Robert & Alison-Raising Sand

Well, I like it just fine. Yes, it takes some getting used to, especially if you are expecting the sonics to approximate those on the Alison Krauss/Union Station albums, but it has a sort of haunting, ethereal quality that grew on me after a few plays. I especially like the Townes Van Zandt cover.

A gem, indeed.

It took a couple of listens to grow on me, nice calming, early morning, driving to work in the dark wintertime, type music.

Sorry Jaybo, hate to disagree - No comparison to the Harris/Knopfler effort. on All The Roadrunning which is phenomenal.

If you are hoping for shades of Zeppelin fuhgeddaboutit

It's not that its bad or poorly done, but most folks can safely skip this one
