What happens when a rock god and a bluegrass icon get together to record an album of bluesy duets? Raising Sand, the already critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated, chart-topping collaboration between Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, leader of bluegrass titan Alison Krauss and Union Station. Plant's wisened, worldly (or is it otherworldy?) baritone intertwines beautifully with Krauss's warm, sweet-as-sugar harmonies in a mixture of deftly understated classic blues, country and rock tunes. The duo, following a highly publicized and well received Led Zeppelin reunion show in London's O2 Arena, set out across the country to showcase their back-porch revelations on a very special tour.
