Alison Krauss Has Recorded Some Songs With Def Leppard

Def Leppard’s next album ‘Diamond Star Halos’ has an interesting guest, Bluegrass-Country singer Alison Krauss in on two tracks on the Def Leppard album.

Krauss is a 27 times Grammy Award winning, five of which were earned for her first collaboration with Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and their ‘Raising Sand’ album on 2009. Plant and Krauss released a second album ‘Raise The Roof’ in 2021.

The first taste of ‘Diamond Star Halos’ is the very Leppard sounding ‘Kick’.

‘Diamond Star Halos’ is the first Def Leppard album since ‘Def Leppard’ in 2015. The band is still Joe Elliott[vocals], Rick Savage [bass], Rick Allen [drums], Phil Collen [guitar], and Vivian Campbell [guitar]. Joe, Rick and Rick are original members, Phil Collen joined in 1982 and Vivian Campbell came along in 1992.

Def Leppard recorded Diamond Star Halos simultaneously in three different countries with Joe in Ireland, Sav in England, and Phil, Vivian, and Rick in the United States.

David Bowie pianist Mike Garson also performs on “Goodbye For Good This Time” and “Angels (Can’t Help You Now).”

‘Diamond Star Halos’ will be released on 27 May 2022.
