There's no communication breakdown on this coupling, Raising Sand, between the king of
''Kashmir'' and the queen of neo-bluegrass. They ultimately meet in a
roots-rock commonwealth, joined by producer T Bone Burnett, who picked
the eclectic covers, and Marc Ribot, a guitarist who can make rockabilly
licks sound ethereal. As with last year's Emmylou Harris — Mark Knopfler
disc, these aren't ''duets'' but exercises in sublime harmony, with Alison Krauss
taking the lead on the macho blues stuff and Robert Plant manhandling the
''feminine'' material.
