Thanks for posting this — I loved it when I heard it in the commercial and was glad to get more info about it so I could hear the whole thing.

[…] me off guard. Stunningly beautiful album from two seemingly opposite front (wo)men. I know JC Penny’s is using this in a commercial so I am obviously a little late to the party but this is a damn good […]

SO glad someone researched this… I don’t get very excited about a song very often. This time I did. Wow! I’ll have to pick up Raising Sand. Thanks guys!

I knew it had to be Robert Plant……it sounded very reminiscent of the duet with Alison Krause “the Letter” Gotta get the CD now since it has rave reviews!!

The are playing in concert in Boston in June!

Great song. I thought it might be the Plant/Krause team but I had never heard this particular cut before.

It was driving me crazy, I am glad to find out who does it. I also checked out that Rowland Salley website, great stuff. Amazing that this guy has played bass for Chris Isaac for 20 years, he is as good a singer, writer and player as Chris, and I like C.I. a lot.

Simply great. I’m so glad I could find out who performed this (from the jcpenney commercial). Alison Krauss’s voice is so smooth and sweet. The music, and the lyrics, are magic. This doesn’t happen very often! Nice selection on JCP’s part. I think it’ll make people think again about them.

Fyi: the song is great, but the location rocks. It’s a little town on eastern Virginia on the middle penninsula. Known to occupants as the middle of no-where, but is actually now the second most desirable place to live. It is Kilmarnock, It is my town!!

Great to know about the solo album. I can’t believe it took so long for someone to mention Roly. His late 70s version from the old Woodstock Mountains lp still beats any version I’ve heard. I play the tune whenever I can, usually with a down-and-out guitar player named Dave who knew Roly years ago in Rockford, IL. I hope JC Penney is giving him a bundle of money!

The song was actually written quite a few years back by Roly Salley, who amongst other things has been playing bass with Chris Isaak for over 20 years. He recorded his own version on his solo record released in 2006. http://www.rowlandsalley.com/

“leaves were falling”…that’s exactly how Ramble On starts out. It seems like Robert Plant is going to do very well on his tour with Alison Krauss.
