It had been 6 or more years since seeing Robert perform live and my 1st Band of Joy experience in Portland.
There was an unexpected surprise thanks to the support band “Mississippi All Stars.” They managed to more than warm up the full house/sold out event for the Band of Joy. They were new to me and I …

Review: Robert Plant churns out pure gold to eclectic Vancouver crowd
Reveiw Amanda Ash, By  Vancouver Sun
Robert Plant and the Band Of Joy
Robert Plant is a musical nomad. He’s sailed the spiraling seas of ’70s psychedelia, scaled the jagged peaks of rock ‘n’ roll and wandered through the twisting backcountry of bluegrass. Today, touring in support of his new album Band Of Joy, he’s rambling through the pastoral prairies of Americana.
The 62-year-old vocalist, better known as the yelping frontman of Led Zeppelin, is a musician of perpetual …

As the crowd waited for Robert Plant and The Band of Joy to take the stage at the Wanee Festival on the banks of the Suwanee River in Live Oak, Florida last Friday night at 6:30 p.m. EDT, there were mumblings about whether he would do any Led Zeppelin songs in the set scheduled just prior to the …

It was great to be back in the vacinity of those May daze of 1975 this week when a visit to the London Trade Book Fair took me back to Earls Court. Coming out of the tube and seeing that grand old building come into view is like catching up on some much missed distant relation. It will be a shame of this monument to so many historic occasions is allowed to disappear under the bulldozer in the name of so called progress.
I was at the fair with my good …

Balky sound system doesn’t  deter incredible show by Robert Plant, Band of Joy
Review by Jonathan Tully
Robert Plant and his Band of Joy were about a third of the way through  “Please Read The Letter” – a song which Plant and Alison Krauss had turned into  a gorgeous, plaintive song of longing on their album Raising Sand – when a  horrific noise …

The new issue of the Tight But Loose magazine is OUT NOW.
Here’s a review from the Underground Uprising Zep site
Tight But Loose Issue 29
The issue of every new release of Tight But Loose from the highly elequent pen of Dave Lewis is always an event to be savoured. And this latest release is no exception. In fact I am of the opinion that this is one of the very best ever issues of this venerable organ, as they say in Private Eye! There are so many extremely interesting articles crammed …

Plant delivers rootsy Americana
The long golden ringlets, the rock-star poses and the microphone-stand strut are still the same. But the songs don’t remain the same when Robert Plant sings them.
The voice of Led Zeppelin brought his solo tour …

With new band, Robert Plant brings joy to Milwaukee
Walk into the Riverside Theatre midway through Monday night’s show without any preconceptions, and you might have thought you were seeing a completely different band. As the bear-like singer-songwriter Darrell Scott took lead vocals, Grammy-winning singer Patti Griffin contributed mesmerizing backing vocals as guitarist Buddy Miller pounded away on his axe.
The music was so enjoyable, it might have taken a minute for your eyes to settle on the leonine man at the back of the stage, and realized you were in the …
