The Robert Plant and Alison Krauss album Raising Sand, produced by T. Bone Burnett, has been certified RIAA Platinum. The Rounder Records album debuted at #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.

Last month, 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 Plant as a solo artist after numerous nominations, and the 21st for Krauss.

Burnett also produced the Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack.

The two musicians begin their Raising Sand World Tour April 19th in Louisville, KY. Dates have been set through July 1, with more July dates to be announced shortly.
