Plant, Krauss record again
Friday, February 13, 2009 – With the tremendous success of "Raising Sand" under their belts, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are back at it. The two, who won five Grammys Sunday, started new recording sessions, according to Ken Irwin of Rounder Records.
"Alison and Robert have been in the studio for about two weeks and although we haven't heard any of the music, we've been hearing good things from the musicians," said Irwin in an email.
Like "Raising Sand," T Bone Burnett is producing once again. He also was the band leader during their 2008 tour.
Rumors had floated that a live CD/DVD would be released of their tour last year. But that is not apparently the plan. "There are no plans for a DVD at this point," Irwin said.
Since the album is first being recorded, the label has no release date at this point. "We set our release dates when we get all the pieces in place and at this point, we don't have any yet," said Irwin.

If we've learned anything over the 7 years that have passed since the last Alison Krauss & Union Station record (2004's "Lonely Runs Both Ways"), it's that Krauss doesn't necessarily need her band for success. And the same can be said for the band regarding Krauss.
During the hiatus, Krauss scored a mega-hit with "Raising Sand," her collaboration with Robert Plant from 2007. At the same time, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Dan Tyminski and Dobro ...
The liner notes for the new collection of songs by Alison Krauss gives notice that, unlike the last collection ("Now that I've Found You" in 1995), this one showcases Krauss alone, far from Union Station, the band that first brought her into the spotlight. She's been a recognized solo artist for a while now. There's no doubt that Krauss has traveled far from her bluegrass/traditional roots. But for anyone who needs proof of that, this collection is a good argument - she ...
Over the past decade, Alison Krauss + Union Station have created and fine-tuned an approach that can deliver restrained, moody ballads and mid-tempo songs, hard-edged bluegrass and traditional material and lithe instrumentals with equal helpings of skill and conviction. The result is one of the most distinctive and compelling sounds in popular music, a verdict ratified by a slew of awards - Krauss herself owns more Grammies than any other female artist - and invitations to join all kinds of ...
