'Robert Plant asked me if there was anything wrong with him. His kids tell him he's not a normal dad': The world according to Alison Krauss

The Grammy-winning singer on being out of her comfort zone with the Led Zeppelin singer, why being a female musician is lonely and wanting to turn 40 since childhood

'I'm starved of female company. I've worked and travelled mostly with men since the age of 12. You can only get so close because you're not involved with them relationship-wise,' said Alison Krauss

Alison Krauss is renowned for her clear, angelic voice and exquisite harmonies and has been awarded no fewer than 26 Grammy awards. Krauss and her band, Union Station, are known here as ambassadors of bluegrass music, and their albums have sold more than 11 million copies. In 2007 Krauss collaborated with Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant on the haunting Raising Sand, which was a surprise hit and went on to sell 2.5 million copies worldwide.

Born in Illinois in 1971, Krauss studied classical violin from the age of five, began winning local contests by the age of ten and was recording for the first time at 14. She released her first solo album in 1987 and her first album with Union Station in 1989.

Your body will tell you if the music’s good.

When you’re making music, you may listen with your ears but it’s all about the gut. I always know if something is working because I feel it in my bones – my recent album was tough to make as I couldn’t get that feeling so I just had to stop.

Recording with Robert Plant was like jumping off a cliff.

Krauss

Robert and I did it to have fun and see what would happen, but to start with it was very scary because both of us were out of our comfort zones. We were away from our usual environments so we just had to go with what we felt – it made for a very exciting recording process, though. I vividly remember calling him before we started Raising Sand and saying, ‘I’m worried’, and he said, ‘That’s good, because I am too’. He’s a great guy to spend time with – and as a singer, to watch how he works was amazing. Every time I talk to him we discuss doing the next one but when that will come to fruition I don’t know.

'Recording with Robert Plant was like jumping off a cliff. Robert and I did it to have fun and see what would happen, but to start with it was very scary because both of us were out of our comfort zones'

Making good music makes you ill.

I had to take a break from the new album because I was worrying over it so much that it gave me these killer headaches. That led to me finding it difficult to sleep, which would bring on worse pain and more worry – which wouldn’t let me sleep. I got into a vicious circle.

The right band is bigger than family.

I’ve been working with Union Station for 26 years now and with all the differences in personality, not being family, being raised all over the country and having different tastes, it is amazing that we’ve stayed together. The secret to working with the same group of people for a long time is lack of ego – no one person rushes to the front and is self-serving.

Being a female musician is lonely – I’m starved of female company.

I’ve worked and travelled mostly with men since the age of 12. You can only get so close because you’re not involved with them relationship-wise, but I’ve had some great long friendships with men. It’s nice that no one wants to borrow my clothes but I really miss the company and conversations of women.

Robert Plant’s children think he’s just a big child.

He asked me if I thought there was something wrong with him because apparently his kids tell him they want ‘a real dad, a normal dad’ and instead they have this big kid. He is crazily enthusiastic when it comes to music. He’s very passionate and excited about a wide variety of obscure artists, which is what makes him so much fun to work with.

I thought I knew about music until I met Robert.

I grew up in Illinois, and my parents listened to classical and folk, especially Hank Williams, but as a teenager it was my friends who lived across the park who introduced me to ELO, AC/DC, the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. So I have pretty eclectic taste, but it’s nothing on Robert Plant. I first met him at a Lead Belly Tribute gig in Cleveland in 2004 where we were both singing and we hit it off over an old bluegrass artist called Ralph Stanley. When we are working he is always playing me new stuff and saying things like [speaking rapidly], ‘You have to listen to this incredible Egyptian singer I’ve just discovered blah blah blah.’

Bluegrass music is about basic human values and shooting somebody.

It’s a music of the mountains and of the farm and those people who make their living off the land. And that life is hard. It has a beautiful, timeless sentimentality and the songs are about how things go wrong sometimes. It’s closely related to traditional Irish music and skiffle and it’s something that’s been handed down over the generations. It’s music that would have been played on the back porch on a Saturday night with people dancing to it.

Even as a kid I couldn’t wait to turn 40.

I knew my better years would be when I got older and I am about to hit that milestone. When I started it always got mentioned how young I was but I wanted people to be into my music because it was interesting and good, not because of my age. That’s not the case any more – getting older has taken care of that.

I don’t watch television.

I know that’s strange in this day and age but I don’t. I do have one but it lives in the basement and comes up to the house maybe once a year when friends come over and want to watch a big football game or similar. It’s old and pretty pathetic and it sits on a tom-tom drum and everyone who sees it makes fun of me.

Any award I win is packed away immediately.

Alison Krauss Cancer

I don’t keep anything on display in my house. Home is home and about family so I’ve put them all away. I like to keep a few work-related pictures on my refrigerator and I love seeing other people’s awards when I go to their houses to visit, but I like to keep my own home life separate.
