Alison Krauss and Robert Plant extend tour again

Sometimes, the chemistry just works. How else to explain Alison Krauss and Robert Plant’s decision to record an album, go on tour, add more dates, and now, expand it further? Perhaps an alternate explanation is the Grammy-nominated duo’s desire to spread their sweet sounds to the red states, as the new batch of tour dates finds them in Texas, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee. OK, also purple states like Ohio and Pennsylvania. And, all right, non-states like Ontario.

Maybe we'll stick with that “chemistry just works” explanation after all.
