I agree that Plant's version is amazing...it's also the reason that I've
reacted at all the surprise about how well Allison Krauss's voice melds

For me, the highlight of "Adios Amigo" is Robert Plant's version of "If
It's Really Got to Be This Way", the lead track from "Lonely Just Like
Me."  Utterly transcendent.

Sometimes, from great sadness comes great beauty.
