I had a gift card to Barnes and Noble so when I was in Savannah the other day I picked up Raising Sand the duet CD of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. The CD is superb. The thing that is most interesting to me about the disc is the producer T-Bone Burnett. He has produced The Counting Crows, O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack, etc. He masterfully chose two unique and very different voices that somehow compliment and intertwine in interesting ways on the CD. The studio band's efforts are excellent as well. I am reminded of a quote from Burnett who is a Christian but has influenced popular music in untold ways. "As a Christian you can either write about the light(Jesus) or what you see in the world because of the light."
