Raising Sand

Bluegrass virtuoso Alison Krauss and Led Leppelin Frontman Robert Plant have teamed up to record an album called Raising Sand.
It is really good, it doesn't rock, but it is nice to listen to.
Mike Seeger is on it, as is Patrick Warren (michael Penn's recording partner and studio musician extrodinaire. he has appeared on albums including but not limited to: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aviril Lavigne, Neil Diamond, OK Go, Fiona Apple, Michael W. Smith, Macy Gray, Perry Farrell, Jewel, and is featured on the new Bruce Springsteen album.)
Is there a Springsteen connection? Why yes... yes there is. Bruce's Sister, Pamela, was the album photographer.
