L.A Queen Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 It would be cool to see them get a grammy for that record. i thought -mighty rearranger should have gotten one, but it would make more grammy sense for the plant/krauss record to be recognized. I agree. Raising Sand is one of the finest moment in Robert's solo career. It's truly a beautiful album that was created due to an amazing collaboration between the two of them, this is why I think they really deserve to win this award... BTW hi everyone I'm new on this board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of superb musicianship have to get recognition and win the awards it deserves (even though the nomination itself is a recognition).

eternal light Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm sure they will win everything. It's probably a slam dunk. We will be hearing about it for absolutely ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 http://music.msn.com/music/year-in-review/...sses/?GT1=28134 Robert and Alison placed #1 spot on the Hit List of MSN's "08" Hit and Miss sorry if this was posted already somewhere.

Melanie_72 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think Alison will do more of her own work with the Union Station in 2009 (even if/when she records the follow up to raising sand). I just saw another collaboration (DVD) from Alison at Wal-Mart (when browsing the music section). Robert was not on the collaboration DVD (Brad Paisley and others were). R That DVD you saw was her "A Hundred Miles or More" recording session that was taken from her CD that was released in 2007 and it features duets with John Waite, James Taylor and Brad Paisley. I saw the show on GAC (Great American Country) and it is excellent, I think you would enjoy it. Certainly worth checking out. I hope there will be a DVD released of the Raising Sand tour as well. http://music.msn.com/music/year-in-review/...sses/?GT1=28134 Robert and Alison placed #1 spot on the Hit List of MSN's "08" Hit and Miss sorry if this was posted already somewhere.

reids Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) I'm sure they will win everything. It's probably a slam dunk. We will be hearing about it for absolutely ages. It's the perfect marriage so to speak of Blues/Rock/Bluegrass/Country/etc... The Grammy nominating people (NARAS) love it when new music comes from two different sources. Look at Herbie Hancock (with his collaborations with Sting, John Mayer, Christina Aguillera, etc...) a few years ago, look at Tony Bennett (MTV unplugged and his duets album), look at Santana (with his collaborations from the Supernatural CD/DVD), Rod Stewart with his songbook (series).... I agree, Raising Sand will win all or most of the Grammys that they are up for this year (which is good in one way for Plant and Alison), but bad in another way as any slightest remote possibility of Robert returning for yet another one-off will be even more diminished by further successes in newer endeavors. I love their new stuff, but I also wanna see Robert rock out with JP, JPJ and Jason (so do millions...)....

Melanie_72 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Aretha Franklin has won 21 Grammys I believe. Then that makes her tied with Alison then!

R I would suspect Robert keeps the idea of winning Grammy's in perspective and that even if they do take all the categories they're nominated for won't be the reason he would continue to work with Alison.

ninelives Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 And Alison Krauss is musically challenging because... Because working with her in this genre is an area he never really ventured in on this level. He had to learn how to sing harmonies and use his voice to deliver the songs in a different style than he has in the past. I would say that is a challenge.
