Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Announce Third Collaborative Album with Zeppelin-Inspired Arrangements
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, the acclaimed folk and roots duo, have officially announced their much-anticipated third collaborative album. Following the monumental success of *Raising Sand* (2007) and *Raise the Roof* (2021), the pair returns with fresh material that intriguingly blends their signature folk sound with striking Zeppelin-inspired arrangements.
Known for their seamless melding of bluegrass, Americana, and classic rock influences, Plant and Krauss have once again pushed creative boundaries. The new album, tentatively titled *Echoes of the Stairway*, draws heavily on the iconic sounds of Led Zeppelin—Plant’s legendary former band—while still honoring the intimate, soulful harmonies that have defined their collaborations.
Fans can expect a rich tapestry of swirling guitar riffs, dynamic mandolin, and haunting pedal steel, woven together with Krauss’s ethereal vocals and Plant’s unmistakable voice. The duo has worked closely with top producers and session musicians who helped infuse the project with the adventurous spirit of Zeppelin’s classic era, giving the songs an expansive yet deeply personal feel.
Both artists have expressed excitement about revisiting and reinterpreting some of Led Zeppelin’s stylistic elements in this new work. Plant remarked, “This album is a tribute to where I started but through a completely new lens with Alison’s extraordinary musicality.”
Critics and fans alike eagerly await the release, anticipating that this third album will continue to showcase the duo’s remarkable chemistry and innovative fusion of genres. With their ability to reinvent themselves while honoring their roots, Plant and Krauss are poised to once again captivate audiences worldwide.
The album is expected to drop later this year, with a supporting tour to follow.
