  • Raising Sand Reviews

    "The duo's interplay ignites the album, whether on the rollicking rockabilly of "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" or the sweet, strolling "Stick With Me Baby." Plant's refined take on "Polly Come Home" demonstrates the still-growing character of his baritone, even when stripped from its eternally more familiar rock context." Adam Mckibin (Artist Direct)Artist Direct: Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Raising Sand Review
