Raaf makes his saxophone sound like a violin, truly virtuosic playing.

Alison Krauss & Robert Plant: Raising Sand

I’m really enjoying this album — I think it’s the best one from Alison Krauss since the live recording with Union Station. Robert Plant, as famous as he may be, has never been someone I’ve listened to, but he and Alison have made something significant. Their voices blend effortlessly, and the style they create is truly unique, simultaneously rustic and modern.

Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile has one of the more beautiful voices I’ve heard in a while. In 2004 she was signed by Columbia Records based on recordings she had been making off and on from home. The following year she was featured in Rolling Stone’s 10 Artists to Watch in 2005.
