Re: Plant and Krauss Favorites For Grammy

[Meg Ireland <megireland9@xxxxxxxxx>]

Most likely not but given the amount of airplay rotation both the
music video and track will be receiving over the next few weeks with
this free piggyback promotion in the media, I would imagine they would
all receive a healthy royalty cheque (US: check)  at the end of the
year.

Robert Plant: "Please Read The Letter was an old song that me and
Jimmy Page wrote together post-Led Zeppelin, and it's been given that
Nashville touch, and it feels pretty good."

I think both versions are good.
