Wow, alright. On your recommendation, I will finally hear this. I guess I was put off by how many covers are on it. Well, that and I just can't picture Robert Plant not rocking. Then again, I suppose it's for the best. Led Zeppelin will never be what the Who became.
I don't think that you will be disappointed. It certainly does not rock, but they both weave such delicate vocal webs that it is really hard not to be captivated. I think that Robert has made a brilliant career transition here in his golden years. It would not really make much sense for him to perform as a blues shrieker any more, even though I loved him in that role. He wears the elder statesman/elder mystic cloak very well.
