Torontosun.com is reporting:
ROBERT PLANT and ALISON KRAUSS, the favourites to win this year's best album race for their critically acclaimed bluegrass collaboration, Raising Sand, had a grand ole time rehearsing a two-song medley on Friday night (February 6th) at the Staples Centre leading up to their actual performance on Sunday night's (February 8th) Grammy show.
In fact, the jovial one-time LED ZEPPELIN singer gently chided the small audience in attendance when they politely clapped after he and Krauss performed with their Raising Sand producer T-Bone Burnett on guitar and three other band members.
"No please, please, that's far too much," said Plant before adding: "And next the royal family."The duo then ran through the slinky-then-uptempo medley of 'Rich Woman'/'Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)' one more time, after which a laughing Plant took an exaggerated bow.
