Another unforgettable classic........

FYI

Most requested song - measured by air play royalties paid:

Today - the most requested song - by far - has been Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" Atlantic records has paid songwriters Plant/Page over $25,000,000 in airplay royalties for this song (at .03 cents per play) since it's release in 1974.

Get the "Led" out

The most "played" song FM Radio, is one of the beetles songs. "Yesterday" I think.




Sting - Fields of Gold

Robert Plant and Alison Kraus:

[DonnaB]

Oh I love Alison Krause! Well Robert Plant too but his voice is not as angelic as Alison's. She grew up just a few miles south of me and I when she was very young from when I went to a few local talent contests with my brother in law and his family (country music band) which she was part of. That girl plays a mean fiddle!

This has always been one of my favorite songs of hers:

@sari: Thanks so much for this post - Robert Plant and Alison Kraus. It's an album I have meant to listen too for a long time, but kept forgetting about it. Now it's posted on GeeksToGo. I will now seek it out

There is a connection with Kraus and this next track. I wonder if DonnaB will post the answer.

Alison Krauss played fiddle in that tune along side the Soggy Bottom Boys which was on the soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou?

She is/was big into bluegrass. Yeeeehaaaw!

EDIT: OOoops! Forgot to wink at cha!

I did not know that, it is a better answer than the one I expected. She also plays fiddle on a couple of the Plant\Kraus album.

The connection was the track - Down To The River To Pray, see not as good a your answer

Nutloaf, I was first introduced to the Alison Kraus/Robert Plant collaboration on a TV show - Unplugged, maybe? I was really impressed, and (legally) downloaded Raising Sand. I then had the opportunity to see them in concert (really really surprising I would have done that) in support of the album, and to this day I consider it one of the best live shows I have seen. And yes, she plays an amazing fiddle, and her voice is so pure. I also felt that it showed how Robert Plant had been so successful for so long - he really is an amazing singer, and his feel for the blues/bluegrass both really comes through.

Changing direction now - this band opened for Of Monsters and Men this summer, and I was impressed by them.

And I hope the video plays for you. I'm having issues with it, although it's the official video from their Youtube channel.

@Nutloaf Thank you for Down in the river. I had forgotten how beautiful she sings that song and how much it means me.
