This may go down as one of the big surprises of the year for my shelves. Hadn't thought about the Lanois-Burns sounds but they are present and it's too bad more records don't utilize that production style because everyone I have heard is pretty memorable.

I did a track-by-track review</a> last month. Like you, I wasn't sure if the pairing would work. I love Plant/Zep and like Krauss well enough, but it seemed a risky choice for them to collaborate. But it turned out to be one of my favourite albums this year. I’m glad to see this album getting some recognition. I did a track-by-track review last month.

Check out Big Log on her brother's first album, Victor Krauss' Far From Enough. Even has Bill Frisell and Jerry Douglas ripping it up. Really good album. i wasn’t as skeptical as you sound because I have heard AK cover Robert Plant before. Check out Big Log on her brother’s first album, Victor Krauss’ Far From Enough.
