Plant/Krauss take five Grammys

Plant and Krauss won their awards from their work on the CD "Raising Sand." The duo took the award for album of the year, record of the year for Please Read the Letter, best pop collaboration with vocals for Rich Woman. Contemporary Folk/Americana Album: "Raising Sand," (Rounder Records) and Country Collaboration with Vocals: Killing the Blues, (Rounder).

"We are thrilled and very grateful to everybody," said Krauss in taking home the album of the year, the final award of the night. Krauss said she thanked "especially Robert, there's never a dull moment."

"I'm bewildered," said Plant. "In the old days, we would have called this selling out. but it's a good way to spend a Sunday."

Producer T Bone Burnett praised Krauss and Plant for "coming to the studio with nothing on their mind , but courage...and freedom."

Plant said in winning the record of the year award that the idea of getting together was an experiment with Krauss, figuring they'd give it three days to see if it would work. "It's been given that Nashville touch, and it's really pretty good."

Krauss and Plant also sang several of their songs near the end of the night.
