A Musical Interlude
Last night's Grammy awards were a gold mine for Alison Krause and Robert Plant, who won 5 Grammys including best album ("Raising Sand") and best record. Bluegrass star Krause has been a favorite of ours for many years, going back to when she was the front singer and fiddler for the contemporary bluegrass group Union Station. She has a beautiful, pure voice. (Gratuitous hillbilly comment: An' she's purdy, too!) This also happens to be her 26th Grammy, more than any other female vocalist, and the third most ever.
