Thanks to all our sponsors on wxhc. Peevey wanted a hippo for Xmas, we got a camel. Thanks to Achoo for visiting us and Homer today!!! After the resounding success of Zen he could have put out a carbon copy for his next album, but instead decided to go full-on rock god with Manic Nirvana. Subsequently, he made the earthy, organic, and personal Fate of Nations , then took a musical detour with Jimmy Page for a few years, and when that fizzled out he gave us a phenomenal covers album with Dreamland.
Mighty ReArranger signaled yet another change in musical direction. But he then pulled the most unexpected move of all in a career full of unexpected moves, and released an old-timey album with Alison Kraus, Raising Sand. Who would have seen that coming?
He has continued that trend in the almost 15 years since. Few artists have demonstrated such a steadfast refusal to retread the same ground from one album to another, such a conscious effort to avoid traveling the same road twice, such a steadfast commitment to boldly going where no artist has gone before, to put it in Trekkie-speak. With Robert Plant, there has always been a sense of excitement as we all wondered where his musical travels would take him next.
Which makes Raise the Roof a disappointment. For the first time in almost four decades, we find Mr. Plant repeating himself. And I will be honest, I am having a bit of a hard time with that. But the fact that it is more of the same from Plant and Krauss makes it kind of hard to accept. I expect more from Mr.
And much like its predecessor 15 years ago, while it is a much ballyhooed collaboration, it is a surprisingly low-key affair for the most part. Not much roof raising on the album, to be honest.
Plant and Krauss and T Bone Burnett as well set a template for the sound of the album, and never stray far from it. The problem is, too often there is an emphasis on mood, atmosphere, and texture at the expense of melody and message. These first two songs on this album bore me, and I would have buried them farther back in the album if I had been the one developing the track sequence.
Three songs in and we finally have a winner, and one of the few songs on the album I think will bear repeated listens. But Plant is able to sell it with a fun vocal, and I consider it one of the highlights of the album.
Actually, in my head I can picture a medley of the two songs, they would flow together pretty seamlessly. This one is a lot of fun though, and has an infectious energy lacking in some of the other songs. The vocals are superb, Plant and Krauss are obviously having a great time with it. Who sequenced this album anyway? And besides, there should have been more of this kind of roof raising on the rest of the album. More of this next time around please. But it kind of drones on without going much of anywhere.
It would have fit nicely on Might ReArranger , and more than any other song on the album breaks free of the neo-hillbilly music template most of the other songs are chained to.
