Robert Plant in excellent release with Band Of Joy (videos)
It’s high time to tell. He has done it again. Robert Plant has recoreded his best album (do you say album these days?) together with his old friends in the group Band of Joy.
Here he talks about the Band and the recordings himself:
I’m especially very pleased with his singing. Despite the age-thing he sounds really good and fresh and I don’t believe it’s due to studio tricks at all.
Listen to this official first release single:
As he says in the interview it’s very ‘Plant-like’ and at least it brings something up my spine. And this music really makes you wanna dance.
Listen to this ‘Beatles-steal’ sone with tongue in cheek. Beautiful!
Central Two-O-Nine is a tune in the same mould as the songs on Led Zeppelin III. A mesh between acoustic and electric and folk and rock that Robert Plant seem to be specially fond of and has gone back to many times during the years. And I love him for it.
Listen to it played live in Dublin just a little bit more than a month ago.. Gives me goose-bumps:
And on that occasion they also played the old Led Zeppelin song Tangerine. More goose-bumps!
They also played my favorite Gallows Pole on the night. Holy Smoke, I should have been there!
Basically I just wanna sing, my hero says at the end of the interview and I’m very short of crying. What a legend!
Sing on Mr Plant! For many years to come. And I will for sure listen. And many with me.
