Pop music spotlight: Alison Krauss and Union Station
September 11, 2011 at 4:32AM

We didn't get the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss tour, and reviews indicate that Krauss, on tour with her usual group, Union Station, is not offering anything from the Grammy-winning 2007 Plant/Krauss album, "Raising Sand." But Krauss, who has won more Grammys than any other woman and ranks third overall, is digging deep into her bluegrass catalog, including some tunes from "O Brother, Where Art Thou" and this year's solid but unspectacular "Paper Airplane." Always part of shows starring Alison Krauss + Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas -- the formal moniker -- are hot instrumental solos by all the players and Krauss' corny jokes.
