When Led Zeppelin founder Robert Plant teamed up with Nashville mama Allison Krauss, critics compared the musical collaboration to a hookup between King Kong and Bambi. But their album "Raising Sand," produced by T-Bone Burnett, earned the odd duo widespread raves.

Boing Boing tv's London music correspondent Russell Porter caught up with Plant and Krauss backstage at the Mercury Prize, an annual award for the best album from the UK or Ireland.

  • The last 2 Robert Plant concerts I saw were better vocally than the 1985 concert I saw of him. He conserves his voice, but he can still wail away like a banshee on "Whole Lotta Love", and his musicianship and professionalism are more developed than ever!!!! Robert Plant is the king of ROCK VOCALISTS!

  • He can still sing pretty dam high and about the dissapointment thing, wrong if I had a nickle for every one who either went to the reunion or saw the bootlegs or even the 1:00 clip of the pro shot footage of Black Dog (I own a bootleg of it) about 98% want them to tour.

  • Led Zeppelin founder Robert Plant? More like Jimmy Page.

  • cherokee songwriter,just take a listen, im sure you will give these girls a call the best unknown songwriters you have ever heard, just need a helping hand like the man with the golden voice, we have golden songs, diggermoles the cherokee on you tube

  • Robert Plant is a wonderful man.He's a great singer and still is,and also,as a side note,his regular talking voice is amazing.Such a great accent.

  • Its very weird, Robert Plant is right now 62 and Allison Krauss is right now 39!

    Allison Krauss does it for the money for sure.

  • probably going to get a lot of hatemail for this but I think that robert is much cooler now than he was back then. back then I thought that on stage and everything he was kind of a faggot. perhaps it was just for the girls. it was and still is hard to watch him preform live with zeppelin on the videos.

  • wasn't page the real founding member of led zepp? and i really hate the announcers's voice during the intro of the story..is she trying to prevent a burp? i'm going to download this album because i haven't heard. i like to wait until albums are a year or two old before getting. by then the hype is dead and i can absorb it on my own and decide if i like it or not. been listening to lots of led zepp lately..maybe its time for this one.

  • This pair produced a totally wonderful album. Congratulations to both of them.

    I´ve seen Plant perform 3 times since 1999 and he just becomes better and better. I had no idea who Alison was before Plant started working with her, and her work on this album knocks me off my feet.

    And lastly, great production!

  • ill just say I love Led Zeppelin
