Like its predecessor, Raise The Roof was produced by T Bone Burnett, who worked with Plant and Krauss, accompanied by drummer Jay Bellerose, guitarists Marc Ribot, David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, Bill Frisell, and Buddy Miller, among others.
The album features 12 covers by Merle Haggard, Allen Toussaint, The Everly Brothers, Bert Jansch and more. There is a Plant-Burnett original, "High and Lonesome," and "Can't Let Go," written by Randy Weeks and first recorded by Lucinda Williams.
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' new recording of "Can't Let Go" can be heard HERE.
For his part, Plant was keen to introduce the English folk traditions he has loved since adolescence, while Krauss cites hearing "Quattro (World Drifts In)" by the American group Calexico, as "the moment I knew we'd make another album."
"We wanted it to move," Krauss continues. "We brought other people in, other personalities within the band, and coming back together again in the studio brought a new intimacy to the harmonies."
Adds Plant: "You hear something and you go 'Man, listen to that song, we got to sing that song!' It's a vacation, really — the perfect place to go that you least expected to find."
Released in 2007, Raising Sand won six Grammy Awards, earned a CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year, plus Album of the Year and Duo/Group of the Year accolades from the Americana Music Honors and Awards.
