The Associated Press reports that LED ZEPPELIN frontman Robert Plant won a CMT Award Monday night (April 14) for teaming up with Alison Krauss on the song "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)". Plant said it was "peculiar" to be getting an award. He thanked his LED ZEPPELIN bandmembers for getting him through his teenage years and thanks Krauss for helping him get through his 50s.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss's collaborative album "Raising Sand", produced by T Bone Burnett, was recently certified platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for shipments in excess of a million copies in the United States. The Rounder Records album debuted at No 2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart following its release October 23, 2007, marking the highest chart position ever for the label. It remains inside the top 40 five months later.

In February, Plant and Krauss were recipients of the 2007 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals" for the track "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)".

The Grammy Award was the first-ever for Robert Plant as a solo artist after numerous nominations, and the 21st for Alison Krauss.

The two musicians begin their "Raising Sand World Tour" April 19 in Louisville, KY.
