Robert Plant & Alison Krauss-Raising Sand (2007)

Together with Alison Krauss, the exceptional bluegrass singer and violinist from Illinois, and producer T. Bone Burnett, former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant returns to his roots on this album, revisiting a series of American country, folk, R&B, and blues covers from all eras and resurrecting them in a reflective and fresh sound. Songs of immense emotion and restraint, such as Townes Van Zandt's "Nothin' ", Gene Clark's "Through the Morning, Through the Night", Dorothy LaBostrie's "Rich Woman", Roly Jon Salley's "Killing the Blues", The Everly Brothers' "Gone Gone Gone", and "Please Red the Letter", composed as a duet with his Led Zeppelin bandmate Jimmy Page for the 1988 album "Walking Into Clarksdale", reflect a true masterpiece of American roots music, which was deservedly rewarded with five Grammy Awards.
