When Led Zeppelin hung it up in 1980, Robert Plant wasted no time in mounting a solo career that would exceed all expectations. The singer went beyond the blue-rock format he was famous for, exploring variances of Celtic and English folk, American blues, early rock 'n' roll, psychedelic rock and jazz as well as Arabic, Moroccan, West African, Indian — you name it. To commemorate Plant’s illustrious run, Rhino has reissued all nine of his solo albums with bonus tracks and expanded packaging. Yeah, that’s right, we’re talking Pictures At Eleven, The Principle Of Moments, Shaken 'N' Stirred, The Honeydrippers Volume 1, Now & Zen, Manic Nirvana, Fate Of Nations, Dreamland, and even his most recent disc from 2005, Mighty Rearranger.
Single contains: "Hurting Kind (I've Got My Eyes On You)" from "Manic Nirvana" (fifth solo album), and three bonus cuts from the Rhino version of "Manic Nirvana", all of which were B-sides to the "Hurting Kind (I've Got My Eyes On You)," and "I Cried".
Robert Plant and The Band of Joy team up for this live set, mounted and filmed at the Artists Den in 2012. The 16 selections include: "Tangerine," "Down to the Sea," "I Bid You Goodnight," "A Satisfied Mind" and much more.
In 1968, a naïve young singer from the Black Country hills in England named Robert Plant was discovered wailing the blues by veteran session guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones. When Plant recommended his friend John Bonham as the drummer, one of the most successful bands in rock history was born as Led Zeppelin.
