Robert Plant and Alison Krauss – Raise the Roof

Description

Like its predecessor, ‘Raise the Roof’ was produced by T Bone Burnett, who worked with Plant and Krauss to expand their collaboration in thrilling new directions, accompanied by drummer Jay Bellerose, guitarists Marc Ribot, David Hidalgo, Bill Frisell, and Buddy Miller, bassists Dennis Crouch and Viktor Krauss, along with pedal steel guitarist Russ Pahl among others. The album features twelve recordings of songs by legends and unsung heroes including Merle Haggard, Allen Toussaint, The Everly Brothers, Anne Briggs, Geeshie Wiley, Bert Jansch and more. Other highlights include a Plant-Burnett original, ‘High and Lonesome,’ and the Lucinda Williams classic ‘Can’t Let Go,’ on which Williams herself contributes backing vocals.
