plantonic Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Beautiful album. - A clear testament to Robert's boundless versatility. Rich Woman, Killing the Blues and Nothin' stand out for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepMeSatisfied Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Altho I don't think this is Plant's best work, since Zeppelin, it is fantastic!!!!! I LOVE the entire album, not fussy on the twangier toons, but I LOVE it anyway!!! Sister Rosetta, Killin The Blues, and Please Read The Letter, being my faves!!!!

Aquamarine Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Mighty Rearranger would interest me more if they rerecorded it as a Zeppelin album. No, no, a thousand times no!! For one thing, Justin Adams is a fabulous musician, and radically different from Jimmy. There's all sorts of influences on that album that come from the rest of SS, not Zep!

Hotplant Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I agree about Justin, he is so talented. Have you heard his CD...Desert Roads...? EXCELLENT ***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I don't know if it's his best post-zep. He's tried all different kinds of music so it's hard to compare. I love this album though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Mighty Rearranger done by Zep No how. The beauty of that album is the combination of contributions by all the members and their own style they brought to it. I think Justin Adams is an amazing guitarist. Hard to compare to anyone really as he has such a unique way of playing, not to mention the multitude of instruments he uses. By the way, I heard a couple of cuts off Soul Science, his new solo album - spectacular. Really different. Can't wait to get hold of it.

So African/Strange Sensationalist, you can hear Mighty Rearranger all the way through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpilot Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have rearranger which I liked ok but it is not musically challenging The problem with the Krauss work and most of Robert Plants solo work imo is that the musicians playing instruments dont seem to have been given any control. So all we have is the voice and some back-up musicians....not enough I'm afraid and that is why none of it lasts and quickly becomes boring. He may enjoy singing it but people dont listen to it...sorry but that is my impression.. He needs to be balanced by the majesty of a virtusoso like Page. Krauss is a violinist but sings mostly on this album this seems to have been a mistake for the musical quality of the album, although what it does do is make Plant's voice more palatable since it is effectively dubbed with Krauss...Plant is restrained and softer and it definately sounds different for him, but ho hum.

Honeydripper Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Raising Sand is indeed a beautiful album!! I love it! But the creme de la creme of all post Zep is of course The Honeydrippers Vol I..........that and These Arms Of Mine from Willie And The Poor Boys......then comes Plant's first two solo records, then the Firm's first......then all the rest fall far behind IMO.

Gotta disagree with you on this stormpilot....Mighty Rearranger to me is clearly the result of the WHOLE band's input, not just some musicians backing him. Robert himself has said it's the first time in a long time he feels part of a "band" rather than the leader. I think many people listen to his solo music. As for Raising Sand, he's singing completely different and I would say does an amazing job. It's the first time he's ventured into the area of harmonizing - in no way would I say his voice is just dubbed on there. No the album isn't loud rock but there's so many nuances and intensities throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnymeg Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Robert Plant and Allison Krauss will be on the World Cafe radio show today talking about Raising Sand. The show starts at 2 pm est.

whyalla Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I bought it more out of curiosity, I'd heard snippets on the net but thought better to listen to it as a whole. The first play I was a bit unsure but I persevered and played it non-stop for about a week - until I got sick off it! It's a lovely album and demonstrates what an incredibly versatile singer Robert is and any doubters about his voice should audition this album. I sort of listen to tracks on a random basis now but still stop whatever I'm doing when I hear 'Please read the letter'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagey_17 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 giving it a listen tonight i love "fortune teller"/ Rich Woman Such a good album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetTheLedOut Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Fortune Teller grew on me. I wasn't crazy about it at first but now it's my most listened to song on the album. And are there many things hotter than Allison Krauss singing about loving a woman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) I think it's a great recording with Two Great Singers, and their voices blend beautifuly together. Edited November 22, 2007 by Wolfgang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euro Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Nice to see the promotional machine is about to be launched.This album straddles too many genres,may be played on all sorts of radio formats depending on the song. If it is promoted properly it could be a very big hit and long stay on the charts. G I think the marketing whizzes want the euphoria from recent Zeppelin releases to subside before concentrating on this project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
