Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are appearing on CMT's hit series CMT Crossroads.
The duo's appearance will highlight their 2021 album Raise the Roof, which was the follow-up to their 2007 album Raising Sand. A clip of Plant and Krauss performing "High And Lonesome" can be viewed below. Their episode of CMT Crossroads airs tonight (November 29) at 9/c.
Plant and Krauss were recently honored with three Grammy Award nominations for Raise the Roof. Their nominations are for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Going Where The Lonely Go,” Best American Roots Song for “High and Lonesome” and Best Americana Album. The duo's 2007 album Raising Sand won five Grammys including Album of the Year.
Robert Plant’s post-Led Zeppelin career has been a wild series of adventures down different artistic and stylistic paths. The man does not rely on his history and he certainly doesn’t want to reproduce it.
Indeed, Plant has spent the past four decades exploring new sounds… and sometimes, some very old ones, often combining the past and present in surprising ways. It doesn’t always work, but you never feel like his albums are done on “cruise control.” There’s intent and vision behind every Robert Plant release. And give the man credit: he doesn’t just follow the money (hey, imagine how much he could have gotten for a Led Zeppelin reunion tour).
As he’s releasing his long-awaited second album with bluegrass artist Alison Krauss, we decided to look back at his entire post-Zeppelin career, including his collaborations with Ms. Krauss, Jimmy Page, as well as a few others. You may not be familiar with every song on this list, so consider yourself lucky: now you can go on YouTube and find some gems that you hadn’t heard before from one of the greatest singers rock and roll has ever known.
