Happy Birthday! Robert Plant

It has been all quiet on the blog side. Work has been very busy in the real world.  Any way I thought I would drop in and celebrate Robert Plant's birthday August 20.

He has a new album coming out next month Lullaby and ..The Ceaseless Roar. The exciting thing is it has new songs, not covers. The first since 2005's Mighty ReArranger.

About the new stuff..

The first single from the album done live..

This is a version of Led Zeppelin's "In the Light" covered by Robert Plant at one my all time favorite Robert Plant shows that I have been too!

I liked this song a lot as well..."Ship of Fools:

Oh well I hope he Celebrated..

Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin sure knows how to create a buzz. Their mysterious "Facebook  Countdown" ended today.

Here is yesterdays post,,,

Of course having over 6.5 million likes on your Facebook helps. If I started a countdown on my blog visitors would go "Okay that was a waste of time." My friends might say "wow he can count." Anyway, the buzz is about the reunion concert being released as a movie to theaters in October and a DVD in November. Here is the trailer..

The concert was incredible. I know this since it was delivered to me on CD./DVD the day after the reunion. I am sure this version will be even better! Since Jimmy Page has worked on the mastering, plus a chance to see the band on a movie screen..well that hasn't happened since "The Song Remains the Same" Anyway I wrote a song by song review of the reunion concert well five years ago hear is a link to that if you are interested in what I thought.

There was another announcement regarding Led Zeppelin yesterday. They will be honored at this year's Kennedy Center Gala and you can read about them and Buddy Guy here. Anyway, thats all the news here I will leave you with a song..
