(click the thumbnails to make the above pictures bigger - so pretty! ♥)
With Robert Plant (sorry these are tagged, I know it's not pleasant on the eyes, I'll see what I can do about getting untagged versions):
With Joy Williams & John Paul White of The Civil Wars:
So we were never notified of this (do not even get me started on how much we've missed lately because nobody on Alison's team has given us any information lately...) but Alison was part of the Americana Association Music Awards tonight.
I only knew because I tuned into the live audio stream and Alison, Emmylou Harris and Buddy Miller opened the show with "I'll Fly Away" (to be honest, I never heard Alison and the only reason I knew she was on it was because the announcer said so at the end - and trust me, if I can pick up "Paper Airplane" playing in Starbucks over my headphones, general Starbucks chatter, and the blenders today, I can pick her up anywhere) and then it was announced that she just sang on that, which was quite surprising. I didn't believe it until we got the above picture about an hour and a half after.
She also presented Jerry with an award and talked about him and what he brought to the band (also saying that as a band, they were "getting ready to fold" before he came along, aww!) and giggled quite a bit. It was just adorable in general, you can really feel the love and admiration she has for him.
They also announced that an edited version of this awards show will be broadcast on PBS in November, and my friend said that last year's audio was up on NPR the following day, so cross your fingers for that!
(I'll update this post as more pictures and information becomes available because someone has to do it if AK's website doesn't [not that I mind, I'd just prefer to know about these things before they actually happen]. No, I'm not bitter or anything...)
