  ROUNDER RECORDING ARTISTS ROBERT PLANT | ALISON KRAUSS AND JIMMY STURR GARNER GRAMMY® AWARDS

  

  Burlington, MA - Rounder Records is pleased to announce that its artists garnered two Grammy® awards at last night's 50th Annual Grammy® Awards ceremony at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Alison Krauss | Robert Plant received the Grammy® award for ‘Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals' for "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)," from Raising Sand. The song is the only track from the album eligible for this year's Grammy® Awards. Raising Sand debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart following its October 23 release on Rounder Records and was certified RIAA Gold soon after. The album and subsequent tracks from Raising Sand will be eligible for nominations next year, at the 51st annual awards. Krauss, as a solo artist, collaborator, producer, and with Union Station, now has 21 Grammy® awards to her credit, the most of any female artist or any country artist.

  Jimmy Sturr continued his reign as polka king, winning his 17th Grammy® award for ‘Best Polka Album' for Come Share the Wine. Sturr and His Orchestra have received 21 Grammy® nominations in the category of ‘Best Polka Album.' Released in August, Come Share the Wine is a sharp collection that covers a range of source material - from classic polka standards like "Red Wing" and "Snappy Time" to an ingenious reinvention of the Singing Nun's infectious "Dominique" and two versions (both as a ballad and as a polka) of the sterling title track. The band's in-house vocalists Johnny Karas (who doubles on saxophones), Frankie Urbanovitch (who also contributes fiddle), and Gennarose are all featured extensively, along with twin brothers Jerry and Jack Calhoun, who contribute guest vocals on the rousing "I'm Gonna Steal Your Shoes."
