Another blow out on the Battles of the Bands. It was rigged! How was it rigged? I liked all artists who were involved.
The results were 12-3 in favor of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. If I was going to vote I think I would have given the nod to the Stones. I like that early, vintage Stones sound.
Some of you mentioned Alison wasn't featured as much on this song. That is correct. Some tracks on the disc are truer duets than others. Both Alison and Robert were given songs to take the lead in as well. In this case Robert was given the green light.
I think the real hero of the Raising Sand project is T-Bone Burnett. His production got mixed reviews in the comments. However, he has a golden finger when it comes to production. Handling two big vocals (and perhaps egos) Burnett was able to create a musical masterpiece that dominated the Grammy Awards.
I must admit it was cool to see him play guitar as well. As you know on my results posts I feature additional music. Instead of the obvious choices of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss I am going to choose T-Bone Burnett.
"Driving Wheel"...
I will leave you with this one...
