      I get a kick out of watching interviews of these two, or Alison on her own. She's very funny. She teases her co-conspirators in music making, in interviews and on stage in concert (like w/Union Station). But Robert Plant gives some of the teasing right back to her in some interviews -- implying that she's a bit of a taskmaster when it comes to harmonizing together. She's a mensch though and I'm sure she's gentle while being a music teacher to those she collaborates with.
      One of the many things I love about Alison Krauss is that I can trust her to never use autotune, the sound of which is like fingernails scratching a chalkboard to me. Because she can sing in tune when practicing and rehearsing, she will never need to use it -- as long as she can hear herself. I'm certain that's a must for her because it's part of how you harmonize with others. You're literally all creating sound waves, throwing them together, and it can either make a harmonic sound or a dissonant one. I don't know of much gray area there. Maybe that's why I love tight harmonies!

Wow. All y’all just discovering Alison Krauss… if you think she’s a great singer, you should hear her play fiddle!

    NPR, thank you for hosting all of the Tiny Desk Concerts. They are like jewels to be discovered by anyone willing to open their ears and hearts. Many of the artists premiered (not these 2) have been groups I've never heard of but have thoroughly enjoyed. If only we could take this same attitude with everything in life. ❤

    Plant is still exploring music only not the high volume, bombastic music like before. He’s finding the forms and styles of music more interesting to explore than the volume. He’s been there and done that already and he doesn’t wish to repeat himself.
    I applaud him for this collaboration and it’s like country blues music with no restraints. They can literally go in any direction musically.
