Robert Plant speaks out to the Birmingham Evening Mail, a newspaper in the UK, confirming that he and Allison Krauss will be heading back to the studio to record their second album, their follow up to “Raising Sand” released in 2007. He also speaks very briefly about the Plant-less Zeppelin tour that Pagey, Jonesy and Jason are planning without him. Plant approves their tour without him and he also confirms that they won’t be calling it Led Zeppelin. Pagey’s new band will under a different band name.

Robert is probably getting sick of Led Zeppelin and I can’t blame him a bit. He wants to move on to other music projects and seems to be happy with Allison. The Robert and Allison project seems to be full time, not just a side project.

I wish people would get over themselves about Led Zeppelin and appreciate what Robert is doing with Allison. I like the Robert and Allison country project. It’s amazing stuff and I’m looking forward to their next album.

Robert is just doing what he wants to do and doing whatever makes him happy. He doesn’t give a shit what anyone else thinks. Musicians do what they want to do in their lives. If other people don’t like what they do, that’s tough shit. What Robert and Allison do together is really good stuff. I listen to “Raising Sand” all the time still.
