Robert Plant and Alison Krauss to Release a New Collaborative Album 'Raise The Roof'

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have reunited for a surprise new collaborative album, Raise the

Roof, which will be released on November 19. Their lead single, a cover of the Lucinda Williams stomper “Can’t Let Go,” accompanied the album announcement, which promises a mix of songs that blend together English folk and Americana.

The new album has Plant and Krauss singing songs by Merle Haggard, Allen Toussaint, The Everly Brothers, Anne Briggs, Geeshie Wiley, Bert Jansch, Betty Harris and the band Calexico, among others. There is also a Plant-Burnett original.

The duo plan to tour in 2022

The former Led Zeppelin front-man, previously best known for his high-decibel shrieking and rock star theatrics, found more docile Nashville melodies with country and bluegrass icon Krauss on their first collaboration.

Robert Plant said "Finally the doors are open and after 14 years here's a sequel to Raising Sand. Full of interesting curves and great musicality in the company of great musicians, we "Raise the Roof". Listen to our first single from the record “Can’t Let Go”, out now!"

Catch Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes from Melbourne at Kirton In Lindsey Town Hall Friday 27 August 2021

Town Hall Live Indoor Concerts Resume on Friday 27 August with a concert by Lachlan Bryan & The
Wildes from Melbourne with support from Dan Webster

Town Hall Live Indoor concerts are back after a 18th month absence due to the Coronavirus pandemic.  There is a great Autumn programme booked, see below and hopefully they will not be hit by further restrictions over the period.
For the first concert they welcome Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes to Kirton.  They were originally due to play in May 2021 and the organisers are delighted that they are coming over from Australia.  Prior to 2020, they had built up a solid following and increased their fan base each year. 
You can pin a multitude of labels on Lachlan's music and not be far off the mark. Take you pick from rock 'n' roll, folk, alternative country or any other contemporary folk cliche.  What isn't in doubt is that Lachlan writes superb songs about diverse subjects which always tell a story.
The band have released four albums since 2013 and all are packed with quality material.  Their latest 'Nearest Misses' is a live album, which is basically a 'Best Of' album featuring songs from 'Black Coffee', 'The Mountain' and 'Some Girls (Quite) Like Country Music'.
The Wildes are Shaun Riley on bass guitar and Riley Catherall on lead guitar, whilst Lachlan takes lead vocals and plays guitar, keyboards and harmonica.
Support will come from York singer songwriter and THL favourite Dan Webster.  Dan has released four full length albums over a ten year career, the latest of which is the excellent 'Devil Sky'
 Tickets are priced at £14
They can be purchased from Brian on 01652 649230 or brianchudley@btinternet.com or can be purchased on line from www,wegottickets.com
