Many months ago, I ordered the CD "Raising Sand" from Amazon.com. I received a defective CD that had obviously been returned,repackaged and then sent to me in response to my order. I corresponded with Amazon and was told to return the CD and I would receive a replacement. I returned the CD and as yet have never received a replacement CD. I have been jacked around with excuses, but no CD. Keep my money and the CD. I don't have the time to waste on a shyster operation. You are a bunch of crooks. I may order from your outside suppliers - I've never had a problem with themn - but I will never order another product directly from Amazon.com.
Rating: - An Amazing Collaboration That Works !
As a fan of both Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, I initially thought this was a strange pairing, but found it to be an amazing collaboration. The music at once is old-school and contemporary at the same time. It reminds me of a new singer-songwriter I recently came across-Arrica Rose...her new album La La Lost melodic 70's folk with a touch of country...old-fashioned and modern.

Got high Hopes but was a bit dissapointed by it all !
I think that the combination could have been tremendous but the album did not excite me at all .. I thought Alison could have tuned up better ..
But it is only me !
Rating: - Intriguing and Refreshing!
I am a huge fan of Led Zeppelin, so I bought this album right away. Robert Plant sounds a lot different, of course, since this is a country album. However, not different in a bad way. He has a versatile style. Alison Krauss has a beautiful voice, and they are very harmonious. My faves on this album are "Rich Woman", "gone, gone, gone", and "Fortune Teller."
Rating: - A Strange Pairing
I've been a fan of both Robert and Alison for too many years to mention; however, I would never have come up with this pairing. Admittedly, I was a bit of a skeptic when I saw the release of the album. When I first heard "Gone, Gone, Gone", I thought: Okay, this is not bad. Then I heard "Please Read The Letter". I was sold . . . hook, line and sinker.
I would place this album easily in my top twenty fave albums of all time, and that is saying something.
The music is evocative and bluesy and it just makes you . . . feel.
I could not recommend it more, if you are a music lover of any type, this is a must have for your collection. A wholly remarkable album which will linger in your ears and mind long after the last note plays.

Both Ted and myself have recently taken an interest in the works of Seth Godin, one of the gurus of marketing in the Internet age. More than likely we were both influenced by the good things said about him on the Stack Overflow Podcast.
