Alison Krauss & Robert Plant : Killing The Blues (Live)

Had gone from here so I'm reinstating it. From "Later With Jools Holland" Oct 2008. Rowland Salley song.

There is nothing of a "beast" to Robert Plant! He is a national treasure. Feel blessed you are alive in his lifetime. No one will ever come close to the perfection you see in him! I am so grateful he gives so much of himself to the world of music lovers, just like John Lennon did, and some crazy bastard shot him, stealing from the world so many great yet to be written and performed songs! The world is truly much more enjoyable with such talent and generousity, don't you agree?

OMGasp! That would mean Heaven came to Earth forever instead of the 4:25 minutes of this astonishingly brilliant and perfectly consonant version of "Killing The Blues." Not often a fan of others covering others' songs; but, together, these two, that stellar back-up band, their copacetic gift to listeners? Simply angelic and bedevilling both. Love the way they both turn together, ever so subtly, so slightly, so in sync with each other. One of my fave performances, period. I'd visit if TBB did :)!

Not a John Prine song, although John Prine is one among several artists who have recorded cover versions.

The song was written by Rowland Salley.

I need more vibrato.

Amazing!!!! So incredible...can pull off the most amazing things even while wearing the puffy shirt. Sorry, had to say it.

Mustn't forget Jerry Douglas' brilliant steel guitar playing. The whole track is sheer magic!

John Prine Song redone very well by these two singers!

Oh so beautiful, I just love anything by Alison and Robert. Brilliant guitar playing by T Bone Burnett. He's a genius.

This is absolutely beautiful. It might be the most perfect thing I've ever heard
