Robert Plant and The Band of Joy team up for this live set, mounted and filmed
at the Artists Den in 2012. The 16 selections include: "Tangerine,"
"Down to the Sea," "I Bid You Goodnight," "A Satisfied Mind" and much
more.
In 1968, a na?ve young singer from the Black Country hills in England named
Robert Plant was discovered wailing the blues by veteran session
guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones. When Plant
recommended his friend John Bonham as the drummer, one of the most
successful bands in rock history was born as Led Zeppelin. But the group
that started with such force also ended in flames after 12 years, as
Bonham's death from alcohol poisoning in 1980 split the band after nine
albums. The remaining members went their separate ways, but Bonham's
death hit Plant particularly hard. Starting his solo career in 1982 with
his Zeppelin-like Pictures at Eleven album, Plant would use a slew of
great drummers over the next few years, including Phil Collins, Cozy
Powell, Barriemore Barlow, and Richie Hayward. Collins appeared on the
1983 follow-up, The Principle of Moments, and Plant achieved a lighter
touch somewhere between Genesis and Zeppelin's quieter side with tracks
like "In the Mood" and "Big Log." But the singer would feed his Elvis
Presley infatuation on 1984's The Honeydrippers, Vol. 1, teaming with
Page and other guests on influential roots rock material.
Refusing to be typecast, Plant then threw a major curve with Shaken 'n' Stirred,
the 1985 album that approximated new wave through the synthesizer
embellishments of keyboardist Jezz Woodroffe and guitarist Robbie Blunt,
plus Hayward's use of electronic drums. It was a creative highlight of
his career, but despite a hit in "Little by Little," the album sold
poorly, and the rumblings about a Zeppelin reunion mounted. Plant took
the next few years off, then answered the call for Zeppelin material
with 1988's Now & Zen, which featured samples from his old group
(plus selections from its vault on the subsequent tour). Manic Nirvana
furthered the post-Zeppelin theme in 1990, and Plant's 1993 CD Fate of
Nations proved another artistic high point and found Plant singing
Page's name on the hit "Calling to You." The old songwriting partners
had gotten together again for special occasions with Jones and drummers
like Collins and Bonham's son Jason, but organized a different reunion
in 1994. Plant brought in his bassist, Charlie Jones, and touring
drummer, Michael Lee, to back the singer and Page -- who added a British
symphony orchestra and Middle Eastern musicians for their televised No
Quarter concert and CD. Despite Plant blocking John Paul Jones from
participating (the two had disagreed throughout their careers), the show
proved a fascinating blend of different cultures tackling Zeppelin
classics like "Since I've Been Loving You" and "Gallows Pole."
As the versatile John Paul Jones made a name for himself as a producer (of
groups as disparate as Heart and the Butthole Surfers) as well as solo
artist, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page further stirred the ashes with their
1998 studio CD, Walking into Clarksdale. But the quartet format (with
Charlie Jones and Michael Lee) paled in comparison to Zeppelin's similar
blend of bombast and subtlety, and poor sales put Plant back at the
crossroads of his 35-year career. He stayed away from recording until
late 2001, when he stepped into the studio with a batch of original
material and a few well-chosen covers and recorded Dreamland. Taking his
penchant for experimenting with ethnic musics and blending it with a
softer approach to his bluesy pop, he steered in another interesting
direction almost 40 years into his recording career. In November 2003,
Atlantic issued Sixty Six to Timbuktu, a two-disc compilation dedicated
exclusively to Plant's solo work. The set ranged from hits like 1988's
"Tall Cool One" and the Honeydrippers favorite "Sea of Love" to the
previously unissued "Upside Down" and a pre-Zeppelin single dating from
1966. Mighty Rearranger followed two years later, and Plant teamed up
with bluegrass icon Alison Krauss to release the Grammy-winning
collaborative album Raising Sand in 2007. Plant next revived the name of
his first band, Band of Joy, in 2010 for the self-titled Band of Joy
release, which was co-produced by Buddy Miller.
