Absolutely Haunting!I think Led-heads who are excited about a new Robert Plant CD will be extremely disappointed. Mr. Plant is no longer a spring chicken or a wild rooster for that matter. He's a mature artist looking to spread his wings. I think he's found a new groove! Isn't that truly the sign of a great and lasting artist? Someone who can shed their skin, try on something new and make it fit like a glove.
Plant's voice is so bluesy here and very mellow. Kraus, whom I know very little about provides a wonderful balance. I believe this will become a classic. I thoroughly enjoy listening to this CD; before I know it, it's over. It's as if it flows effortlessly from the beginning to the end of the disc; one piece of work with a dozen punctuations!
I'm sure those who love this CD are wondering if the duo will record again. This is one of those cases where I almost hope they don't. This is a kind of stand-alone masterpiece in my opinion. Remake Gone With The Wind and it will BOMB. Try to copy the Stones or The Beatles and it will BOMB. Hey, they even tried to make a go of a sequel to Blair Witch Project, and it BOMBED. Got it? You don't mess with singular perfection. May 2, 2008

Awesome & surprising
When I first heard about this pairing, I have to admit I was pretty doubtful. All doubts were vanished after a first listen. This is a brilliant pairing and an awesome CD. April 30, 2008
Category Killer
I have seen this CD classified as country, bluegrass, pop, folk, blues, and American, but it doesn't seem to fit any of those. The duets are more than just two people singing, they weave in and around each other - blending here, harmonizing there. On top of that, the backing band is superb. This CD is a keeper.

smashin'
I didn't know who this guy was until my son told me. He does a wonderful job as a duet with Alison Krauss. I can't get their songs out of my head; especially, Gone.
