Robert Plant | Alison Krauss: Raising Sands

1. Robert Plant | Alison Krauss – “Through the Morning, Through the Night” – Album: Raising Sands
   Produced by T Bone Burnette, this record encapsulates an unbelievable marriage between the unlikely duo that is Led Zeppelin’s former screamer and one of Country music’s beloved traditionalists. This is one of the musical moments that startles and immediately takes hold of the imagination, controlling the room like Omar Sharif in a drunken tirade. The last time I heard something like this it was Joni Mitchell’s ragged smoky voice returning from obscurity on “Both Sides Now.” Instant add.
2. Talk Talk – “Ascension Day” – Album: Laughing Stock
   
3. Cornelius – “Gum”
4. Beta Band – “Assessment” – Album: Heroes to Zeroes
   
5. Black Heart Procession – “A truth quietly told” – Album: A 3 song recording
   
6. Bob Dylan – “Talkin’ Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues” – Album: The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 : Rare And Unreleased, 1961-1991 [BOX SET]
   
7. Bonny “Prince” Billy – “I’ve Seen It All” – Album: Ask Forgiveness [EP]
   
8. Bows – “King Deluxe” – Album: Blush
   
9. Deerfhoof – “You, Dog (A.K.A. Kids Are So Small”
10. Dinosaur Jr. – “Feel the Pain”
