Winning in all five of the categories they were nominated in, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss reigned supreme at the 51st annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland and Brad Paisley were also other multiple winners during the Sunday night (Feb. 8) ceremony at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Plant and Krauss found their charm with their first collaborative effort, Raising Sand, which was named best contemporary folk/Americana album and overall album of the year. Nominees in the latter category included Coldplay, Lil Wayne, Ne-Yo and Radiohead. Plant and Krauss‘ wins stemmed from individual tracks from the album -- best country collaboration with vocals (“Killing the Blues”), best pop collaboration with vocals (“Rich Woman”) and overall record of the year (“Please Read the Letter”).

In accepting the album of the year award, Krauss thanked a series of people involved with the album, including the musicians who joined them in the studio and on tour, before adding, “Especially Robert. There’s never a dull moment.”

Plant is well-aware of the status and reputation he achieved during the ‘60s and ’70s as Led Zeppelin‘s frontman.

“I’m bewildered,” he said in accepting the album of the year trophy. “In the old days, we would have called it selling out, but I think it‘s a good way to spend the Sunday. I’d like to thank Alison Krass for her kindness and patience, teaching me to sing in straight lines instead of doing all that twirly stuff. And T Bone Burnett, the conjuror, who as a producer has taken us to some great places.”

Burnett closed the acknowledgments by saying, “Thank you to Robert and Alison, I have to say, for coming to the studio with nothing on their minds except courage and love and freedom.”
