Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - High And Lonesome (CMT Crossroads) Amazing performance!

Cross-post from Music Appreciation.

This is so good it gives me goosebumps.

New video uploaded by CMT Crossroads yesterday:

NME article (from October 2021) about the song, which was written by Robert Plant and T-Bone Burnett:

I loved the driving beat, the subdued viola(?), and Robert Plant's voice...he's still got it.
Just like when he sang for Led Zeppelin, his voice grabs you and carries you away.
It's just a bit more subdued and mellow now.
