Robert Plant and Alison Krauss release new video :: Music News :: Articles

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have released a video for “Please Read the Letter,” the second single off of their joint album Raising Sand, released late last year on Rounder Records.

“Please Read the Letter” was written by Plant and Led Zeppelin bandmate Jimmy Page. Director Rocky Schneck shot the video in Los Angeles at a sparsely decorated gothic mansion, meant to portray the haunting sadness of the song’s lyrics. The video debuted recently on the Country Music Television network, and is available at Rounder.com.

As previously reported, Plant, Krauss and their band (led by celebrated producer T-Bone Burnett) will kick off their Raising Sand international tour late next month with four shows in the Southeast. After wrapping up the tour’s European leg in May, Plant and Krauss will return to the U.S. to play an additional 21 dates throughout June and July.
