Robert Plant

[Kristy]

So I'm a big, big fan of Patty Griffin and was twee excited when she put out a new record and tour (we'll get to that). Excellent songwriter, singer and general Americana goodness. So I have to admit I was a little put off finding out that ex-Zep fuck monkey Robert Plant was on this recording as well.



But you know what? The Plant-ish contributions are not all that bad! Yes, I said that! Unlike his over-pretentious shit he did with Alison Krauss - and that record bored me to death - Plant doesn't seem all the invasive on the duets with Patty. This could be due to producer Craigg Ross doesn't allow for them to sing like they are a behemoth SUV stuck in the mud like he did with Kraus. Plant takes on more of backseat role here (where he belongs) and accents Patty's voice rather than competing with it. This record flows like honey in cold tea on a hot summers day. Maybe Plant is getting old and yeah, good for him, at least he doing so with grace and character unlike his former joke of bandmates. I look forward to seeing them both July 10th(?) at Red Rocks. It'l be the only concert I can afford all year so it better be a good one. Otherwise, I'll cut what's left of Plant's nuts off.

Wow, that shit SUCKS ass!

Those bitching about the Sabbath album need to give this garbage a listen!

You know, you can fucking blow me when hanging from a bridge.

Wasn't she part of the recent Band of Joy work that Plant put together?

[Kristy]

You are correct, sir!

[Von Halen]

Mods, delete this garbage!

He must like tapping female singers that suck.

Wasn't he tapping the ass of that other broad he made the horrible music with?

Wait a minute, Von? Plant sang with your mother?

If he did, it would be better than this garbage you posted.

Oh, come on...it's not nearly as awful as you make it. To me, there is a really cool Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris vibe to it, which truly comes to form on this track...

Robert Plant's solo career is uneven. "Manic Nirvana" and "Fate of Nations" were really good IMO.
"
Walking into Clarksdale" with Jimmy Page came with great moments.

I was lucky to meet Robert Plant in Wales in the summer of 1998. I was trekking here and there and staying in Maccynleth,
a town that is just 5 miles from Bron-Yr-Aur (which I hadn't noticed).
My camera had broken down while climbing Ben Nevis in the Western Highlands the week before, and I was pissed that the day
before I hadn't been able to take pics on top of the horse-shoe shaped mountain (with a "llynn" right in the middle) I'd walked up,
so I was walking to the newsagent's to buy a postcard of it. It was market day, a big one gathering lots of folks.
Suddenly, a few meters from the newsagent's, I heard voices calling behind me, louder and louder. As I was a stranger I didn't pay
attention, but the voices started yelling and I felt a tap on my shoulder. A guy asked me for a lighter (I as smoking a cigarette) and
he said it wasn't for him, but "the man over there". Robert Plant... I was so glad I met him - I told him I was, and added I had "all the
albums" of course. He answered: "You're my buddy", which he could... He asked me where I was from, and he told me "We'll play in
Paris next November". I asked: "You mean with Jimmy?" He nodded. "By the way, if you want to see him, he's in the inn behind you -
I turned round, the inn's name was "the White Lion", their place... I said I didn't want to bother him (which of course I regretted
afterwards).
I had just bought a John Lee Hooker compilation in the market place, and we had a short chat about it.
He asked me if I liked "Walking into Clarksdale", and I said "yes, a lot", but I actually did a few weeks later. At that time I didn't like it much.

That was a ood day.

I had bought Dave's "Crazy from the Heat" at Tower Records in Glasgow, which I read at night after my daytime trekking. In my car I played
DLR Band. Great year, great summer.

Chef, I think you over cooked your brain.

That's 5:25 of my life I can't get back. Fuck you Chef!
