What a remarkable sight to see the reunion of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss gathered around a couple of microphones in Nashville. It's been 14 years since their surprising and remarkable album Raising Sand and now they're back at Sound Emporium, the studio where they recorded some of that first record and the entirety of their new album Raise The Roof.
Huddled in the control room are an all-star cast of musicians, with Jay Bellerose on drums, JD McPherson on guitar, Dennis Crouch on upright bass, Stuart Duncan on guitars and ukulele, and Viktor Krauss on electric bass and guitar. All of these folks minus JD McPherson played on the original recordings of the songs you'll hear in this Tiny Desk (home) concert.
They kick it off with the rockabilly sounds of "Can't Let Go," a song originally recorded by Lucinda Williams and written by Randy Weeks. For their second number, Robert Plant recalls a song he first heard as a 15-year-old listening to some great R&B by Bobby Moore & the Rhythm Aces. He and Alison Krauss put their hearts and harmonies into a cover of that song, "Searching For My Love." Alison takes the lead on the final tune "Trouble With My Lover," written by Allen Toussaint and recorded in the '60s by the "Lost Queen of New Orleans Soul," Betty Harris. These interpretations are delicate, gripping and so damn special.

I like these small room concerts.
Well, that made my evening. Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, yeah, yeah, they’re kinda good...
Led Zepplin ‘Kashmir’ kills it.
Thanks, will watch later. I have tickets to see them this Spring. I saw them when they last toured a dozen or more years ago. They were fantastic.

Led Zeppelin = Greatest. Band. Ever!!
And as much as i loved Zeppelin most all my life and Plant was my guy in the band- i could never get into all this country/bluegrass stuff he’s doing. I tried but i can’t listen.
The fact Plant hated President Trump and tacitly put posts on his twitter account so everyone knew where he stood makes it even less attractive for me.
late, late, late night a mechanic or someone with a loud enough LZ to an entire hanger.
I’ll never forget it, and strangely enough, the acoustics were Awesome.
Absolutely love this. Best thing out of Nashville in some time. JD McPherson on guitar really makes the rock-a-billy aspect of these tunes shine. And the drummer sets a new standard for laid back brilliance. Of course Alison’s voice makes everything she touches turn to gold. I posted this video on the Texas board yesterday and hope they liked it as much as I do.
