Just thought I'd share... Went to a concert with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss yesterday in Stockholm. Fantastic music, mostly arranged by legend T-Bone Burnett who also did a few of his own songs on stage. Plant and Krauss is on tour right now (Raising Sand), and if you get a chance - don't miss them. Imagine a soft classy version of Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog" sung by these two. Goose bumps all over...

Soft classy version of "Black dog" is that possilbe? Man I'd like to hear that.

The next best version of "Black Dog", other than Led Zeppelin themselves is by Dread Zeppelin. Even Robert Plant thinks Dread Zeppelin is the best Led Zeppelin cover band. I would love to see these guys in concert, what a weird show that would be. Tom

Yep. That's correct. She's the one. She's got one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. Imagine that mixed with 59 y.o. Plant's voice. Wow!

Oil and water for sure - but mixed together, they make a fine musical emulsion (Thanks to T-Bone, as well as their combined talents) Get the CD (Raising Sand). If you enjoy either of them separately ya won't be dissapointed.
