Raising Sand
(Brand:Decca)
Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant and bluegrass crooner Alison Kraussmay not be the likeliest of musical combinations. But on this welcome
collaboration album, they work beautifully together, wringing a kind
of magic from other people’s songs. The key to the album is its
versatility. Between them, Krauss and Plant can handle a vast
repertoire on their own, and here they take on the lot, from folk
laments and country soul to searing blues and upbeat rock & roll.
Overseen by Elvis Costello producer T Bone Burnett and backed by high
caliber musicians like guitarist Marc Ribot and multi-instrumentalist
Mike Seeger, Raising Sand sees the duo create stellar covers of songs
by Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt, Mel Tillis and The Everly Brothers,
among others. Highlights include a killer version of Roly Salley's
"Killing the Blues", and a cover of the Plant-Page collaboration
"Please Read the Letter," though in truth, it’s difficult to find a
weak spot on the whole album. --Danny McKenna...

Fearless
(Brand:Mercury)
18-year-old singing sensation Taylor Swift presents the listener witha conundrum. Her music isn’t particularly inventive--indeed it’s
built largely on what you could call country music clichés--yet she
does what she does so well you have to work really hard not to like
it. With her blond hair, blue-eyes and pretty face, it’s easy to
write Swift off as yet another "tweenie". But beneath the glossy
exterior lurks some genuine talent: she writes her own tunes, plays
(some of) her own instruments and even though she sings about the
inevitable pop themes of love and heartbreak, she doesn’t rely on
any "sex-sells" cynicism to shift her records. All of which is to say
that Swift’s second album, Fearless, while it won’t win any awards
for innovation, makes for pleasurable--if highly
predictable--listening. --Danny McKenna...
