Plant-Krauss II in the works
Nashville radio station WKDF is reporting that former Led Zeppelin vocalist and current Alison Krauss duet partner Robert Plant has rented a home in Nashville and is working on a follow-up with Krauss to their hugely successful Raising Sand CD.
The possibility of a second Plant/Krauss collaboration has generated a great deal of speculation, and is sure to disappoint both Zepp fans hoping for a reunion and AKUS fans longing for a new band project.
From the WKDF web report…
“We’ve got a whole bunch of songs, and we’re just going, ‚ÄòDoes that work and does that work?’” Plant told the United Kingdom’s Absolute Radio. “So we’re trying it out again.”

Shouldn’t really make a difference though. True fans of Alison won’t be disappointed no matter what it is that gets released first.
