Re: Plant and Krauss

["Wyatt Brake" <wyattbrake@xxxxxxxxx>]

The excerpts sound very intriguing.  I think we can be confident that
Robert's voice will have been recorded very differently than it has
been in the past ten or fifteen years, and I think that could be a
very good thing.

I watched the video with my girlfriend, who almost immediately
asserted that Krauss and Plant were sleeping together (apparently she
could ascertain this simply by the way they interacted in the
interview).

While this may or may not be the case, it's undeniable that the two
have a certain chemistry together.  I was fortunate enough to witness
their collaboration at the Leadbelly Tribute show (November 7, 2004...
my review can be found at tblweb's Tour Watch) in Cleveland, to which
they refer in the video.  Their vocals really meshed well at that
show, and that may have served ultimately as the inspiration for this
album.

In any event, I'm very much looking forward to this release.
