Alison Krauss has won 26 Grammy Awards over the course of her career as a solo artist, with Union Station, and with Robert Plant. This is more than other female artist and is 3rd most won by any artist.

Her soundtrack for the O Brother, Where Art Thou?, an album also credited with raising American interest in bluegrass, and the Cold Mountain soundtrack, which led to her performance at the 2004 Academy Awards.

Alison Krauss' most recent triumph, the certified-platinum Raising Sand, her 2007 collaboration with Robert Plant and producer T Bone Burnett, notched up a total of six Grammy® Awards, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year.

That mesmerizing modern-day masterpiece sets the stage for another stunner: Paper Airplane, the artist’s first album of all-new recordings in partnership with ...her remarkably skillful and renowned band Union Station since 2004’s Lonely Runs Both Ways.
