As its the record of the year, what is everyone opinion of it?

I have only heard Rich Woman. Its an odd song.

Is the rest of the album good?

    I agree with restlessoul, what an amazing album!

    might not be for those people who can't get over Plant not recording with Led Zeppelin anymore. :roll:
    but it's absolutely beautiful! the songs, the harmonies, everything. :) I love the fact that Plant wants/wanted to explore new things musically and experiment with his voice and of course Alison Krauss sings like an angel. :D

    I know a few people who don't want to listen to it because it's often labelled as 'country', but it sure as heck is like no country music I've heard before. :D

    It was a well produced, well performed album, but it aint as good as the hype. It was good enough to be album of the year at the Grammy's, but at an awards show where they actually give out awards for the best music, it wouldn't stand a chance.

    I like the album and can strongly recommend it. If it's like no country music you have ever heard, you haven't heard much country music.

    I would rather Plant do this than play Zep if he isn't into it, but it seemed like he, a bit distastefully, used the Zep reunion and the surrounding mayhem to really plug his album with Krauss.

    Combine the Zep hysteria from early 08 with the fact that Zep were never given their due by the Grammy's and that is what really won those Grammy's
