Comment: I haven't done a review in ten years of reading these but someone with "experience" needs to chime in on this.
As a former semi-pro musician covering these two genres of music live, someone needs to explain why this "inconceivable" pair works. It's called "rockabilly".
Anyone who listens to either artist knows that both artist's backgrounds stem from this style. "Rock" and later "heavy metal" sprang from it. Check your 1950's era record collection.
Led Zep made their reputation covering many early blues songs with rockabilly-like chord progressions. Plant himself covered early, early rockabilly in his band The Honey Drippers.
Alison I presume is like any other country artist. They usually stay in this style, though softer and slower.
In light of this, I fail to see the big shock that these two people blend well. Instead I see longtime, false stereotypes called into question and obviously mistaken.

Comment: I love Allison K. Never knew Plant. It was ok but not what I expected and not something I would buy, had I heard it first. Gave it to my youngest son.

Summary: A SONIC QUAALUDE!!!
Comment: Subtitled...Plant goes terminally flaccid. This is drek, pure and simple. I'm going to put on Pacific Ocean Blue and reinvigorate myself. Things do go better with Coke.

Summary: It is good, but mighty slow
Comment: I bought this DVD after hearing parts of it on Sirius radio - channel 12, and after watching the youtube interviews with Plant and Krauss. It is very polished and the two singers sound very good together. But I have to say that it does not exactly "raise sand." It is a very quiet DVD, and I kept wanting them to turn it loose and make some hell-raising music. It seems very conservative to me.
Buy it because it is very pretty- especially one of my favorite songs, "Killing the Blues" which they make their own. Don't buy it to keep you rocking on a long drive, or for party music.

Summary: Great listening
Comment: I have listened to this CD several times and I enjoy it more each time. Good beat and the having a male singer adds a nice balance to Ms Krauss.
