With his long blonde curls, bare bark and chilling highs, Robert Plant is still considered the archetypal rock singer to this day. In his solo work he shows a broad musical interest, which even led him to Africa (including at the Festival Au Desert).

By mixing African instruments through it, it sounds both familiar and refreshing. At the age of 58 Robert Plant still manages to surprise us in a positive way. (MS)more
