Hand_Of_Omega_91 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I've had the album for a while now and I just 'got it' yesterday Your Long Journey is one of my all time faves but Please Read The Letter is by far the best in my opinion. Can't wait for the tour next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayqueen Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I've not read all the posts in this thread, but going to toss my .02 in anyway. First listen brought me a couple of strong likes (Gone Gone Gone and especially Fortune Teller) and a few maybe's. With repeated playing this beautifully done album has really grown on me and I'm loving it. I've fallen in love with the tracks Killing The Blues and Your Long Journey, both of them are so haunting with truly lovely vocals delivered. I really enjoy what they've done with Please Read The Letter too. Truth be told, I'm quite content to listen to it from beginning to end. There really isn't a song on there I dislike. It's not my favorite effort by Robert, but for sure not in my discard pile either. If they do tour and come close enough, it's a show I'd really like to see.

Juliet Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 This a.m. @ 5:30 I was watching the CBC (Canadian) During a break there was a promo for Raising Sand..the promo was very good...phrases from a couple of tunes and some pics....

BlackandGold Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well I delayed getting this cd as I really didn't think I would like it as I am not much a fan of country or bluegrass. I got it for Christmas and all I can say is Wow, what was I thinking. On first listening I was captivated. Polly Come Home brought tears to my eyes, which is not a good thing as I was at work. There are so many songs that I think are incredible, Rich Woman, Fortune Teller, Trampled Rose, Nothin'. I think Robert's voice is so fantastic on this album. My only experience with Alison was from the O Brother soundtrack, and now I want to explore her music a little more. A lot of the songs on this have an underlying darkness, kind of creepiness that I really like. This is the first cd I have purchased in a long time that I have been really excited about. What can I say, but I'm really happy and oddly proud of Robert!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlantOneOnMe Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 A lot of the songs on this have an underlying darkness, kind of creepiness that I really like. Yes, absolutely. There are two standouts for me: Rich Woman and Fortune Teller. I burned a copy for my spouse-he gave it away. Hated it. Now he wants a new copy burned. Decided it wasn't so bad after all. It grew on him slower than it grew on me. I told ya so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanie_72 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I haven't gotten this CD yet but plan to buy it very soon. I heard some snippets of it on Amazon.com and really enjoyed it. What two wonderful voices they have!! I never would of thought of them teaming up together but I am glad they did!! Robert is always amazing and I think Alison has the voice of an angel, although I never followed her much in the past but always thought she had a beautiful voice, now I have become a fan of hers. I also enjoyed watching the making of this album on Youtube and the video for "Gone, Gone, Gone" is cool too and I turn to Country Music television just to see if it is on quite often, LOL. What amazing chemistry they have. I can't wait to watch the Crossroads special on CMT in February, should be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planted In My Mind Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I LOVE Raising Sand! My favorite tracks are the ones where their voices blend. My favorite tracks are "Killing the Blues" and "Your Long Journey" I've heard that they might be going back into the Studio this month, I sure hope so!

shambolic Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 My son just bought this CD for me. I am listening to it and so far it is okay. Nice mello music. I like the song Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us ! I don't know if Alison and Robert are the perfect vocal pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
