Robert Plant and Alison Krauss: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
They kick it off with the rockabilly sounds of "Can't Let Go," a song originally recorded by Lucinda Williams and written by Randy Weeks. For their second number, Robert Plant recalls a song he first heard as a 15-year-old listening to some great R&B by Bobby Moore & the Rhythm Aces. He and Alison Krauss put their hearts and harmonies into a cover of that song, "Searching For My Love." Alison takes the lead on the final tune "Trouble With My Lover," written by Allen Toussaint and recorded in the '60s by the "Lost Queen of New Orleans Soul," Betty Harris. These interpretations are delicate, gripping and so damn special.

O' Little Town of Bethlehem · Bob Dylan
From an interview with Bob Dylan after he released his Christmas album.
BF: You really give a heroic performance of O’ LITTLE TOWN
OF BETHLEHEM The way you do it reminds me a little of an Irish rebel song. There’s something almost defiant in the way you sing, “The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.” I don’t want to put you on the spot, but you sure deliver that song like a true believer.
Dylan: Well, I am a true believer.
God saves people you would never expect to be saved, if you’re reading this and you know Jesus saved you, isn’t that amazing? God saved a person like you.
