Her voice is divine & she has impeccable musical taste. You can do a search for them in the search box or write me & I'll look up the links for you.

I'm a massive Led Zeppelin fan, so Plant (along with Page of course) takes on a near God-like status for me. I don't know Allison Krauss so well, or that genre of music, but I've heard her name bandied about quite a bit and would like to get more familiar with her music. I tend to be skeptical of these sorts of star collaborations, but it sounds like it could be interesting. I remember seeing Robert Plant on Charlie Rose a couple years ago in a full-hour interview and I was so impressed by how down-to-earth and just plain nice he seemed. Not at all like the diva Rock God one might expect. I’ve been debating with myself whether to pick up the album.
