Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Skilled and inspired....With relaxed, smoky harmonies and reverbed midtempo rockabilly...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The partners' close harmonies are especially ravishing -- intimate as Gram & Emmylou on Gene Clark's 'Through The Morning, Through The Night'...", "One listen to these songs, and you'll quickly appreciate how they -- and Burnett and the other musicians -- effortlessly blended different genres into one gorgeous stew of pop music...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Doc Watson's 'Your Long Journey' finds Plant and Krauss attaining a state of grace, their shared spiritual strength interlocked with sorrow over a loved one's death.", Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Top Albums of the Year 2007" -- "They harmonize with natural worry and warmth against a midnight Mississippi chill...", "Their harmonies couldn't be more fetching on 'Killing The Blues'....The emotional landscape of RAISING SAND stretches far and wide.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The pair drift in an out of the tracks, supplementing each other with subtlety and charm on a stunning set...", "They Ultimately Meet in a Roots-Rock Commonwealth....Exercises in Sublime Harmony..." -- Grade: A-

Not their best
The songs are not memorable. I find this CD much less successful because of the weak songs rather than the quality of their musicianship, which remains high.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The low price of what is offered.
It is a great shame that neither of those wonderful performers are not here with me personally to judge for themeselves. Personally the low cost of money to merely purchase the C D will have to be my gesture of appreciation. The world over has been always the exasperation and admiration of the two wonderful singers.What would it be like without the availability of a CD to listen with music of the soul as an explanation of thoughts.
