A new album from Robert Plant and Alison Krauss is reportedly in the works.
The duo famously collaborated on 2007’s Raising Sand, which earned platinum sales and took home five Grammy awards, including Album of the Year.
During a recent episode of the Everyone Loves Guitar podcast, Greg Leisz, the pedal steel guitarist who played on Raising Sand, mentioned he’d heard material earmarked for the new LP.
“I actually just recently heard a song from the upcoming record,” Leisz admitted. “[Plant] is doing another record with - has done another record - with Alison Krauss and I heard a track from it the other day.”
According to Leisz, the song, which he described as “incredible,” was titled “Searching For My Baby.” “When you hear that, it’s going to blow your mind,” the musician declared. “It’s fantastic.”
The latest information regarding a second Plant/Krauss collaboration aligns with details revealed last year. A May 2020 story in Uncut magazine about Lucinda Williams noted that the country singer had just gotten back from a recording session with the duo in Nashville. The magazine added that T-Bone Burnett, who produced Raising Sand, was also with them in the studio.
During a BBC radio interview two months later, Plant jokingly referred to Williams as “a little tinker,” before admitting “there’s all sorts of stuff rumbling and smoking left, right and centre right now” regarding another album with Krauss.
Besides Raising Sand, the Led Zeppelin frontman and bluegrass-country singer also worked together on the 2015 single “The Light of Christmas Day,” which was included on the soundtrack to the feature film Love the Coopers. The most recent studio albums from each artist - Carry Fire by Plant and Windy City by Krauss - came out in 2017.

No one is asking who you like better. We are telling you that the two together are unexpectedly awesome, more than the sum of the parts, very much worth a listen, and to watch for the new album.
Nice
But at least do something like a show for pay for view
Of Led Effing Zeppelin ....
Percy what is your aversion...your band mates would do it in a second....
A Netflix special
Man....one last time....
This is one of those threads shows how weird this forum is
Cat ladies and old people...
And yes that includes me
As for Alison Krauss, her duet with Brad Paisley called "Whiskey Lullaby" was her greatest moment. And I know she had more than one great moment. (So did Robert Plant)
I had the 1st lp, not impressed
It’s more than that here....and I like you don’t get ruffled
But this thread is already teeming with Mancinis bashing Led Zeppelin and trumpeting Krauss Burnett and Plant as somehow better than Led Zeppelin which is rubbish of the first order
Or espoused by people too old for Led Zeppelin to begin with
Burnett produces great stuff...he and Ry Cooder and Daniel Lanois could all make any sound flow melodic and haunting
But it ain’t better than Led Zeppelin
Agreed on that last. Did anyone say that in the thread? I’d have to look. I sure didn’t.
But they’re great together. And Zep is no more, that train left the station decades ago.
The Plant/Krauss version of Battle of Evermore, in particular, live, was insanely good. And really the whole show.
That surprises and disappoints me.
and you keep embarrassing yourself with each post- you go girl.
LOL!
Your lack of (musical) intellect is demonstrated in your posts...kinda like a leftist.
You go, Josef!
Now slither back under your rock....bye-bye!
I like Alison and Robert....one of my best pals who I ate dinner with last nite at the Thompson station depot....called Circa......Rib was with me.. coincidentally ....is pals with Plant...who has property here in Williamson county and in urban Nashville and is here a lot ...maybe 20% of the year on average
Robert favors beautiful southern housewives and divorcees here....he’s carved a large swath...some rather young...course he is Led Zeppelin
And they like him too..lol....he’s rough looking but very charming so I hear...
He’s also kind hearted...when some groupie he’d known from Dallas was dying in southern Kali years back destitute he started laying for her care and visited regularly and paid for her funeral...so says Pamela Des Barres....who’d know...I’d think....he’s a good man
Led Zeppelin is great rock band ever......
Notice I said Rock....rock and roll would go to the Stones
One mans opinion
A plug.....my pal is a small equity holder
LMFAO- and the Kraus/RP version of Black Dog is better than the original on Zeppelin IV...whatever you say Goebbels..
Some people are dumber than dumb. Then there’s you- who can only aspire to that level.
Thanks for your multiple confirmations of a low IQ - you must be a typical leftist from New York
All that sounds reasonable! Re: Plant et al.
Re: Circa - Not a side of the Nashville exurbs I typically transit. That place looks really good, though. Reminds me of a place we go to with friends that’s midway between Auburn and Lake Martin, in the dinky little town of Waverly, The Waverly Local. When you go, you think “What the heck is that doing THERE!?”
Then you go back every chance you get.
LOL- yet my IQ is still higher than the two brain celled moron who thinks the Krauss/RP version of Black Dog is better than the original from Zeppelin IV.
Go listen to your Straus, minister Goebbels.
I make the drive from goose creek to exit 340 west to Decatur for Milos Hamburgers when my kids crave it
About 89 miles....every few months....closest one
A habit they picked up stopping in Birmingham going to the beach or to Jackson Mississippi for kinfolks
My daughter and her hubby live near Lynchburg
Huntsville is their city...
It did me too. He was a demanding, impatient ass who treated “the help” like they were beneath him, and he stopped JUST SHORT of asking “Do you know who I am?” whenever anything didn’t go his way.
