I don't know what it is about these latter day Robert Plant records that strikes such a chord with me; maybe it's something about the combination of the British folk + rock and roll elements, plus the eclectic other sources that find their ways into the mix. Where it started was Raising Sand, which has turned out to be one of those albums that just hasn't gone away, years on, and Raise the Roof is the first time that he and Krauss have returned to collaborating. It's not as great as the first one, but it's good still; favourites are the really quite folksy "Go Your Way" (Plant on mournful lead vocals) and "It Don't Bother Me" (Krauss over the top of a forceful thrum), also a jaunty version of "Can't Let Go".
