Robert Plant Gets Mercury Music Nod

Dan Hammer / News / 22/07/2008 15:38pm

Robert Plant has been shortlisted for this year’s Mercury Music Prize for his album with country superstar Alison Krauss.

The pair’s ‘Raising Sand’ album will go head-to-head with the likes of Estelle, Radiohead and human warthog Adele.

Plant and Krauss are currently 5/1 favourites along with Arctic Monkey’s side-project The Last Shadow Puppets who are available at the same price.

Krauss and Plant’s venture together has thus far put a full Led Zeppelin reunion tour on the backfoot but as the tour draws to an end, who knows what the future will bring.
