Hello badgers,
I'm a huge LZ fan, and the other day while lookin through the freo cd library (anyone from WA will know where/what freo is) and i saw about 3 albums of Mr. Plants solo stuff! I never knew he released some solo stuff. I know JPJ did. Can anyone tell me what Mr Plants solo music is like? I don't wanna buy the album to listen to it and think its absolute **** and lose respect for man. Any info???? 
Peace,
Chips

It's that bad. |

Plant's lastest album, Dreamland, is good, but it is nothing like LZ. It is guitar-driven; has a good, inventive guitarist. The title is apropo; the whole CD is pretty dreamy and quirky. I got it mostly because I was curious about the version of Dylan's One More Cup of Coffee. I don't quite like the version, but it is OK. Anyway, if you like Plant as a singer, then I think it is worth getting. Look at Amazon for a better description.

Just stick to Led Zeppelin.  |

I really enjoyed "Dreamland" and recommend it. Also, for what it's worth, I consider "Fate of Nations" to be one of my 'desert island' CDs. I don't listen to it on a regular basis anymore, but everyonce in a while I'll pop it in the CD player and never cease to be amazed at how great of an album it is!  However....if you're not familiar with Plant's solo career, I'd pick up a copy of "66 to Timbuktu", as it was really designed to serve as an introdutory release for people just like you. You'll get most of the early hits from the '80s and a sampling of the new stuff. Once you have a chance to sample the wares, you might want to go out and pick up some of the albums themselves. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
