Lovely. :)

Who'd of thunk Robert would go to a Country Music Awards :blink: and WIN for the video!

What were they joking about....."wide open" something, referring to the category? :lol:

Robert is getting his Americana groove on quite nicely.

It was held at Belmont University's Curb Events Center, named after Michael Curb, which was completed in 2003.

"I'd like to say how peculiar it is to be here. It's a great honor to have made a record in Nashville that sounds so good. I'd like to thank Don and Phil Everly for getting me through my teenage years, and I'd like to thank Alison for helping me get through my late 50s."

-Robert Plant

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss captured a trophy for their lively "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)" in the Wide Open Country video of the year category. Asked about their musical versatility, Krauss said, "Well, we've got piles of style. We hope that more of it is on the style side than the pile side."

Referring to his recent experiences of working in Nashville, the Led Zeppelin vocalist added, "I'm being initiated into this world. I mean, I knew about Don Gibson and all the great writers when I was a kid, but I got preoccupied for 30 years."

The iconic rock star was quick to praise Krauss' talent, although some reporters scrambled for online dictionaries to understand what he was saying.

"She's multifarious," he said. "She has a myriad of different parts to her style. Apart from the beautiful voice, the poignant vocal, she's one of the most incredible fireworks. It's like an incendiary of laughter and humor and sensitivity. It's magnificent. What a find, so late in life."

Krauss repaid the compliment by saying, "Oh, I think Robert can fit in just about anywhere. He's comfortable in any situation. I haven't seen anything that he couldn't handle. He's loved Nashville. What a great place to be, and it was a great night."

Nashville has a history, but they fired Hank Williams Sr from the Opry. What can you think about a place that fired Hank Williams Sr?
