Raising Sand

Raising Sand is a Grammy-award winning collaboration album by rock singer Robert Plant and bluegrass-country singer Alison Krauss. It was released on October 23, 2007 by Rounder Records. Raising Sand won Album of the Year at the 2009 Grammy Awards.

Background

The two songs written by Gene Clark—"Polly (Come Home)" and "Through the Morning, Through the Night"—were originally recorded by Dillard & Clark for their 1969 album, Through the Morning Through the Night. In fact the Gene Clark & Carla Olson album "So Rebellious A Lover" was the blueprint for "Raising Sand." "Rich Woman" was first recorded by McKinley Millet (as L'il Millet) and his Creoles in 1955, for Specialty Records. "Please Read the Letter" was first recorded for the Page and Plant album, Walking into Clarksdale, in 1998. "Gone, Gone, Gone" was originally written and recorded by the Everly Brothers for Warner Music in 1964. They also recorded "Stick With me Baby" in 1960, for A Date with The Everly Brothers. "Trampled Rose" was originally written and recorded by Tom Waits, and was featured on Real Gone in 2004.

Gone Gone Gone (album)

Gone, Gone, Gone is an album by The Everly Brothers, originally released in 1964. It was re-released on CD in 2005 on the Collectors' Choice Music label.

Two of the tracks ("Radio and TV" and "Lonely Island") date back to 1960 recording sessions. The remainder, including the title hit, were all recorded at various sessions from January to September of 1964. It was the first Everly Brothers album in four years—since 1960's A Date with the Everly Brothers—to include songs written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, which had become unavailable after the Everlys parted with manager Wesley Rose.

The title track was covered by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on their 2007 collaboration album Raising Sand.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Richie Unterberger wrote of the album "A jumble of tracks from varying sessions that, despite some excellent moments, were indicative of the general directionlessness of the Everlys' career at this point."
