With Alison Krauss' five Grammys on the night, she now has an astonishing 26 total Grammy wins. It makes her the most-winning woman of all time (a title she even held before tonight's haul) -- and is one behind Quincy Jones' living record of 27.
“I'm still amazed I get to do this for a living," she says. (The most ever wins is 31, from the late conductor Georg Solti.) When asked where Krauss keeps all her Grammys, Plant interjected, “That's silly. She keeps them in the back of my car."
Backstage, Krauss, Robert Plant and T Bone Burnett were jubilant: “Yes, we're doing another record!" Burnett yelled. Plant's only hint was that some of the songs were in the key of E.
On a serious note, Plant says the diversity of their musical inspirations served them well. “We ostensibly come from such different places on the musical map," Plant said. “Alison showed me so much I never been exposed to." “There are a limited number of people who like music and the record industry got in the business of trying to sell music to everybody," Burnett said. “We care about music, so we tried to make music we care about."
And will Led Zeppelin tour? “How old are you, man?" Plant asked. “Because you look older than me. You try to do 'Communication Breakdown' in these pants."
