Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

[MrBasilides]

impresionante, I feel with this song a strange nostalgic, like Pessoa says a SAUDADE...WONDERFUL...

[jenbur3]

The beat reminds me of an elephant walking.

[coitinsforyourocky]

The banjo included in this song just made it sound that much more enticing.......I LOVE banjo music........:D I really want this entire album, too......

[my57bug]

This whole cd is awesome. Who would have thought you could combine two musicians like this and produce such a great cd.

[sandysue40ify]

Beautiful!

[tas6010]

Wow. They do this song well! It was written by Sam Phillips and released on "Don't Do Anything" in 2008.

[selfuncontained]

i love the pictures of florence, especially ponte vecchio. my favorite place in the world, with one of my favorite songs- perfect!

[JoshuaTaylor]

These lyrics haunt me most every day... " Echoes of light that shine like stars after they're gone..." 

[Spoonerism2501]

This track, heard it at work, just... wonderous! So atmospheric, so enchanting... wow. Me likes. Me Likey's a lot!

[lizzyvance]

I really like this song. Are there any songs similar to this? If so please tell me. Alison and Robert are brilliant.

[tammyx423]

I think i've listen to this song over 60 times, and i can't get it out of my head. OMG..... are there any other songs like this? if so, please recommend

[GuitarKat93]

Crap.....this song is awesome, but it also reminds me of my ex. :(

[KaeFive]

@GuitarKat93 Sounds like a personal problem. Keep your shit to yourself.

[GuitarKat93]

@KaeFive Oooooookay......I was just commenting. Sheesh.

[nhb1234]

What a beautiful voice and an unselfish backup band!

[takerukari]

I swear I heard of this on a commercial for some T.V. series. Aside from that, I love this song.

[rain992]

This is brilliant. How could you even dislike this? <3

[peprice86]

Amazing!! Hauntingly beautiful, just like pink martini's que sera. =]

[LittleAmyy69]

jason mraz loves this song

[cowdragon13]

the beat and haunting singing reminds me of the Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton

[pototoesfieldforever]

:o

This is amazing!

[tagoota]

I like this video!

[praeeo]

Great song... Love the music... :)

[mewmewfanhallowen]

Cinqueterre, Arno, Ponte Vechio, Duomo. Love, love, love Italy!

[killerbanana5]

God i love this song. It could be taken from one of Tom Waits songs yet it also has its own unique appeal. Love the vocals too.

[pixarian]

upon listening to the album full through for the first time, track 3 gave me the notion that it would be one of my favorite albums ever. i was right. it's amazing. a wonderful collaboration.

[czech698]

murder was not like stealing a pencil-sharpener at school, or spilling something

[upthcreek]

the shadows of stars, after they're gone?

[OldScuff]

I assume this is a tribute in ways to Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Great song, beautiful vocals.

[DiamondOfDust45]

This song is totally different from any other songs that I listen to. That's why I love it so much.

[mattybatty51]

she weird

[igonnamesswithyou]

Damn her vocals on this song(and every other song)are incredible.

[verus666]

Viva SAM PHILLIPS,

the composer.

[Lawndale1984]

Alison has the voice of an angel looks like an angel too

[lucasboden]

This song was written by Sam Phillips who may be one of the most underappreciated singer songwriters in music today.

[luella812]

By far the best song on the album sorry Robert Plant but you almost ruined it. Alison Saved this Album from being cheesy. Alison Krauss could sing the phonebook and it would be beautiful.

[asanineartist]

i agree

[bvonzeppelin]

cjoye09, this is my favorite song from the CD too. I think it's my favorite song ever! besides Kashmir. Not so much for the high quality music, but for the lyrics. and, no better folk to sing it than these two. Thanks for sharing.

[ChocolateJesii]

I love this song...and Alison and Robert, I recently came across that they duet together. They're amazing! This song tho sounds like Tom Waits playing the musical, his type of of instrumental. Alison you need to get with Tom Waits for a duet, his lyric's are a bit crazy at times...but his instrumentals are of this nature of this song. Love your voice and music Alison and Robert....keep doing more.

[MrBushytop]

heard this song for the first time the other day. Terrific stuff

[mert828]

What a great and odd way to commemorate Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Listen to "Up Above my Head" by Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She is one bad woman.

[mert828]

My great uncle runs a bluegrass festival. About 20 years ago, we had Allison Kraus at our festival. My uncle told my sister (then about five and clueless) to ask for an autograph that says "Thanks for last night" on her album. She wrote, "Nice try" and signed it.

[crazyfencer00]

Beautiful! Btw, those pictures are incredible (don't envision Venice when hearing the song, but pretty nonetheless!).

[mert828]

The music is very Italian.

[coeus2k]

Alison Krauss.. wash yer mouth out!

[bvonzeppelin]

me too cjoye09, but I think this might be the purdiest song ever written, when you need a song like this. It's got a strong undertow.

[robrizob]

"Strong undertow"

Well put.

[Schnipsilemke]

I discovered Alison Krauss when the movie cold mountain came out and I think she just has a fantastic voice!!!

I really like this song!

Does anybody know, where I can download it???

[microwaveovens]

Raising Sand is the most beautiful album I've ever heard in my life. The only good project Plant has done after Zeppelin.

[wmarcus1203]

You should check out Page and Plant-Walking into clarksdale album..It is pretty good

[nottatuber]

I love love love this! I never tire of listening to this. It's magical.

[wommmbat]

And love Venice too..

[wommmbat]

Just discovered Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's collaboration.. like it .. much! .. I'm in love with Alison.. I know.. I'm a sad old git.. but I don't care no more..

[finglasttime]

She needs to stick to Bluegrass

[Mjollnir50]

Nobody can tell the river where to run.

[finglasttime]

Very true..I just know that Blue grass is where her roots are..

[Mjollnir50]

Absolutely, but 'grassers understand vertical intensity SO WELL that when they branch out they always add more to other styles...look at her cover of The Boxer with Shawn Colvin, for instance.

[charmedforever333]

Someone should really make a vid with this song and pictures of the diff. ren faires!!! TRF and Scarbie and all the diff charactures would be awesome!!!

[gigiokievo]

.... beautiful music and photos all very nice, shame that there is NOT also some photographs of Verona ...

Ciao , ciao to everyone.

[apsert]

Picture of ALL masonic buildings.

For those that have eyes to see and ears to which can listen........

[mNguyen56]

im not alone nice

[sporty751985]

Every time i listen to this song i get goosebumps ^_^ its wonderful.

[cjoye09]

I love those songs too but then again I love pretty much anything by Alison Krauss.

[kertoo]

this song would be perfect at the beginning of a great and terrible beauty movie (of they make one) a Gemma rides to Spence and sees the gypsy camp...great song

[taytay0708]

does anybody know what song would be good for a funny dance.. i need one for my senior peice in April and i cant find much.. it cant be crude ya know?

[sopranofamilycurse]

Somebody needs to use this song for a trailer or something it is fucking spooky

[54spiritedwill54]

Best song on the CD...

[nlp3000]

That and her cover of "trampled rose" are my favorite :)

[lillbabs123]

amazing :o

[highpsi11]

Yes - it reminds me of Cirque du Soleil too! And the arrangement has a quality of French or German caberet or of gypsy music. So interesting and haunting. And how wonderful to have a reminder of Sister Rosetta Tharpe!

[ConspiracyToRiot]

I love that eastern European sound ....intense...melodic...Plant and Krauss make a good duo...took my mind to another place

[AcousticAutumn1033]

i just bought this cd yesterday. this song is amazing. and every other song is just as good. LOVE IT =D.

[cmcwoodard]

:D this song makes me happy..

[scyren1]

Great Song! It reminds me of Cirque du Soleil music.

[horrorsower]

What song exatly is it this reminds you of? Do you have a source where you could look it up? I think this sounds familiar too but I cant find any information on it. It would be much appreciated if you could find the song.

[MystiFerdinand]

lol, me and my friends in english class have an interesting story about this song. Our teacher plays it in class, and it makes us think of mountain goats!

[cjoye09]

LOL, well that's one way to look at it :-)

[Proffs2008]

auch..

[timmyboy1970]

LOL....hilarious. GREAT song too!!

[FOOFOOKITTY]

@MystiFerdinand Y'all are weird ;-)

[brookscharles]

im new to this but "subscribe" im going back for blondie myself

[cbacharlie]

great song

[tl52]

a great album every song is good.

[elrond511]

At long last recognition for a Gal who broke every stereotype going. She was Hendrix before Hendrix. You know what I mean Robert.

[ohchino]

No, I don't.

Robert

[Christine66]

This song is haunting - enjoyed the beautiful pictures while listening to it. Glad you posted this.

[cjoye09]

Thank you so much for your kind comments :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[cmcwoodard]

AWESOME!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! this is like my fav. song.. GREAT video!!!

[cjoye09]

You are very welcome! And thank YOU!

[knules2]

just out of curiosity how many song on the album

[gpjacobs]

A very Tom Waits-like arrangement...

[welshdevondragon]

Thats exactly what I thought! Its beautiful

[werty9900]

Love this song. :]

Very Pretty.

[Beshimi]

great song.. you did a really good job with the video, too. i picture Italy in my head when i hear this.

[cjoye09]

Thank you so much!! :-)

[blownIroc]

Best song on the CD...

[Mimameior]

Think I actually prefer Sam Phillips' original version, but this is still excellent.

[Nefelits]

I rly liek this song

[TabOraSunset]

Beautiful song and video to match. So pretty! ;-)

[cjoye09]

So so sweet! You make me smile!

[garondmalef]

This song is enchanting, a definite close your eyes and listen song. It will be in a movie soundtrack very soon, mark my words.

[luckysplash]

she inspires me...mmmmm!!!

yummy!

[lonivision]

I just attended the AK/RP concert this week. This song in real-time is just mesmerizing and haunting. It has a great gypsy, spell casting quality. I love to hear Alison stretching her vocals - simply enchanting.

[curatorproductions]

Nice song Sam! I actually dig your version every bit as much as Alison's and that's saying something..

[sierraluz]

This is the best Alison has ever sounded. This song and the others are captivating.

[paduza]

i love you allison

[mamymoule]

Saw her in concert in Brussels, lovely tiny lady on stage, incredible, with her fiddle, it was splendid..and the concert too, go if you can...great great great concert....

[bluessiren78]

Great photography and great music! Thank you for sharing. I appreciate the last picture. Way to wrap it all up!

[cjoye09]

Thank you!

[469446944694]

Alison has one of the most beautiful voices that I have ever heard.

[TimelessGypsy]

I agree

[Diomodo]

such a lovely and marvellous song....mmmm!

[2rainbowed]

You have great artistic talent! The song has a shade of a gypsy sound at first.. but the images go beautifully well with this strange music, which sounds as if they're using non traditional instruments in the background..

[cjoye09]

Thank you so much! I browsed your channel and I love your favorites and just your general philosophy :-) You can tell you and I would get along pretty well! Stay hippie and hopeful!

[2rainbowed]

well... I have admired yours as well. Feel free to check things out anytime!

[FionaT39]

Beautiful song, no doubt about that. Maybe would have looked even more fab with pics of Sister Rosetta herself, the legend. Rosetta Tharpe pioneering Gospel singer, songwriter and recording artist greatly popular in the 1930s and 1940s with a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and early rock accompaniment. She played the mandolin.

This song, pays homage to several of her songs including "Strange Things Happening Everyday" and "Up Above My Head".

May we all continue to enjoy this gorgeous song.

[paudgrrrski]

mysterious and reminds me of Italian music i dont know why....

[cjoye09]

Yeah, it reminded me of Italy so that's why I incorporated pictures of Italy in the video :-)

[rojo5411]

cjoye, kudos for all the plant/krauss. i literally bought tickets to see them about 10 minutes ago. two greats indeed

[cjoye09]

Thank you very much! :-)

[Eidola]

Love this song. It's on repeat on my playlist...

[utazn5200]

Great song with a glass of merlot....

[kylebarber01]

ahh i love this song so muchh!!

[bdavis4life]

umm...what a great song. i keep watching this over and over

[kar2ouche]

Truly mystical sound. Though totally unconnected I am drawn to Cher "Dark Lady" every tine I hear this.....

[JoshuaTaylor]

I *dearly* love this song ! I've been listening to it over and over. The best thing on 'Raising Sand', IMO. Something oddly haunting about it. The lyrics are nothing short of mystical.

[TimelessGypsy]

I would have to agree with everything you said... I LOVE this song (then again I love the whole album). Their voices go so well together (she has a BEAUTIFUL voice).

[acoustic8y3]

There's something magical about this song, beyond every "raising sand" song. It doesn't sound like anything out there. For a while, I listened to it all day every day. Beautiful chords and vocal patterns. I hope more music like this is made.

[mrmdn]

I love this album and my girlfriend and I went all over Italy right before we broke up so this is heartbreaking and great at the same time.

[cjoye09]

It's a beautiful place :-)

[TheSeeker124]

I have seen all these places.... just this past fall... seeing this set to one of my favorite songs form the raising sand cd is a little ironic! Love it.

[cjoye09]

:-) That's so cool to hear!

[khJEDI]

I wanna go to all these places.

[GreenStrings700]

this cover is basically equal with the original, im suprised

[acoustic8y3]

what's the original?

[Dultzopeler]

Lekker nummer.

[Rhondalove]

An even more wonderous Alison Kraus.

[instantflavour]

Great images but the transitions are a bit too harsh - could do with some fading to soften the visual experience.

[cjoye09]

Thanks for the recommendation, I didn't think of that. :-)

[Debenheim]

Hey, great job on this. Beautiful song, beautiful pics. Nicely done.

[cjoye09]

Thank you :-)

[FayteKnightmare]

One of my faves too! i also love fortune teller :)

[Lazerbeam011]

great great great great great great great great great great

[silverXXstar]

I love this song.

=]

[Petlito]

Nice!
