    I don't know if this is a true story... I hope it is. Legend has it that while Plant and Krauss were rehearsing for this, they stayed over at Plant's house near Kidderminster. One Friday evening, he took her down to his village pub, where they were persuaded to put on an impromptu performance for the locals. Can you imagine how good an evening that would have been!!

    she's physically beautiful, has the voice of an angel and plays the violin like a virtuoso, the woman is incredible and paired with Robert Plant creates what can only be described as 100% pure magic. I don't know who had the idea of these two teaming up but what an epiphany. like cornbread and melted butter, they complement each other perfectly.

      There is is an interview on here, somewhere, where they explained how when they both feeling desperate about how to put a certain song togetheer, T-Bone explained it to them. And then it worked out for them as well. Sorry I don't have the link to that interview anymore. Alison Krauss is the most decorated woman in the US music business by now. Earned 27 Grammys, so far. (If I'm not outdated.) Mabe some thought: "who ever is Robert Plant?" Hehe.

    Alison is one of the most vocally captivating live performers I've ever had the privilege to see.I first saw her when she was basically a kid before she became so famous at Bean Fest on the streets of Mountain View Arkansas.I just stood there in awe ..

    I just saw them live on the 17th and they performed this song. I cannot even describe how it felt to hear and see that song live with Robert (Friggin) Plant singing it. Alison Krauss' voice is not of this world. Together they brought me to tears. A visceral response like the one I had is a rare occurrence and can only happen when your soul realizes you are witnesses to something massive. Never, in a zillion years would I have ever thought I would hear that song live, or any song by Led Zeppelin and when it happened, I was overcome. Music that gets into you like this becomes part of who you become, there is a before and after me now because of this... another rare occasion, since usually when people are changed in a split second like this, it is usually caused by trauma, not pure joy, I can only think that becoming a parent in childbirth or becoming a grandparent feels this profound. If you have the chance to catch Sir Robert Plant and Alison Krauss in concert. Go, no matter what, just go, you cannot be disappointed, it is impossible. ♥ btw, today is Robert Plants' 74th birthday. :)

      Might've been true when you posted this originally, I don't know. But Beyonce now has 32 while Krauss has 27.
      That being said, I can't stand Beyonce's packaged and over-produced MOR pop, while I could listen to Krauss all day.

      Thanks for pointing this out--that 1927 flood was a terrifying event--equivalent to Hurricane Katrina; millions of acres under 20 feet of water for months; armed men patrolled the levees on each side of the Mississippi from Illinois down to Louisiana, because the farmers from the other side might want to break the levees across from them to save their own property by ruining the other side. almost 30,000 square miles....Hundreds, maybe more, poor rural people especially blacks, were left to drown. It's a mystical protest song written from the POV of the black victims, whom no one would come to save.

    I don't think Alison Krauss has one rock and roll bone in her body. She does do a great blues rendition of this song. What surprises me is seeing Plant with a guitar in his hand. I'd love to hear Jimmy Page's opinion of Plant's guitar-playing abilities. Krauss and Plant do best when they don't try to sing together. They said themselves they're like oil and vinegar: even though their voices don't mix, somehow they work together. I agree with the first part.Contrast what they do when they try to sing together with Plant singing with Sandy Dennis in the studio version of The Battle of Evermore. There's no comparison. Those two voices blend. These two don't. I really wish Plant would do duets with Ann Wilson. Now that could be special.
