In November, Krauss picked up two CMA awards for her duet with Brad Paisley, "Whiskey Lullaby," which won in the Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year categories. The cut is featured on Paisley's album "Mud on the Tires."

Earlier this year, Krauss won three Grammys, bringing her career total to 17, more than any other female artist in the history of the awards.
