CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Hal Horowitz Recommends: Mr. lemon squeezer and demure bluegrass/country artist Krauss initially seemed an odd pairing when their 2007 debut appeared. But a gold album and handfuls of awards later, it looked inspired. The follow-up didn’t appear until 2021 but the resulting Raising Sand was easily as good and arguably better than the first as the twosome tackled obscure oldies with other under the radar gems for a folk/rock masterpiece that was one of the year’s finest releases. Hear them pick and choose from both on this tour and maybe, just maybe, throw in a Zepp ringer. — HH

From the venue:

The return of Robert Plant & Alison Krauss was highly anticipated, and their announcement made quite a few rounds on Twitter. Their latest album, “Raise the Roof,” looks to be another masterpiece work with 12 new tracks and contributions from notable artists, including The Everly Brothers, Geeshie Wiley, Merle Haggard, Allen Toussaint, Anne Briggs, and many others. Krauss expressed great excitement about the album, stating that it’s a work aimed at moving people emotionally. She further added that it was an overall emotional moment for both of them to work together again, after so many memories. The album is also a reflection of their bond and harmony built over the years.

Similar to the album, their performances always move fans as well. There is a level of intimacy in their concerts that is unmatched. Fans have thoroughly enjoyed their performances, even when the duo has performed separately over the past several years. However, this will be a different moment altogether. The duo is coming back after fourteen years, and it is a lot of time. If you’re a fan of either one of them, you cannot afford to miss out on this occasion. Make sure you get your tickets on time because they will be sold out very soon!
