Now that Raising Sand, the long-awaited collaboration between Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, has arrived in stores and in the hands of patient fans, the singers are making the rounds in support of their 58-minute disc.
With a touring band including several of the studio musicians employed on the album, Plant and Krauss took to the stage in Tennessee on Oct. 18 for an episode of "CMT Crossroads" to air in January.
They are also slated to perform in the studio on tomorrow's "Today" show on NBC, and an appearance on "Charlie Rose" on PBS has also been mentioned.
Plant was a guest on "Charlie Rose" on May 11, 2005, supporting Mighty ReArranger. That full interview can be viewed here.
The performance segment of the Oct. 24 "Today" show appearance with Plant and Krauss can be viewed below. They performed "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)."

Jason Bonham
Jason Bonham, son of the late John "Bonzo" Bonham, does not take lightly the responsibility of carrying on his father's legacy. Having made a head start at drumming while he was a child, Jason is now passing on the same lessons to a third generation of Bonham drummers.
John Bonham's death in 1980 left such an impact on the surviving members of Led Zeppelin that they knew immediately they could not continue as they were. Yet Jason Bonham's familiarity with the band made him a shoe-in to join his father's bandmates on the few occasions reunion concerts have taken place.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of Bonham's most successful album release to date, the Platinum-certified disc The Disregard of Timekeeping released by his band, Bonham. To mark the milestone, he recently toured with a new band and played under the banner of "An Evening with Jason Bonham."
In the past, Bonham has also toured and/or recorded with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Foreigner, UFO, Paul Rodgers, Joe Bonamassa, Virginia Wolf, Airrace, Healing Sixes and Motherland. He also acted in the movie Rock Star and appeared on the reality TV show "SuperGroup."
