ROBERT PLANT And ALISON KRAUSS To Perform At BONNAROO Festival - Dec. 11, 2007
According to Nashville's NBC affiliate WSMV-TV, LED ZEPPELIN frontman Robert Plant and bluegrass star Alison Krauss will perform at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tennessee next June to promote their collaborative CD, "Raising Sand". In addition to the "Raising Sand" material, they'll perform songs from their catalogs — including LED ZEPPELIN's "When the Levee Breaks" and "Black Dog".

Plant has told Rolling Stone magazine that he plans to hit the road in early 2008 with Krauss.

A disc of tender, mostly acoustic duets, "Raising Sand" — which was produced by T Bone Burnett — debuted at No. 2 n The Billboard 200 chart in late October, becoming an unexpected hit.

"Raising Sand" includes versions of the EVERLY BROTHERS' "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)", TOM WAITS and KATHLEEN BRENNAN's "Trampled Rose" and "Please Read the Letter", first released on the 1998 PLANT/JIMMY PAGE album "Walking Into Clarksdale".

According to Billboard.com, Plant and Krauss first performed together in 2004 at a Leadbelly tribute at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, but it took several years before they found time to team up in the studio with Burnett in Nashville and Los Angeles.

Tennessean.com reported that Plant and Krauss taped an episode of "CMT Crossroads" in October at The Mill at Lebanon in Tennessee that will air at a later date.

Plant and Krauss were interviewed on BBC's "Breakfast" show on October 31 about "Raising Sand" CD. Watch the nine-minute segment below.

ROBERT PLANT And ALISON KRAUSS To Perform At BONNAROO Festival

Personally I don’t have much interest in a Plant/Krauss tour or gig after reading all the rave reviews from ZEP’s performance last night and sampling some video footage the only time I will want to see Plant is when he’s on stage with Page, Jones and Jason Bonham.

And why he's going to do Zeppelin songs with her is quite silly unless they play The Battle of Evermore

he is bypassing what every music fan wants for this?I heard the song gone baby gone on the radio and it was awful!sorry robert will not be getting this one and I know you want to be remembered for more than the singer of the greatest band on the planet but that will never happen so except it and embrace it and do a tour already!

COMMENT | alison krauss is brilliant

check out her contributions to the 'oh brother where art thou' OST

not most metal/rock fans cup of tea, but if you are open minded enough to give it a go, you wont be disappointed.

he probably has prior committments to take care of before a full blown Zep tour - most, if not all, of these major artists get paid before they release any material - he may just have a 1 album agreement and has agreed to some tour dates with krauss as part of his contract - once he agrees/signs he can't break the agreement - if he does, on to court they go - and plant surely doesn't need any negative publicity right now and the wait will make us all even more anxious

Annoucement coming soon. Contract is signed. Ask anyone in the Nashville area. Zep will close the festival on the 15th. Plant and Krauss are playing as well. They signed the biggest guarantee for any modern musical act.
