When I look at the modern solo work from rock’s most legendary frontmen, the music of Robert Plant impresses me the most. Paul McCartney puts out fine new music every few years, and Roger Waters just released an album that is fairly engaging if not self-referencing to a fault. But Plant’s solo albums feel the most fresh… the most “of their time” rather than “out of time.”
On October 13, Robert Plant releases his 11th solo album, Carry Fire. He’s backed once again by the Sensational Space Shifters, the band behind his last album, 2014’s impressive lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar. The first track to be shared from the album is the opener, “The May Queen”:
