Anyone see Crossroads With Robert Plant?

This past Monday on the Country Music Network They had a Special edition of Crossroads with Robert Plant and Allison Kraus. I thought it would suck being that it was going to be Bluegrass music, and they were going to cover some Led Zepplin tunes. A few years ago David Lee Roth did Van Halen tunes in Bluegrass and it was absolutly horrible. You can't Bluegrass "Jump"!!! However being that Zepplin Lyrics are based in Southern Blues it was absolutly amazing. They did "When The Levy Breaks", and "Black Dog". It was out of this world, surreal, and amazing. Allison Kraus has an amazing voice, not to mention. It was a great performance and even my mom liked it. Check it out.

The producer of this collaboration is the same producer from the "Cold Mountain" soundtrack. So yes just like the music in the movie there is sort of a dark tone.

allison kraus is brilliant musician. imo, much more talented than robert plant. i'm going to have to try and catch this show.
have you seen any of the hdnet concerts? they show some pretty cool shows from time to time; sunday they had joe satriani live and allison kraus, the vince gill i think.

They also have a CD together that came out late last year. It is probably my favorite cd from that year. No zep songs on the CD, they are all very obscure old blues songs.

what is the name of the cd?

Raising Sand is the CD.
Suggested downloads:
Please read the letter
Fortune Teller
Gone Gone Gone

Long Journey is probably the best overall song but it is a slow ballad. The harmony is amazing. This album I feel is Robert Plants best vocal work. He sings the baritone parts on all the harmonies so his voice is very controlled ans understated instead of his usual go for the gusto style you see in LZ.
