The chemistry between these two, the interesting blend of musical styles and generations just kind of gels. I am off to buy the whole album now. Have only seen the video for the one song and love it!

So no, I'm not "swept along in the hype". Good points tho -- but just by Plant being on it, it's obviously aimed at the mainstream. It's never going to be in the sort of genre you describe. So why compare it to a recent release by Gillian Welch? I really, genuinely like the album — and didn’t expect to as much as I do. So no, I’m not “swept along in the hype”.

As a pop/rock album it holds true, but compared to recent releases by Gillian Welch or other similar genre artists it is found sadly lacking. Plants voice does anything but compliment Krauss. That said, T Bone delivers solid production once again. As I said, worthwhile, but hardly outstanding.
