted for posterity and is re-posted here to entertain.
