Raising Sand by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

Raising Sand, released on Rounder in October 2007, is the sound of two voices that had no business fitting together doing it anyway. Robert Plant, the rock singer, and Alison Krauss, the bluegrass and country singer, made their first album as a duo with T Bone Burnett producing, and the whole record simmers low and dusky instead of boiling over: folk rock with shadows in the corners, twang with a haunted hush.
"Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" struts, "Please Read the Letter" aches and "Killing the Blues" drifts, the two of them wrapping their harmonies around each other like smoke. The honors piled up: Album of the Year at the 2008 Americana Music Honors & Awards, then Album of the Year at the Grammys in 2009.
