Best $15 I've spent in a while, just ejected it from my computer here at work after my second listen. Got it discounted heavily at Borders (it was on sale and they let me use my member's coupon as well for another 25% off).

There's even an old Mel Tillis cover on it. At least three of the tracks made the hair on my neck stand up, "Nothin'" was especially moody and probably the darkest track on there musically, though many of the songs are laments and whatnot lyrically.

If you liked Led Zeppelin 3, this one is for you without a doubt.

edit: stream it

This is so weird: I just finished the chapter in Hammer of the Gods where they released Zeppelin III. I'll take this as a sign and check it out!

The Townes Van Zandt song is just tearing me up.

Plant's in good shape! Looks like he's been doing his Yoga.

Only song in full I've heard is the Everly Brothers cover. I liked it. I've heard snippets of the other tracks, none really grabbed me, although none bothered me either.

I'll have to go listen to that stream.

listening atm...it's very good, my kind of stuff...with the noise it sounds like all the cassettes i still listen to...

"polly come home" on now: stand out track for me, heard it once before...

For those who aren't normally inclined to like roots/country tinged stuff, try the "Nothin'" track first. It's dark like a zep tune.

I saw the album cover and I couldn't tell which one was Robert Plant and which one was Alison Kraus....

I was initially excited because one of the promotional photos showed Plant holding a ukulele, so I bought the CD but now I'm finding it's kinda... boring.
