The new Scott Matthews album, “Elsewhere”, will be released on May 25, 2009 and features a duet with Robert Plant on “12 Harps”. Matthews opened for Robert on some UK Raising Sand tour dates. Scott says of recording with Robert: “When he turned up at the studio, we just started jamming and I began singing to show him the melody and the phrasing, and I forgot who I was singing with. We only did a couple of takes and nailed it.”

Check out 12 Harps. It’s a sad little song of loss with vocals by Matthews alone, Plant alone, and both together.
