CMT celebrates Bluegrass Month by featuring some of the key players. Edward Morris reviews some Alison Krauss videos, including “Please Read the Letter” with Robert Plant:
Pensive and love-stricken, Robert Plant moves moodily through his grand house as Krauss, dressed in a belted tunic and tights, tags along. He’s importuning, she’s enigmatic. It may sound a bit too contrived, but the acute sense of longing shines through.

The album from which this song comes seems like an unlikely collaboration. It, however, somehow works as one of the best albums of the decade and any song from it would make my top twenty singles list this year.
