In a recent interview with Burton Mail, Chapman talks about her music and some thoughts on Robert Plant.

She tells interviewer Richard Castle:

“I’m always thrilled to have commercial success, but, for me, the measure of my success is to be asked to work with people like Robert Plant.

“A few months ago, we shared a meal and what struck me about him was how openminded and curious he was. And we’re not just talking about music. He’s got such a quizzical mind about everything and I think that’s a great quality for a musician to have.”

CMT’s Hot Dish column by Hazel Smith has a story about Alison Krauss and her current projects. Smith’s folksy style brings out the obscure information at times, like what’s on the breakfast menu.

Smith asked Krauss if she still heard from Robert Plant. Smith writes:

I asked her if she hears from Robert Plant, and she said she does — and that he’s coming back to Nashville. “He’s recording with Buddy Miller,” she said. Buddy is the great Americana singer, songwriter and instrumentalist who records with his wife, Julie, and often works with Emmylou Harris. Buddy was the guitar player for the Raising Sand tour Alison did with Plant.

Tom Netherland of the Herald Courier reports on Darrell Scott’s upcoming appearance at the Paramount Center for the Arts in Bristol, TN. During the interview, Scott commented on recording with Robert Plant in December, 2009:

“Those two-plus weeks were some of the most memorable times I’ve ever had in the studio,” Scott said on Tuesday afternoon from his home in Nashville, Tenn. “The number-one thing is that Robert loves music. You think they’re posing and just getting through it, but I was humbled with how Robert Plant loved the music – old country, blues, rockabilly.”

Netherland also reports a Buddy Miller produced album is forthcoming from Robert later in the year.

Robert Plant attended the 90th birthday party for former Wolves goalkeeper Bert Williams on January 31, 2010. There were 250 guests present at Molineux to celebrate the event.

Robert, who sat in the back with with Steve Bull, donated a signed guitar for a charity auction. The guitar brought £851 to benefit the Alzheimer’s Society. Robert commented: “I can get tickets for most gigs but there are some events where the tickets are priceless and this is one of them.”

According to Classic Rock Magazine, Robert Plant will join the Sound & Vision show at Abbey Road Studios on February 25, 2010. The show is to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. Robert will be supported by Beth Nielson Chapman and the London Oriana Choir.

Robert commented: “Performing at Sound & Vision is something I’m really excited about. Cancer Research UK is a very worthwhile cause, and when Bob [Harris] asked me to get involved I didn’t hesitate. My set is quite different from anything I’ve ever done before, as I’ll be performing with Beth and a full choir on stage. Cancer is a disease that affects so many people and Sound & Vision is a great way to raise money to fight it.”

The only way to get tickets (and other items that will benefit the charity) is to bid via the Sound & Vision eBay auctions.
