Robert Plant and Alison Krauss: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Музыка
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bob Boilen | December 13, 2021
What a remarkable sight to see the reunion of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss gathered around a couple of microphones in Nashville. It's been 14 years since their surprising and remarkable album Raising Sand and now they're back at Sound Emporium, the studio where they recorded some of that first record and the entirety of their new album Raise The Roof.
Huddled in the control room are an all-star cast of musicians, with Jay Bellerose on drums, JD McPherson on guitar, Dennis Crouch on upright bass, Stuart Duncan on guitars and ukulele, and Viktor Krauss on electric bass and guitar. All of these folks minus JD McPherson played on the original recordings of the songs you'll hear in this Tiny Desk (home) concert.
They kick it off with the rockabilly sounds of "Can't Let Go," a song originally recorded by Lucinda Williams and written by Randy Weeks. For their second number, Robert Plant recalls a song he first heard as a 15-year-old listening to some great R&B by Bobby Moore & the Rhythm Aces. He and Alison Krauss put their hearts and harmonies into a cover of that song, "Searching For My Love." Alison takes the lead on the final tune "Trouble With My Lover," written by Allen Toussaint and recorded in the '60s by the "Lost Queen of New Orleans Soul," Betty Harris. These interpretations are delicate, gripping and so damn special.

I get a kick out of watching interviews of these two, or Alison on her own. She's very funny. She teases her co-conspirators in music making, in interviews and on stage in concert (like w/Union Station). But Robert Plant gives some of the teasing right back to her in some interviews -- implying that she's a bit of a taskmaster when it comes to harmonizing together. She's a mensch though and I'm sure she's gentle while being a music teacher to those she collaborates with. One of the many things I love about Alison Krauss is that I can trust her to never use autotune, the sound of which is like fingernails scratching a chalkboard to me. Because she can sing in tune when practicing and rehearsing, she will never need to use it -- as long as she can hear herself. I'm certain that's a must for her because it's part of how you harmonize with others. You're literally all creating sound waves, throwing them together, and it can either make a harmonic sound or a dissonant one. I don't know of much gray area there. Maybe that's why I love tight harmonies!

It’s interesting that Allison sings awesome duets with a variety of other vocalists. I just listened to her sing “The Boxer” with Shawn Colvin and it was just as amazing as this.
I remember after Raising Sand came out, I was listening to a Robert Plant interview, and he said he didn’t feel intimidated when he played in front of 250,000 people, but the first time he sat down with Alison Krauss and T-Bone Burnett in her living room, he felt intimidated by her presence and skill. Wow. All y’all just discovering Alison Krauss… if you think she’s a great singer, you should hear her play fiddle! She was called a “virtuoso” by Vanity Fair when she was just 13, after winning a national bluegrass fiddle competition. Her fiddling is even better than her singing, if that’s possible.

To hear Robert still singing, after growing up with Led Zep, brings tears of happiness to my eyes. All he has done, created, influenced. plus surviving the personal tragic losses of his son and Bonzo, what a great, great man.
This duet is awesome! (im happy Alison Krauss has been inducted into the bluegrass hall of fame!!! so very well deserved!)

Plant is still exploring music only not the high volume, bombastic music like before. He’s finding the forms and styles of music more interesting to explore than the volume. He’s been there and done that already and he doesn’t wish to repeat himself. I applaud him for this collaboration and it’s like country blues music with no restraints. They can literally go in any direction musically. Fantastic!

Allison's voice. Wow! Just a band of great musicians enjoying playing what they are playing. As a LZ fan for decades, took me a while to understand why Robert Plant never wanted to put the band together. Now I get that he doesn't want to be an artist stuck in the past, playing tunes from the past, no matter how great, and never really being able to sound like the old days. He's a different person and LZ would never sound like it did back then. OTOH, he sounds amazing as part of this beautiful collaboration.

I could have never predicted how wonderful Robert Plant and Alison Krauss would sound as a duet, or that they would have even tried. They are so good together!!!
I have loved all the duets by these two. I hope they release a few more albums together. Alison Krauss is one of the best vocalists on the planet.
Polished perfection: every piece of those songs is wonderful! Can Alison Krauss really sing like that every time on call ? Jay Bellerose usually steals every song in which he drums but Alison is dazzling here. Awesome band and precious music.
Such a pair! They sound SO good together-and the band wow!
Her voice is smooth as silk 😍
Very well done!! Shoutout to JD McPherson for bringing a little rockabilly to the session 👏👏👏
The amount of talent in this one room cannot be measured! Really enjoyed this, thankyou!
Bloody 'ell, Tiny Desk! I tried to listen to the studio record which is great but I keep coming back to this, the mix is amazin!

The Sound Emporium session is arguably even tighter.. 🎼🎸🎙️🎙️🤌
Alison is singing in a voice I’ve not heard before, nothing held back. And I’m loving it!

Great vocals, for sure, and wonderfully noisy obsolete guitar pickups, give this music great tone, and style! What a band!!

SO great to hear and see Jay Bellerose playing a vintage kit. Modern master of tasteful drumming. Go Jay!

@@campcrafter4613 I love the texture masters as much if not more than the virtuosos. Great feel is like magic...
I love the sound these two make.They compliment each other so well.The band are totally on point too.
Abousutely best duet I have heard. They hop off each other brilliantly.
Well, that was dadgum flippin’ FANTASTIC! Never ever tire of the sound of these two harmoninzing! ❤️
Beyond the stunning beauty of the music and the charisma every person pictured here has got, this is one of the best sounding npr I’ve ever heard
What can you say! It would just take too many superlative adjectives to describe this amazing duo! WOW!!!

Same here it’s so superlative. Hi there how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
Alison Krause is so beautiful...and I'm 33 years old. Such a wonderful voice she has. Wish I could meet her in person.
Well I woke up on the right side of the bed this morning thanks to this!
They are having such fun as well..A joy to watch! My best friend already got us tickets for my birthday to one of their concerts...I wish such a best friend on each and everyone out there!
They leave me speechless. It's almost impossible to put Into words how incredible it is for me, someone who grew up on Led Zeppelin in the early eightees, to imagine Robert Plant doing this with someone who I grew to appreciate in the 2000s just as much, three decades later.
This music puts me in such high spirits!!!🤗😍 I wish the concert lasted longer than 3 songs. Alison has the most incredible voice...so touching and mind-blowing!

@Robert Plant May your career be the longest a musician has ever had!
This has to be one of the best tiny desks yet, purely belter 🙏🎶
Boy Robert's been taking his voice lessons seriously. His vibrato is relaxed and under really nice control. Good breath support.

He has talked about it.
They get better and better. Very satisfying. AK has been my favorite female vocalist for decades; irresistible. Love that Gretsch sound! What a group. Thing is, nothing is overplayed; it's just the right touch.
I have always loved Lucinda Williams' "Can't Let Go," such a great song, but I have never heard it better than this. This is beyond my wildest expectations. What a performance.
The Beauty and Grace of Alison,coupled with his Timeless Art,absolutely Magical. Much Love from the Heart of Texas.
JD killing it on the guitar! Amazing performance
Saw them this past Saturday at Merriweather Post Pavilion. They were wonderful! What a terrific pairing. Their voices were made for each other. Fun fun time, including the 3 Zeppelin songs they do.
I love them singing together ❤ 💜 💕 💗 💓
