On her upcoming album according to this:

Great song choice for her. Guess we'll have to wait until April...
Guess this was the right place to put this, my apologies if not.

Excellent! In a recent RT interview, he rated Bonnie Raitt's recording of this tune as his favorite cover of one of his own songs. He described Bonnie's singing as "effortless." Alison Krauss is a similarly wonderful singer.
Before Robert Plant recorded "House of Cards" for Band of Joy, he performed "Matty Groves" in concert with Allison Krauss. The Fairport/RT legend spreads slowly but relentlessly, like a fungus.

Finally heard this on the radio last weekend - it's absolutely gorgeous (and faithful to the original).

That sounds a bit unpleasant! Can you get it treated?
