• Tracklist

• This longawaited second collaboration by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss reunites two musical legends in a profoundly elegant celebration of American roots music. Producer T Bone Burnett preserves the duos signature atmospheric sound, but with a darker, more shadowy palette that deepens their reinterpretations of blues, folk, country and Americana classics while weaving in their own mystique. The result is both haunting and richly textureda seamless journey through generations of songs made timeless by the duos uncanny synergy and Burnetts subtle, evocative production.

  With voices that complement each other in perfect harmony, Plant and Krauss bring new life to each trackimbuing them with emotional depth and reverence, whether drawing from obscure Delta blues or English folk tradition. Their telepathic connection and masterful musicianship guide listeners into a world thats at once intimate and expansive, delivering an album as introspective and powerful as any in their storied careers.

  Reviews

  It often feels like they’re delighted that they’re making an album that lives up to their debut, and it’s hard not to share their thrill. AllMusic

  Raise the Roof maintains their careful simplicity, rising to the challenge of releasing another record of mostly cover songs that are still impactful and original. Pitchfork

  All too often a starcrossed collaboration can end up diminishing both partiesbutRaise The Roof, which burnishes the diamond, confirming that even if Raising Sand was serendipitous it was certainly no fluke. Uncut

  Time moves in a different way when Robert Plant and Alison Krauss get togetherRaise the Roof can be played back to back with its predecessor without anyone noticing the join. Evening Standard

  Drenched in exotic percussion, liquorblurred guitar, thick southern steam and outbursts of ragged junk blues, its another record to follow deep into the bayou, chasing the willothewisp harmonies. ClassicRock (Louder)
