Rock icon Robert Plant, renowned for his frontman role in Led Zeppelin, has joined forces with musician Alison Krauss to give new life to one of the band's timeless classics. The duo has embarked on a highly-anticipated North American tour, captivating audiences with their unique blend of folk-inspired music.

Plant, known for his diverse musical influences, spoke candidly in a 2007 interview with The Guardian about his newfound appreciation for white American roots music, particularly the traditional "mountain" music of America. This exploration led him to collaborate with Krauss, forming a powerful musical duo in the mid-2000s.

Originally inspired by roots blues musician Memphis Minnie, this epic song became a highlight of Led Zeppelin's landmark album, often referred to as "Led Zeppelin IV" (1971).

The North American leg of the "Can't Let Go" tour kicked off in Tulsa, Oklahoma this week, marking the beginning of a series of unforgettable performances. Due to overwhelming ticket demand, Plant and Krauss recently announced ten additional tour dates, allowing more fans to experience their captivating live shows.

As the tour progresses, Plant and Krauss will also join forces with Willie Nelson & Family for a special run of dates on his Outlaw Music Festival Tour, which will also feature music legend Bob Dylan. This collaboration showcases the immense talent and recognition Plant and Krauss have garnered within the music industry.

In an interview with USA Today, Plant expressed his joy and pride in performing the old Led Zeppelin songs alongside Krauss. He spoke of the transformative effect of blending their voices and musical styles, enabling a fresh and captivating interpretation of these renowned tunes.

The former Led Zeppelin frontman shared his emotions, saying, "It's incredible to hear these songs in a new light. They are beautiful adaptations that I could never have imagined. It's a great achievement and a truly emotional experience."
