Sure, Plant doesn't have the range anymore... but he hasn't had it in 25 years! But at least his voice now has a nice kind of smoky patina to it, whereas 35 years ago he often sounded like he was breathing helium balloons.

As for Allison Krauss... she scares me. I mean, I can understand that a gal of a certain age could use a Botox injection or two, but her face is frozen like the tundra. Whatever happened to aging gracefully? I liked it better when she was the cute little pudgy folkie you only heard on NPR.
