Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Reunite for New LP ‘Raise the Roof’
„Rumors of a follow-up have swirled for years, and they briefly attempted to cut one with producer Daniel Lanois before shelving the project, but Krauss says she didn’t feel ready until she heard Calexico’s “Quattro (World Drifts In).”
“[That] was the moment I knew we’d make another album,” she says in a statement. “We wanted it to move. We brought other people in, other personalities within the band, and coming back together again in the studio brought a new intimacy to the harmonies.”
