I've only heard one song, and I can't even remember what the name was, but when I heard it was Allison Kraus and Robert Plant I nearly shit my pants.

It was a 60ish garage rock sort of song, which neither of them have ever dabbled in before, especially not A.K. and it was awesome.

Anyway, I have nothing but respect for Robert Plant lately. The dude has been blowing me away with the amount of ambition he has for tackling new, and ecclectic genres, or maybe it's jus that I'm impressed when he's juxtopositioned with other folks his age.

Okay, anyway, T. Bone? Hell yeah, the man can do no wrong.

FWIW, the Everly Brothers song doesn't do much for me. Plant's voice is upfront and you can hear every little orgasmic breath, Krauss's voice is mixed in the back like a synth pad. She's like a hood ornament in that tune. And the band is kinda rigid and synthetic sounding.

It's an interesting juxtaposition, though, of those two. Interesting choice.

I've been diggin' on this record for a while.
Really like the upright bass.

I'm doing a semester-long project on this album. I know a sickening amount about it. And I still enjoy listening to it haha

Sounds great, too.
