RAISING THE CURTAIN
ON THIS WEEK’S ISSUE
I enjoy technology. Close
friends and family know that
when the latest and greatest
thing comes out, and it is some-
thing I am interested in, I will
more than likely get it.
A piece of technology that fi ts
that bill is the Samsung Galaxy
Fold 3 smartphone. While I won’t
get into a technical review of the
phone — there are plenty of on-
line reviews of the device from
people way more knowledge-
able than I am — I will say that
the phone off ers a noticeably
brighter display than my previ-
ous phone, the Samsung Galaxy
Note 20, and off ers impressive
multitasking features, which also
includes a Windows-like task-
bar that lets the user pin their
favorite apps to the side of the
display and follows them to any
app.
There are some things about
it that take some getting used
to — it’s a big phone (you know
when it is in your pocket) and
the cost of adding the S Pen
are a couple that jump to mind
(it should have been included).
But so far, the device has been
worth the wait, and everything
I’ve seen online indicates there
is more to look forward to as
more developers optimize apps
to work with the Fold.

CHEMISTRY OF PLANT,
KRAUSS CLICKS AGAIN
ON FOLLOW-UP
Pairing Alison Krauss’ angel-
ic soprano with Robert Plant’s
roguish tenor once sounded
like a bizarre idea — until
they started to sing together.
The improbable partnership
produced the hit album “Rais-
ing Sand” in 2007, and their
chemistry clicks again on the
long-awaited follow-up, “Raise
the Roof.”
Plant and Krauss stick to
the formula that worked before
and still ignore pop trends.
Producer T Bone Burnett re-
turns to oversee spare, rootsy
arrangements and directs a
stellar supporting cast that
includes guitarist Marc Ribot,
drummer Jay Bellerose and
Krauss’ brother, bassist Viktor
Krauss.
The songs are again an
eclectic collection that in-
cludes covers of obscure
rockabilly, country and folk
tunes, with sources ranging
from the Everly Brothers and
Allen Toussaint to Calexico and
Merle Haggard.
Krauss and Plant focus on
love and loss, with death a
recurring character. “Leave me
out, let the buzzards eat me
whole,” they sing on “Last Kind
Words Blues.”
