[quote user="Andy H"]Has to be Raising Sand by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss absolutely fab vocals and a nice relaxing listen. Don't buy very many new albums as I'm stuck into a 80's rock time warp and not much modern stuff does it for me.[/quote]
Are we allowed to disagree? I had big hopes for this album as I love both of them, but found that the comments in some reviews about it being an 'intimate dance between the two of them' (or some such) were way off the mark - felt to me like their parts were recorded in different studios. Very disappointing.
Anyhoo, doesn't fit the "in the last year" criterion, but 'Eastmountainsouth' by, surprisingly, Eastmountainsouth is probably the best complete album I've bought in the last five years.
