I thought it was an odd pairing and threw the catalog away.  I heard a single off the record &#8211; &#8220;Gone Baby Gone&#8221; and was interested.  Then I heard &#8220;Fortune Teller&#8217;s Daughter,&#8221; and I bought a copy.  I listened.  And then I gave it away as a Christmas present to everyone I could think of!<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to Friday with Krauss and Plant on the stage at JazzFest.  It was even better than I expected.  They performed the songs from the album well, but it was the extras that blew me away:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From the record, I thought it was Krauss taming Plant, and making it all work.  Seeing them on stage, I know realize the glue that binds this unlikely group together is T. Bone Burnett.  He&#8217;s the mad scientist that puts this all together.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;When the Levee Breaks&#8221; is a totally different song in a post-Katrina New Orleans.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The Battle of Evermore&#8221; was a totally unexpected gift.  Sure we have Led Zeppelin&#8217;s version to listen to.  And Ann and Nancy Wilson did a good version too, as heavily produced as it was for the &#8220;Singles&#8221; soundtrack.   But to get it live?  And so well done?  It was musical bliss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There was lots of good music this year, but this act was my favorite by far.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/img_0706.JPG\" title=\"img_0706.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dandunn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/img_0706.JPG\" alt=\"Krauss and Plant\" width=\"436\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year I got a catalog from Rounder Records and saw the new Allison Krauss record with Robert Plant on the cover.
