Fourteen years after their award-winning album Raising Sand, the pair reunite with another very fine covers album, ably produced by T Bone Burnett, of blues, country, soul, but also now infusing English folk. Bert Jansch’s It Don’t Bother Me and an electrified version of Anne Briggs’s Go Your Way are two of the standouts, as well as Lucinda Williams’s Can’t Let Go, opener Calexico’s Quattro (World Drifts In), and Bobby Moore and the Rhythm Aces’ Searching for My Love. There’s a magical chemistry between the ex-Led Zep frontman and bluegrass-country singer, particularly when they harmonise, and here brought together with a lovely understated minimalism with the backing band. Out on Warner Music.
