Please Read The Letter

"maybe baby, everything's gonna turn out fine"

Have you picked up RAISING SAND yet? You're seriously missing out if not. This thing just keeps giving, growing stronger with each play.
Robert Plant, what an icon. Turning down a zillion dollar offer to tour with the Zep to concentrate on what was more personally fulfilling. His range and vocal reinvention on this record is astounding, especially given his earlier work. This is the same guy who sang The Wanton Song for F's sake! And Allison Krause, I guess I never got the memo on her but what a beautiful talent. This is easily one of the best albums released in the last year, one you can play straight through, one I can't recommend enough.
