Here’s a beautiful song from 2007’s Grammy-winning Raising Sand, a collaboration between Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
This is the sort of safe, adult contemporary album that Grammy loves to award with its top prize (think Norah Jones, Steely Dan, Adele, Ray Charles, Celine Dion, Santana, Herbie Hancock, Dixie Chicks and the O Brother Where Art Thou? performers in just the last 20 years).
I’m not really sure how this song made it onto my radar back in 1993. I don’t think it was a huge hit, and I’ve never been a radio listener. Maybe I came across the video on MTV or VH1.
At any rate, I liked it enough to pick up Robert Plant’s Fate of Nations album. But the rest of the album didn’t do anything for me so I eventually sold it back and forgot all about ’29 Palms’ until a couple of weeks ago.
This now becomes a tale of technology, specifically Apple technology.
