striking new collaboration between ex-Zep singer Robert Plant and bluegrass star Alison Krauss is not as unlikely as it seems, as they tell Neil McCormick

Robert Plant picks up my recording device, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "I have one of these for vocal ideas," he says. "But I never use it."
And now for something completely different: Plant and Krauss So what do you do? "I just wait until the tape starts running and then go, 'Oh baby, baby…'?"
Plant sang the word "baby", or variations thereon, 271 times on Led Zeppelin's nine studio albums. It was his shamanic role fronting this groundbreaking, world-conquering rock quartet for 12 years that established him as one of Britain's greatest voices

Only a little more striking IMO than Allison's 'collaboration' with Elvis Costello.
What does she see in that guy.
Never mind - I’m thinking of Dana Krall.
What is amazing is how well both collaborations work together.
Thanks for the link. Led Zepplin was my favorite band in college and now my favorite singer is Allison Krauss. She’s about the only singer that I will still buy as soon as they come out with a new CD. She’s never let me down and I can’t think of anyone else that I can say that about.
I’ve listened to the album twice tonight. Free. Good stuff...IMHO...I’m going to buy it...I like this new try it out for free concept on the internet. Now I’ll run it thru my way to expensive audio system.
Krauss/Plant Bump!
Elvis Costello is a pretty darned interesting musician in his own right. I don’t particularly care for portions of his catalog, but he’s been involved in some pretty interesting projects.
Not as weird as Dwight Yoakum doin' SuperFreak. ;-)
