Production Team For ROBERT PLANT, ALISON KRAUSS Honored At 24th Annual TEC AWARDS

October 10, 2008

The engineers, sound mixers, producers and other audio production professionals behind ROBERT PLANT and ALISON KRAUSS' "Raising Sand" were among the many winners at the 24th annual Technical Excellence & Creativity Awards held Friday evening, October 3 at San Francisco's Westin St. Francis Hotel.

In addition to 26 awards for Technical and Creative Achievement, a sold-out house including many of the industry's finest creative talents witnessed two riveting presentations: the induction of musician and producer T Bone Burnett into the TEC Awards Hall of Fame and the presentation of the prestigious Les Paul Award, sponsored by the Gibson Foundation, to "King of Western Swing," musical artist Ray Benson.

Twenty-one-time Grammy winner Alison Krauss and rock legend Robert Plant presented the Hall of Fame award to Burnett — together delivering a poetic appreciation of his knowledge of American musical history and dedication to the craft of recording. Both returned to the stage later in the evening with Burnett and his production team when their collaborative project, "Raising Sand", won the TEC Award for Record Production/Album.
