Watch Robert Plant & Alison Krauss perform songs from Raise The Roof

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss sang "Can't Let Go" and "Trouble With My Lover" off their new Raise The Roof album.

Here's the scoop...

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss just released Raise The Roof, the long-awaited successor to their monumental 2007 album, Raising Sand, and to celebrate the occasion the duo have announced their first tour in 12 years.

Beginning on June 1, 2022, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and 27x Grammy-winner will bring their brand new music to an international run of bandshell shows. Tickets for U.S. dates go on sale December 3rd at 10 a.m. local time, following a series of pre-sales starting November 29th. European dates go on sale at 9 a.m. CET on November 26th, with pre-sales beginning November 24th.

The release of Raise The Roof has been accompanied by a host of major appearances and performances from Plant and Krauss. Last night they performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, fans can see the two icons play a few of the new songs on Live From Sound Emporium and then join a breathless Ann Powers for an NPR listening party which you can check out after the list of upcoming tour dates.

In the weeks leading up to Raise The Roof, the album has been celebrated with a New York Times Sunday Arts & Leisure profile, a multi-page spread in Vanity Fair, as well as features in Variety, Entertainment Weekly, People, Associated Press and far beyond. Says the New York Times, “Raise The Roof almost magically reclaims the spectral tone of Raising Sand, then finds ways to expand on it, delving further into both quiet subtleties and wailing intensity.”

Recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studios, sessions for Raise The Roof began in late 2019 and wrapped just weeks before the world went into lockdown. Like Raising Sand, T Bone Burnett produced the collection, which delivers a cosmic collision of early blues, country deep cuts, revolutionary folk-rock and lost soul music written by legends and unsung heroes like Merle Haggard, Allen Toussaint, The Everly Brothers, Anne Briggs, Geeshie Wiley, Bert Jansch, Ola Belle Reed, Brenda Burns and more.
