Robert Plant & Alison KraussRaise the Roof

Two voices that should never work together, and somehow melt into one warm, otherworldly hush. T Bone Burnett produces again, pulling covers from Calexico, Allen Toussaint, Merle Haggard, and Geeshie Wiley. "Going Where the Lonely Go" drips with weepy Haggard melancholy, Plant's restrained tenor wrapping around Krauss's clear, aching soprano. The same intimate spell as Raising Sand, fourteen years on. Their contrasting voices remain the whole point. Dim the lights and sink in.
