Robert Plant has become a beacon for what it truly means to involve as an artist- a reminder that music is not a fixed point in time, but a living, breathing journey. He doesn’t cling to the glory of his Zeppelin days, nor does he try to mimic the voice or personal that made him a legend. Instead, he embrace change, allowing each chapter of life to deepen the emotional resonance of his songs. watch video here…..

It’s a “gray and miserable” day in western England, but Robert Plant is in the mood to be challenged. If anything, the mist is making him stronger.

We’re connecting in late December, more than a year after Plant released his stunning collaborative album with Alison Krauss, Raise the Roof, which is in contention for three Grammy Awards at this year’s ceremony. It’s this type of unpredictable spirit — the project, like its Album of the Year–winning predecessor, Raising Sand, is rooted in bluegrass and country traditions — that has guided Plant for the majority of his career.

Or you can actually explain some of it away. It doesn’t mean to say that any of the processes that got me to those songs are the ways that I live my time now. Nonetheless, I still know those stories, and that’s what got me to those songs.” Mercifully, he chose the latter path this time around.arked on his journey as a solo artist in 1982. As he likes to put it, “I’ve sort of woven my way through it all.”
