That is about the most unlikely pairing I have heard of yet when it comes to music. Everyone knows Robert Plant from Led Zepplin and Allison Krauss started off as a Bluegrass singer. Talk about opposites when it came to music but somehow they clicked together and won a total of 5 Grammy’s. Go figure.
The 51st annual Grammys was an all-ages affair ultimately dominated by a rock legend who took up with a younger bluegrass singer on a whim. The unlikely pairing of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss that produced the hit album “Raising Sand” won five Grammys on Sunday including album of the year. The former Led Zeppelin front man, previously best known for his high-decibel shrieking and rock star theatrics, found more docile Nashville melodies with Krauss.
While accepting the Grammy for album of the year, the 37-year-old Krauss – perhaps wanting to remind the audience that Plant’s rock star hadn’t entirely matured – said there’s “never a dull moment” with the 60-year-old singer.
