Plant: I know my way around the Delta pretty well, and I still love listening to those records from the 1930s-King Solomon Hill, early Lemon Jefferson stuff. When people asked me about Robert and I told them that, they said, “No way.” Bluegrass folks thought that was so amazing, and I had no idea he knew about any of that. Krauss: The first conversation I ever had with Robert was about Ralph Stanley. Even though some of these songs are coming out of the ark, they are evocative and quite magical-never mind how they’re translated. Plant: The great thing about us working together was, is, and remains the enthusiasm and the diligence about it. Why do you think the combination of the two of you works so well? The two of you started working together in 2004 when you performed together at Robert’s request in Cleveland at a Lead Belly tribute concert.
