Robert Plant is hoping to record a second album

with bluegrass singer Alison Krauss, (This) following  the success of their debut effort, Raising Sand. He tells Britain's Guardian newspaper,
"When we go back on the road after Europe, back into the Carolinas and all those places, I think that we'll all be sitting in the back of the bus getting down and writing, maybe. It seems like the natural thing to do." And Plant remains vague on whether he turned down the chance to do a Led Zeppelin tour. "I don't hold the keys to any decision by anybody to do anything. And everything has to be for the right reason... I do things because I want to be excited and I want to be risky. More important to me than anything else really is to find out whether or not I've got the balls."
Plant and Krauss are in London Thursday night. They start a North American tour on June 2nd in Virginia.
