“Rich Woman” was first recorded by McKinley Millet (as L’il Millet) and his Creoles in 1955, for Specialty Records. “Please Read the Letter” was first recorded for the Page and Plant album, Walking into Clarksdale, in 1998.
“Gone, Gone, Gone” was originally written and recorded by the Everly Brothers for Warner Music in 1964.
They also recorded “Stick With me Baby” in 1960, for A Date with The Everly Brothers.
“Trampled Rose” was originally written and recorded by Tom Waits, and was featured on Real Gone in 2004.
Apart from the influence of Plant and Krauss’ vocal styles and talent, the album’s producer, T-Bone Burnett, is credited with giving the album its skeletal musical style.
The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, selling about 112,000 copies in its first week, the highest chart position for either artists’ solo work, although Plant had previously reached #1 several times with Led Zeppelin.[21] Raising Sand was certified platinum by the RIAA on March 4, 2008.
After the album’s success at the 2009 Grammy Awards, the album topped the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart and Top Internet Albums chart for the first time on the week of February 28, 2009.
