The duo of Alison Krauss and Robert Plant first came about in 2007 with their smash album Raising Sand. Reconvening for the first time in nearly eight years, the singer's came together for "Light of Christmas Day," a track from the approaching film Love the Coopers.
In 2009, the Led Zeppelin icon and the country singer attempted a follow-up to the six Grammy award-winning Raising Sand, but the project was quickly terminated, UltimateClassicRock notes, and the artists were unable to create adequate material for the Album of the Year follow-up. The trailer for Love the Coopers can be found below, giving viewers the chance to listen to "Light of Christmas Day" ahead of its release on Nov. 13.
According to Deadline, the track is spliced with actual footage form the film, which stars John Goodman, Olivia Wilde, Ed Helms, Amanda Seyfried and Diane Keaton and involves a four-generation family uniting as one for Christmas Eve as eccentric events start to unravel.
Led Zeppelin fans can only hope the legendary group would come together for a reunion tour, but since Plant is dead set against it, fans can turn to his 2014 album with the Sensational Space Shifters, Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar.
"I cut the cloth according to my needs," Plant previously told Sound Opinions. "This, to me, is I think one of the most surprising, exciting and stimulating and also mostly heartfelt periods of my time as a singer."
Alison Krauss recently joined Taylor Swift's Squad on the 1989 tour. The 44-year-old stormed the stage alongside the "Wildest Dreams" singer with a fiddle in hand as they performed "When You Say Nothing At All." At the same gig Steven Tyler joined the 25-year-old pop sensation for "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing."
