Robert Plant / ロバート・プラント - Band of Joy / バンド・オブ・ジョイ

Alison Kraus と共演したブルーグラス・アルバム『Raising Sand』がグラミー賞のアルバム・オブ・ジ・イヤーに輝いた元レッド・ツエッペリンのボーカル、ロバート・プラントの約5年ぶりのソロ・アルバム。

The set also featured some of Robert's previous solo material and some songs from his work with Alison, but their style is still constant rather than tributary. "Tall Cool One" is no longer a new-wave single but rather a root-sy, almost rock-a-billy rave-up. The band also threw in some tasty covers, such as Townes Van Zant's "Harm's Swift Way" and Richard and Linda Thompson's "House of Cards" and Los Lobos' "Angel Dance." Robert did not do all the lead vocals either. Buddy Miller sang "Somewhere Trouble Don't Go," Patty sang "Move on Up in Glory" and Darrell handled lead vocals on "Satisfied Mind."
